Hezbollah's parliamentary group leader, MP Muhammad Raid, who is claimed to have been killed in Israeli attacks, criticized Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and the government for banning the movement's military activities in the country. Raid stated, "While the Lebanese were expecting a ban on the attack, they were faced with a decision banning the rejection of the attack. The government could not use the international friendships it claims to have to force the enemy to stop the war against our country."
Hezbollah, which has officially joined the war between the US and Israel and Iran, launched an attack on Israel last night for the "revenge" of the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and to defend Lebanon. In response, Israel targeted various groups, primarily in the capital Beirut and the Dahieh region.
PRIME MINISTER PROHIBITED MILITARY ACTIVITIES
While mutual attacks between the two sides continue, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam announced that the government has banned Hezbollah's security and military activities in the country, allowing only political activities.
HEZBOLLAH RESPONDS
However, Prime Minister Salam's decision did not find a response on the Hezbollah front. Muhammad Raid, the Parliamentary Group Leader of Hezbollah, who is claimed to have been killed in Israeli attacks, made statements to the Hezbollah-affiliated Al Manar television channel.
Reacting to the government's ban on Hezbollah's military activities, Raid stated: "While the Lebanese were expecting a ban on the attack, they faced a decision regarding the prohibition of rejecting the attack. The government could not use the international friendships it claims to have to force the enemy to stop the war against our country."
ISRAEL'S ATTACKS ON LEBANON
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the missile attack launched on Israel from Lebanese territory last night. In a statement made by the Israeli army at night, it was noted that sirens were activated in the northern part of the country after it was detected that missiles were fired from Lebanon.
The Israeli army announced that it had launched airstrikes across Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah, and then explosions were heard in the capital Beirut. The Israeli army threatened to attack more than 50 villages and towns in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, asking residents of the region to evacuate their homes. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that 31 people lost their lives and 149 were injured in the airstrikes carried out by the Israeli army in the capital Beirut and southern regions.
