Hezbollah Denies Responsibility For Rocket Fire On Israel
The group on Saturday denied any involvement in the rocket fire from southern Lebanon into Israel.
Hezbollah denied firing rockets at Israel on Saturday, as Israel struck southern Lebanon in response to three rockets it said were launched from across the border.
“Hezbollah denies any involvement in the rocket fire from southern Lebanon into the occupied Palestinian territories (Israel),” the Iran-backed group said in a statement, calling Israel’s accusations “pretexts for its continued attacks on Lebanon”.
The Israeli military had said it struck dozens of rocket launchers in Lebanon in response to cross-border rocket fire on Saturday.
“A short while ago, the IDF (army) struck dozens of Hezbollah rocket launchers and a command centre from which Hezbollah terrorists were operating in southern Lebanon,” it said in a statement, referring to the Iran-backed movement in Lebanon.
