Hezbollah MP says group has 'full right' to confront Israeli attacks

W300

Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah on Saturday said his group had the right to respond to Israeli attacks, as Israel kept up strikes on Lebanon despite a new ceasefire announced a day earlier.

"There is talk of a ceasefire. For us, what concerns us is that the enemy fully and comprehensively respects the ceasefire, and doesn't attempt to attack our country and villages or seek to occupy any new position," Fadlallah said in a statement, adding that "the resistance has the full right to confront this enemy when it attacks us, as it is the aggressor and the occupier".

I don't know why, but I respect this lawmaker.

Perhaps this MP of the terrorist organisation should understand that the only armed forces operating in the name of the Republic are LAF and all others are undermining the authority of the state.

That is the whole point, Hassan: neither you nor "the group" have any right to respond in any way more than mere words. Every other response is treason.

Arrest and detain Fadlallah along with Raad, Qmati, Qassem pending trial for treason and sedition.
