Qassem rejects any Israeli security zone in Lebanon

W300

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Sunday rejected any Israeli security zone in Lebanon, after Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed his troops would remain in the country's south for as long as necessary.

Israeli troops "remaining on Lebanese land is impossible. There are no security zones for Israel... we have a national army which deploys, and it is responsible for preserving sovereignty, and it is who we cooperate with," Qassem said in a televised address, adding that "Israel is an aggressor and must leave."

Lebanon did not start the war. The LAF did not fire a single shot at the Israeli forces. The shooting began with Hizballah, as always.
