Hezbollah rejects Israeli claims of invading southern Lebanon
BEIRUT (AA) — Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah has rejected Israeli claims about invading southern Lebanon and engaging in direct clashes with its fighters.
“Israeli claims about invading Lebanon are lies,” Hezbollah spokesman Mohammad Afif said in a statement.
“There were no direct clashes between Hezbollah fighters and Israeli occupation forces,” he added.
The Israeli army had said that it had launched “limited and targeted” ground operations in southern Lebanon.
“We are ready for direct clashes with the (Israeli) enemy forces that dare or try to enter the Lebanese territories,” Afif said.
Since September 23, Israel has launched massive airstrikes against what it calls ‘Hezbollah across Lebanon, killing more than 1,057 people inclusion children and women, and injuring over 2,950 others, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
Several Hezbollah leaders have been killed in the assault, including its leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Hezbollah, headquartered in Lebanon, has been under attack from Israel since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed nearly 41,600 people, most of them women and children, since last October.
