Lebanese Hezbollah denies arms smuggling allegations

Beirut, Sep 12 (Prensa Latina) Hezbollah denied "false accusations" in a media report released on Tuesday saying that party officials are smuggling weapons via Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport.

Speaking on behalf of party leaders, a Hezbollah representative told Al-Hadath TV in an interview earlier today: “We strongly condemn these cheap fabrications and false accusations and we also deplore the collusion of domestic Lebanese sides who worked on promoting these lies and turning them into judicial complaints against Hezbollah”.

“This fabricated uproar about the airport resembles the Israeli enemy and its constant talk about the airport’s use for military purposes,” Hezbollah said, warning that such accusations “represent a cover for any Israeli aggression that might target the airport and its facilities” he added.

The representative told Al-Hadath TV that such claims are aimed at holding Hezbollah responsible for any actions that might target the airport in the future and “to tarnish” the image of Lebanese security agencies.

He also said that all attempts to distort the image of Hezbollah will not affect the morale of the Lebanese people or their free will to “resist the occupation”.
