Nasrallah sez Hezbollah has Legitimate Right™ to possess air defenses
The leader of Hezbollah said Monday that his militant group has the Legitimate Right™ to possess air-defense weapons to face the Israeli warplanes that regularly fly over Lebanon.

Nasrallah spoke from under his bed via a video link to a rally commemorating last year's assassination of Hezbollah's top military commander, Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed by a car bomb in Syria.

Nasrallah said Israeli media report occasionally that Hezbollah has acquired sophisticated air defense missiles. "I will not deny or confirm" the reports, Nasrallah said, but added that such weapons would weaken Israeli air power and change the region's power equation. "What I want to confirm today is that we have the full Legitimate Right™ to possess any weapons, including air defense weapons. Also, we have the full Legitimate Right™ to use this weapon if we want," he said.
