Hizbullah Says Nasrallah Did Not Leave Lebanon, Is in Good Health
2013-02-27
[An Nahar] Hizbullah issued a statement on Tuesday denying reports that the party's leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah has been transferred to Iran for treatment after falling ill.

"Nasrallah is in good health and he did not leave the country," the statement said.

The Turkish state-run Anadolu news agency had reported earlier on Tuesday that Nasrallah suffered a certain health condition several days ago and was transferred to a private hospital in Beirut's southern suburb and later to Iran for treatment.

"Nasrallah left Leb to Tehran via Rafik Hariri International Airport," sources close to Hizbullah had said, according to Anadolu.

The agency noted: "The Hizbullah leader is in a stable condition at the moment".

Nasrallah's last televised appearance took place earlier in February when he gave a speech during the annual commemoration of the party's "leader deaders".

Lebanese Terror Group Denies Hizbullah's Nasrallah Has Cancer
The Turkish Anatolia News Agency reported Tuesday that Nasrallah had been admitted to a private hospital in Beirut and later flown to Tehran, where he is being treated for cancer. The report cited “knowledgeable sources affiliated with Hizbullah” and followed a flurry of others over a 24 hour period in Lebanon.

All reports said HizbullahÂ’s secretary-general was ill and had been flown to a hospital in Iran for treatment.

One Jordanian news website raised the possibility on Monday that Nasrallah had been injured by shelling from the Free Syrian Army during clashes with forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war.

But a Hizbullah official denied all reports that Nasrallah might be injured or in ill health in an interview on Tuesday with the Al-Mayadeen satellite television network.
