| Hizbullah Denies Report Changes in Rules of Engagement with Israel |
| 2015-01-23 |
| [AnNahar] Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... denied on Thursday media reports about "changes in the rules of engagement with Israel" after last Sunday's Quneitra raid which killed six members of the group, while also denying that its response will happen outside Lebanese territory. "We deny the claims that were attributed to a so-called source who is close to the party about the situation in the region," the party said in statement, dismissing a report by the Rooters news agency. The agency had earlier quoted an alleged "security source close to Hizbullah" as saying that "the enemy has approached the red lines regarding the security conflict with Hizbullah, and the rules of the game have changed." The same source noted that "if Hizbullah does not respond to the raid, it will appear as if it's drowning in the quagmire of Syria's conflict and has lost its ability to respond, which is not true." "Until now, the rule of the game has been responding from outside Leb, unless the Israelis pushed the war into Leb," he added. He also stressed that "Hizbullah wants to avoid an all-out war." In light of the report, Hizbullah reminded in its statement of its "firm media policy which does not rely on 'sources' to announce stances." "The report does not concern us at all," the statement added. |
