Israel seeking to justify another aggression against Lebanon: FM Bassil
2018-10-02
[PRESSTV] Leb’s Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil says Israel is seeking to "justify another aggression" against his country after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made "false allegations" against the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah that it has purportedly built missile sites in the midst of civilian districts of Beirut.

During his speech at the 73rd annual session of the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
General Assembly in New York on Thursday, the Israeli premier alleged that Hezbollah had built "three" clandestine missile storage facilities "along Beirut’s [Rafic Hariri] International Airport", showing some pictures of the so-called sites.

On Monday, the Lebanese top diplomat, however, harshly lambasted Netanyahu’s fresh allegations, saying that what he had claimed were "based on inaccurate information."

Bassil added that Netanyahu’s allegations were supported by no "evidence" whatsoever, and that showing some pictures "does not contain any proof." The resistance movement "has missiles but they are not near the airport", he further noted.

The Lebanese foreign minister also stressed that his country has "the legitimate right to resist until the liberation of all the occupied territories" from Israeli occupation, referring to Leb’s Shebaa Farms, which were occupied by the Israeli regime during its full-scale war against Arab territories in 1967.
