FM: Lebanese govt. has guarantees Hezbollah won't join war
|
[NAHARNET] The Lebanese government has been promised that Hezbollah will not intervene in the Hamas
 ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
-Israel war, caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said.
The minister told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper, in remarks published Monday, that Hezbollah would only intervene if Israel started the war.
The interview took place in Washington before Hezbollah carried out an attack Sunday "in solidarity" with Hamas, which launched a surprise assault on Israel the day before. Hezbollah fired on Israeli positions in the contested Shebaa Farms border area and Israel retaliated and warned Hezbollah against getting involved in the fight on its southern flank with Hamas.
On Monday, caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati stressed that the government's priority is to maintain security in south Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

The PM met with Bou Habib and the latter said after the meeting that "we do not want Lebanon to join the fray and we are trying to avoid that."
The Israeli army said Monday it has "killed a number of armed suspects" who crossed the border from Lebanon. "Additionally, Israeli helicopters are currently striking in the area," the army added.
Media outlets said the infiltrators are Paleostinians after prior reports claimed they were members of Hezbollah. Only minutes later, Hezbollah denied involvement.
It said the resistance has neither clashed with the Israeli enemy nor attempted any infiltration into Israel.
