Lebanon reportedly warns Hezbollah against joining Iran-Israel confrontation
by Naharnet Newsdesk 9 hours The Lebanese Army has communicated with Hezbollah as part of 'holding onto the Lebanese principles and refusing that Lebanon be dragged into any confrontation,' governmental sources told Al-Jadeed TV, after Israel launched a massive attack on Iran. 'The government stressed that the decision of war and peace is exclusively in the hand of the Lebanese state,' the sources added. Lebanese officials meanwhile told Al-Arabiya's Al-Hadath channel that 'Hezbollah has been informed that anyone who drags Lebanon into any confrontation that it has nothing to do with will be held responsible.' 'Lebanon told Hezbollah that the era of bypassing the state in declaring war has ended,' the sources added. 'Lebanon informed Hezbollah of its condemnation of the Israeli attack but that it will not allow that the country be entangled in any response,' the sources said. A Hezbollah official later told Reuters that the Iran-backed group will not unilaterally launch an attack on Israel in support of Tehran. 'Hezbollah will not initiate its own attack on Israel in retaliation for Israel's strikes,' the official said.
