Hezbollah says Israeli raid against Syria reveals hidden motives
(01-31 17:06)
The Israeli air strike on Syria has “unmasked’’ the true origins of the bloody conflict in the country, its closest ally in Lebanon, Hezbollah, said.
The Shiite militant group, an arch foe of Israel, said yesterday's attack “fully unmasked what has been happening in Syria over the past two years and the criminal objectives of destroying this country and weakening its army.’’
Hezbollah, in a statement, said it “forcefully condemns this new Zionist aggression against Syria,’’ in what was the first such Israeli strike since a deadly anti-regime revolt broke out in March 2011, AFP reports.
The attack unveiled Israel's policy of preventing “Arab and Muslim forces from boosting their military and technological capacities,’’ it said.
The Syrian army said an Israeli strike targeted a “scientific research center’’ near Damascus, with local residents telling AFP it was a non-conventional weapons research center.
Israel remained tightlipped over the air strike reports.
