Dubai: Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah said on Wednesday that the militant Lebanese group would retain the right to defend itself if Israel attacked.
He was responding to a question from a reporter at Lebanese broadcaster Al-Jadeed about his reaction to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements on Tuesday that Israel retained military freedom of action and would strike the group if it violated a ceasefire deal that came into force on Wednesday morning.
