Hezbollah denies ‘fabricated’ Syria weapons seizure report

Published Updated

The media relations office of Hezbollah in Lebanon has strongly denied reports on the seizure of weapons by Syrian forces on the Syria-Iraq border, in an official statement carried by Iran’s Tasnim news agency, according to Al Jazeera.

Hezbollah calls the accusations “fabricated and baseless narratives aimed at tarnishing the image of the resistance movement”. The statement says the reports serve US and Israeli objectives in the region.
