Hezbollah says Israeli raid violated Lebanese sovereignty and international law

The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah on Thursday condemned Israel’s overnight incursion into the village of Blida, saying it "violated Lebanon’s sovereignty as well as international law".

The group in a statement said that the victim, a municipal employee, was sleeping when he was shot dead by Israeli forces.

“Hezbollah strongly condemns this new Israeli crime, which came directly after the visit of the American envoy to Lebanon,” Hezbollah’s statement said.
