(The Guardian) Lebanon bans Hezbollah military actions
Lebanon’s government has taken the unprecedented step of banning Hezbollah’s military and security activity, prompting the Iran-backed group to lash out at the decision.
The Lebanese prime minister, Nawaf Salam, was quoted by AFP as saying after an emergency cabinet meeting on Monday: The Lebanese state declares its absolute and unequivocal rejection of any military or security actions launched from Lebanese territory outside the framework of its legitimate institutions. This necessitates the immediate prohibition of all of Hezbollah’s security and military activities, considering them to be outside the law, and obliging it to hand over its weapons.
Hezbollah is represented in both the government and parliament, and the government’s move came hours after the Iran-backed militant group said it had attacked Israel early on Monday to avenge the killing of Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
In response Israel began bombarding Beirut’s southern suburbs and southern Lebanon, killing at least 52 people and wounded 154, according to the Lebanese government.
In response to the government’s ban, the head of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, Mohammed Raad, condemned Beirut’s “rash decisions”, saying that “the Lebanese were expecting a decision rejecting the [Israeli] aggression”.
