Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said that its ally, Hezbollah, is Lebanon’s best defence against Israel.
Khamenei’s said this while reacting to Hezbollah’s confirmation of the death of Hashem Safieddine, who had been expected to lead the movement after the death of Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday.
It will be recalled that Israel since September 23 has launched a series of strikes against Hezbollah, especially around the capital Beirut, and has launched ground operations into southern Lebanon.
Reports say that at least 1,552 people have been killed in the country, while the United Nation says that 800,000 have been displaced.
