Hezbollah leader admits support for Hamas in Gaza
14.05.2009
A high-ranking Hezbollah official has told the 'Financial Times' that his organization had been providing Palestinians in Gaza with "every type of support" that was possible. Sheik Naim Qassem, deputy secretary-general of the Lebanese group and number two in the hierarchy after Sheik Nasrallah, said: "We have always said that we supported the resistance in Palestine but we have not mentioned how or given details of such support, but Egypt has now revealed that we have given military support to Palestine. We have done so for a while but we have not talked about it."
Last month Egypt said it had arrested 49 men suspected of being part of a Hezbollah cell, which it said was planning to attack Egyptian institutions and Israeli tourists. Hezbollah admitted that one of the men was a member of its movement but said he was on a "logistical mission" related to the Gaza Strip.
