BEIRUT (Reuters) -Lebanon’s Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said on Friday the group has the right to respond to Israel’s killing of senior commander Haytham Ali Tabtabai and will “set the timing” for any retaliation.
In a televised speech, Qassem described the Israeli strike that killed Tabtabai and several others as “a blatant aggression.”
