Hezbollah condemned on Monday the government's decision to ban its military activities, while Israel carried out retaliatory strikes in response to rockets fired by the Iran-backed group.
In a statement, Mohammad Raad, the head of the group's parliamentary bloc, condemned Beirut's "swaggering decisions", saying that "the Lebanese were expecting a decision rejecting the (Israeli) aggression".
Media reports, earlier today, had said that Raad was killed in overnight strikes on Dahieh.
