Hezbollah MP Raad condemns govt decision to ban military activities

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.
