Hizbollah vows to keep arms

By: Karim Tellawi

BINT JBEIL, Lebanon: Lebanese Hizbollah, under growing international pressure to disarm, has declared its stockpile of deterrent rockets would strike anywhere in northern Israel if anyone tried to take them away.

Addressing supporters on Wednesday marking the fifth anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon, Hizbollah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrollah said: “Any hand that reaches out to our weapons is an Israeli hand that will be cut off.”

“We do not want to attack anyone and will not allow anyone to attack Lebanon, but if anyone, anyone, thinks of disarming the resistance, we will fight them like the martyrs of Karbala,” he said.
Nasrollah said that the group's arsenal of 12,000 rockets had created a “balance of terror” with Israel.
Druze leader Walid Jumblatt also spoke at the rally defending Hizbollah's right to keep arms.

Jumblatt recently forged an alliance with Hizbollah in Mount Lebanon for the crucial parliamentary elections, due to kick off this Sunday.
