Hizbullah to Army: When We Want to 'Give Gifts' We will Do it

Hizbullah insists that a truckload of ammunition, seized earlier this week by Lebanese authorities, be returned to the group.

"When we want to give gifts to the army we will do it, because the army is defending the border," Hizbullah MP Hassan Fadlallah told a news conference Friday.

He was referring to a statement by Defense Minister Elias Murr in which he said he would have liked to see Hizbullah offer the shipment to the Lebanese army which on Wednesday engaged in a shootout with Israeli troops on the tense Israel-Lebanon border.

Under a U.N. resolution that ended the July-Aug. war, Hizbullah is banned from rearming.(Naharnet-AP)
