Top Hezbollah commander: We're stronger, ready for war
By The Associated Press and Haaretz Service
Tags: Hezbollah, Lebanon, Terrorism 

A senior Hezbollah commander told the U.K. Telegraph on Friday that the Lebanon-based militia is now stronger than before, and that though it does not seek war with Israel, it is prepared for a military confrontation.

Sheikh Nabil Kaouk, who commands Hezbollah's forces on Lebanon's border with Israel, was quoted as saying "the resistance is now stronger than before and this keeps the option of war awake."

"If we were weak, Israel would not hesitate to start another war," Kaouk added. "We are stronger than before and when Hezbollah is strong, our strength stops Israel from starting a new war."

Kaouk also said that Hezbollah is proud of its relationship with Syria and Iran, but declined to comment on whether the two countries supply Hezbollah's arms.

Meanwhile, Lebanese political factions reached a compromise on Hezbollah's arsenal, the country's information minister said Friday, releasing a vaguely worded draft statement that implies the militant group can keep its weapons.

The position paper must now be approved by Parliament, whose vote will decide whether to accept a unity government that includes Hezbollah. The new cabinet was formed after Hezbollah gunmen routed armed supporters of the previous pro-Western administration earlier this year.

Hezbollah's arms have long been a point of dispute, with many legislators in the Western-backed majority in Parliament attempting to disarm the group. Hezbollah rejects the demand, and it will hold veto power in the new government.

The draft statement announced by Information Minister Tarek Mitri is deliberately vague, saying only that the committee agreed on the right of Lebanon's people, the army and the resistance to liberate all its territories.

Resistance is Lebanon's jargon for Hezbollah, which is admired by many in Lebanon for its stand against Israel. All territories alludes to Lebanon's territorial claim on the Shaba Farms area that Israel captured from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War.

After Lebanon's 1975-90 civil war, an order was issued stipulating the dissolution of all militias. Hezbollah fighters, however, were allowed to keep their weapons because they were considered a resistance group fighting Israeli troops that occupied part of southern Lebanon until 2000.

Many officials in the pro-Western bloc had argued that statement should not include the word resistance and that it should make liberating the occupied lands solely the national army's responsibility. But Hezbollah and its allies strongly opposed those demands.

Lebanon has been rife with tensions as the pro-Western Prime Minister Fuad Siniora has struggled to form the national unity government in which Hezbollah will have veto power in all government decisions.

The Hezbollah-led opposition won the concession in May as part of an Arab-brokered deal to end months of political stalemate that had escalated into violence and raised fears Lebanon's sectarian factions could plunge into a new civil war.

Before the agreement, 81 people died and more than 200 were wounded as Hezbollah militants and their allies battled supporters of Siniora's government in Beirut and other cities. Sectarian violence since the deal has killed 29 people.
