Hizbullah: We won't ignore massacre

Terror groups threaten to avenge what they refer to as 'Qana village massacre.' Iranian president says, 'US and Britain must pay the bill for the Zionist regime's crimes'

The Hizbullah organization threatened revenge following the Israel Defense Forces' air strike in the southern Lebanese village of Qana. According to sources in Lebanon, more than 50 people were killed in the bombing, including more than 20 children.

 

"We will not ignore the shocking massacre," the organization said in a statement.

 

Hamas also released a statement, according to which all possibilities are open for a Palestinian and Lebanese resistance following what was dubbed "the Qana village massacre."

 

 

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also joined the threats, saying that "the United States and Britain must pay the bill for the crimes of the Zionist regime, because they are partners in these crimes," the Fars news agency reported.

 

The Iranian president added that "this is a disgrace that will remain forever on the forehead of the Security Council, which did not agree to declare a ceasefire."

 

Ahmadinejad spoke at a ceremony honoring Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, who is visiting Tehran.

 

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi referred to the IDF's strike in the village of Qana, saying that "the only accomplishment of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's visit in the area is the Qana village massacre."

 

The Iranian news agency reported that according to Asefi, some of the senior Americans should be tried for the crimes committed in Lebanon.
