Israel denies involvement in Hezbollah commander's death

Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor denied Israeli involvement in the killing of top Hezbollah commander Hussein al-Laqqis in Beirut.

"Israel has nothing to do with this incident," Palmor said. "These automatic accusations are an innate reflex with Hezbollah. They don't need evidence, they don't need facts, they just blame anything on Israel." (AP)
