Hezbollah says Israeli strike on Syria 'mistake'
None
The leader of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group says an Israeli airstrike on an air base in central Syria that killed seven Iranians is a "historic mistake."
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah says Monday's attack on the T4 air base ushers in a new phase that puts Israel in a state of "direct confrontation" with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Iran, Russia and Syria have blamed Israel for the airstrike, which followed a suspected chemical attack on a rebel-held town near Damascus that was blamed by Western powers on the Syrian government. Israel has not acknowledged carrying out the strike.
Nasrallah said the "targeted killing" of Iranians was an act of "grave foolishness."
Speaking via satellite link to supporters in Beirut Friday, Nasrallah also called the alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma "theater."
