A Hezbollah spokesman acknowledges that some of the group’s operatives were captured by the Israeli army without giving numbers, adding that Israel “bears responsibility” for their lives.
“On the issue of captives currently held by the enemy, I say: I know that the enemy is not committed to the ethics of war and international conventions but it bears the responsibility of preserving the lives of the captives,” spokesman Mohammed Afif tells reporters, calling on the International Committee of the Red Cross to ascertain their safety.
