Lebanon’s Aoun slams Israeli claim about Hezbollah missile sites as ‘baseless’
Lebanon’s President Michel Aoun rejects Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s charge last week that Hezbollah was hiding missile sites near civilian areas in Beirut, including a soccer stadium, the harbor and the city’s Rafic Hariri International Airport.
“Allegations of Netanyahu about military bases around the airport’s vicinity are baseless and conceal an Israeli threat to Lebanese sovereignty,” Aoun is quoted as saying by the Lebanese website Naharnet.
Aoun promises to “confront any Israeli aggression against its sovereignty.”
