The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah is categorically denying Israeli claims about his group having factories to produce precision-guided missiles in Lebanon.
Hassan Nasrallah says such accusations by the Israeli prime minister were a "lie" and a "hanger" to justify Israeli aggression against Lebanon.
"We do not have factories to produce precision-guided missiles in Lebanon," Nasrallah said. His comments came in a speech to supporters Saturday night, a week after an alleged Israeli drone crashed on the roof of Hezbollah's media office in southern Beirut while another exploded and crashed nearby.
The Iranian-backed group said both drones were armed with explosives and were carrying out an attack mission.
Nasrallah reiterated his group's intention to retaliate, saying Israel "must pay a price" for its aggression.
Hezbollah has enough precision-guided missiles in Lebanon for any confrontation with Israel, he added.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said drones like the ones used in an attack in Beirut's suburbs, which he blames on Israel, open the door to assassinations if left unanswered.
