Hezbollah rejects French daily claims on Oct. 7 Al-Aqsa Storm Operation

The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has categorically dismissed claims by a French daily newspaper that the group was already informed of the large-scale surprise attack by members of Hamas and other Gaza-based resistance fighters against Israel in early October.

Hezbollah’s media bureau in a statement late on Friday described Le Figaro‘s allegations as “purely fictitious” and “baseless.”

The movement noted that such claims “are meant to undermine the absolute trust among resistance movements and factions across the region,” emphasizing, “These groups are committed openly and practically to resistance against the Zionist occupation.”

Hezbollah reiterated its Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s previous remarks that Al-Aqsa Storm Operation was purely Palestinian, and its objectives, planning, preparations as well as execution were all set and carried out by Palestinians themselves without external involvement.

The Lebanese resistance movement emphasized it did not know of the Palestinian operation beforehand.
