BEIRUT — The leader of Hezbollah said Monday that his militant group has the right to possess air-defense weapons to face the Israeli warplanes that regularly fly over Lebanon.
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, however, refused to confirm or deny persistent Israeli reports that Hezbollah may have acquired anti-aircraft missiles. He did say an air defense system would change the balance of power by shattering Israel’s air superiority after Hezbollah managed to withstand Israel’s air, ground and sea bombardment during their 2006 war.
