Beirut  - The leader of the Hezbollah Shiite movement, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, said late Monday that his group had the right to possess an air defence system to confront what he called the daily Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace.

"What I want to confirm today is that we have every right to obtain any weapon, including air defence weapons, and we have every right to use them," Nasrallah said at a rally in Beirut's southern suburbs to commemorate the first anniversary of the group's military leader Imad Mughaniyeh.

Beirut  - The leader of the Lebanese Shiite movement Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said Friday his movement is ready for whatever it takes to implement peace and stability in Beirut, but ruled out new alliances with the anti-Syrian majority.

"Reconciliation doesn't mean building new alliances," Nasrallah said in a speech to mark Jerusalem Day in a rally in Beirut's southern suburbs.

Beirut  - The chief of Lebanon's Shiite movement Hezbollah, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, Thursday warned Israel against any attempt to assassinate members of his group.

"The resistance is aware of Israeli plans to assassinate and kill leaders in Hezbollah, but this would not hold us back," Nasrallah said, during a televised speech to mark two years of what he described as a "divine victory" against Israel in the July 2006 war.
