August 10, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Hezbollah's Hariri accusations are ridiculous, Israel says

Israel on Tuesday dismissed as ridiculous Hezbollah claims to have acquired Israeli footage implicating the Jewish State in the murder of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, AFP reported.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday unveiled footage allegedly intercepted from Israeli surveillance planes of the site where Rafik Hariri was killed on February 14, 2005.

"Everyone in the world knows, even the Lebanese, that Nasrallah's accusations are ridiculous," said a senior Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

It is clear that the accusations were "coming from the pressure on [Nasrallah] over the international community's suspicions about Hezbollah's involvement in Hariri's murder," he added.

Media outlets have reported that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) will indict Hezbollah members for the 2005 assassination of Rafik Hariri.
