Hezbollah and Safa denounce attack on UNIFIL

Senior Hezbollah official Wafiq Safa has denounced Friday's attack on UNIFIL near Beirut's airport during an angry protest by Hezbollah supporters.

Safa said "what happened with UNIFIL... is unacceptable."

"Hezbollah has nothing to do with this matter," he told Beirut-based pro-Iran broadcaster Al-Mayadeen.

Hezbollah also denounced the attack in an official statement on Sunday.

The party "stresses its categorical rejection of any attack" against UNIFIL and "also of any harm against public and private properties," it said.
