Hizbullah's Media Relations Office denied Sunday in a statement "March 14" (ruling bloc) claims about the existence of military points in the Sannine mountains.

"It seems that the forces of 'March 14' have resorted to the policy that distinguishes them in their rhetoric in the media that is based on: lie, lie, lie until people believe you. But the people know that they are lying and inciting," the statement read. does not believe, and know they are lying and inciting," Hizbullah said.

The statement added that "the accusations by the moguls of 'March 14' forces to Hizbullah of having military points in the mountains of Sannine and standing in the way of individuals, are unfounded." The statement was clearly pointing to former President Amine Gemayel who also head the Phalanges Party, who made the claims.

"They ought not cause tension with such delusions. They should have sought information from concerned security services on any incidents that may have occurred," the statement added.

The Hizbullah statement concluded by stating that the party puts "this fabricated lie" at the hands of security and judicial forces to expose these claims.
