Lebanon should integrate Hezbollah militarily: Interior minister

‘The Lebanese interior minister says Lebanon should integrate the resistance movement of Hezbollah’s armed strength in its military strategy.
“The defense strategy should determine how to benefit from Hezbollah’s arms, to fend off any [future] Israeli aggression,” Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk told the Egyptian satellite channel Capital Broadcast Center on Thursday, according to Lebanese paper The Daily Star.
The military wing of the Hezbollah movement defended Lebanon against Israeli wars in 2000 and 2006, forcing the regime’s military into withdrawal.
Machnouk said Hezbollah’s military strength had to be discussed in the context of “the tactical planning of Lebanon’s defense strategy.”’
