Russia on Friday rejected an Israeli claim that the Lebanese guerrilla group Hizbollah used Russian-made rockets that had been sold to Syria.
Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper on Thursday quoted Israeli Maj. Gen. Aharon Zeevi-Farkash, the head of army intelligence, as saying Hezbollah had used Russian-made rocket-propelled grenades purchased by Syria in two recent cross-border attacks into Israel. "There are not and cannot be any grounds for this," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said in a statement Friday.
"The system we have created for control of weapons exports is one of the strictest and most reliable," he said, adding that the system would not allow Russian weapons to reach unintended recipients.
And pigs fly.
