Hezbollah MP says Israel 'demands war, and we are up for it'

A member of parliament from Lebanese armed group Hezbollah said on Wednesday that his group would be ready to fight a war with Israel, after an Israeli strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut targeted Hezbollah's top military commander.

Ali Ammar spoke to local broadcasters amid the ruins of Tuesday's strike.

"This enemy demands war and we are up for it, God willing, we are up for it," Ammar said.
