BEIRUT: Lebanon’s Hezbollah said on Tuesday that there will be no negotiations while fighting continues, and that it held Israel responsible for the wellbeing of the group’s fighters who had been captured.

“Hezbollah takes the full and sole responsibility for targeting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s house,” Mohammad Afif, the head of the group’ media office, told a press conference in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
