A high-ranked Hizbullah official confirmed to As-Safir newspaper that Hizbullah considers its self provoked in what the investigation commission of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) has triggered.

The Hizbullah source added that the STL's course of investigations is being set based on "Israeli" and US wills, which according to the source, led Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to deliver a speech in which he called for boycotting the STL, especially that it seeks the issuance of the indictment against Hizbullah.

In this context, the high ranked Hizbullah official said that the STL investigators misinterpreted and provoked Hizbullah, and thus got themselves and the US into trouble with Lebanon.

The source referred to His Eminence Sayyed Hassan's speech, reminding that Hizbullah will do its duty in this context to help Lebanon through any crisis facing it.
