“According to our assessments, Hezbollah, including the military wing, has not lost its chain of command and is demonstrating organization,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova tells reporters.
Zakharova blames the West, in particular the United States and Britain, for stoking the conflict in the Middle East and showing hypocrisy by its support for Israel.
Russia also scolds Israel for a strike on Syria attributed to but not claimed by the Jewish state.
“Once again, Israel has grossly violated the sovereignty of Syria by launching a missile attack on a multi-story apartment building in a densely populated area of Damascus,” Zakharova says.

In an hours-long security meeting at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv last night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to key decisions — along with his top ministers, security and military officials — about the impending Israeli attack on Iran, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
For now, says the source, the focus is on Iranian military facilities, but that could change.
Iran launched around 200 ballistic missiles last week, and Israel is expected to respond forcefully.
Officials tell the Kan public broadcaster that the meeting was “a decisive discussion about the Iranian issue.”
The next stage is a call between US President Joe Biden and Netanyahu later today.
