Hizbullah on Friday termed Thursday's helicopter incident "regretful and painful" and pledged to cooperate with the Lebanese army. In a statement issued by the Shiite group, it said judicial authorities are dealing with the issue.
Hizbullah stressed it would "fully cooperate with our dear brethren in the Lebanese army and with judicial sides so that the truth is uncovered."
There was unanimity Friday that Hizbullah was behind the gunfire attack on the helicopter that killed an officer over Sojod hills in south Lebanon.
A Lebanese army communiqué, however, has said that a Lebanese army helicopter came under gunfire from unidentified "armed members."
