BEIRUT, May 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Lebanon's guerrilla group Hezbollah (Party of God) said Wednesday it possessed more than 12,000 rockets that "all of northern Israel is within reach".

    Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah made the announcement while addressing a crowd of tens of thousands of supporters in Bint-Jbeil, a Shiite town near the Israeli border, to mark the fifth anniversary of the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon, reports reaching here from the town said.

    Nasrallah told his supporters that "some people think we have 12,000 rockets, Katyushas or other ones. I tell you, we have more than 12,000."

    "The whole of the north of occupied Palestine as well as its settlements, airports, fields and farms are within the firing range of the fighters of the Islamic resistance," he added. Enditem
