Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah said on Friday a US cruise missile strike on a Syrian airbase was an 'idiotic step' which would lead to 'great and dangerous tensions' in the Middle East. Hezbollah, which supports Syrian President Bashar Assad in the six-year-old conflict, said in a statement the strike would not demoralize the Syrian army or negatively affect its allies. The U.S. military action was a 'service' to Israel and its 'ambitions in the region,' Hezbollah added, without elaborating.
