"The massacre committed by Israel in Qana this morning shows the barbarity of this aggressive entity. It constitutes state terrorism committed in front of the eyes and ears of the world," Assad said in remarks carried by state news agency SANA. It said Assad telephoned his Lebanese counterpart Emile Lahoud to express his shock. Syria, a main backer of Hizbollah, has been supplying electricity, fuel and humanitarian aid to Lebanon, whose infrastructure has been targeted by Israeli attacks. Syria has also received more than 150,000 Lebanese refugees since the war began on June 12. The United States and other Western governments accuse Iran and Syria of supporting the Hizbollah guerrillas in their fight against Israel.
