Hizbollah Condemns Al-Qaa Blasts

Condemning the terrorist attacks, Hezbollah said that this crime, which claimed scores of innocent civilians, is a new product of the terrorist, obscurantist ideology which is plaguing the region and posing a serious danger against its people.

In a statement following the morning blasts, Hezbollah offered deep condolences to the martyrs’ families and hoped for a speedy recovery of the wounded. 

This ideology also threatens Lebanon and its people from all the areas, sects and affiliations without discrimination, according to the statement which added that the crime results from a secret and overt support provided by some countries and entities in the region and the world to those murderous terrorists, according to al-Manar TV website.

Those countries provide the terrorist groups with weaponry, equipment, media support, moral embrace and political protection, the statement pointed out.

Hezbollah stressed that this takfiri ideology must be fought forcefully, detected and exposed in order to frustrate its plans and block its expansion as well as pervasion.

This contradicts with what is done by some Lebanese politicians and their entourage whose misleading stances conceal the malevolent ideas of the terrorists and justify their atrocities, Hezbollah noted.
