Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem said on Sunday that the presence of the resistance movement in Syria is aimed at stopping the spillover of violence into neighboring Lebanon.
He said Israel is supporting the foreign-backed militants.
“We will continue our work and remain in the field committed to our political stances. We will remain fighting where we are fighting. We are a resistance wherever we are: a resistance against Israel and its agents and a resistance fighting in Syria in defense of the resistance,”? he said.
The Hezbollah official condemned the terrorist attacks by the al-Qaeda-linked groups in Lebanon and called on Hezbollah’s supporters to stay strong against such threats.
He also said that the attacks targeted two sides, namely, the “resistance’s environment with its children, men, women and neighborhoods, and the Lebanese Army, which is confronting their (the terrorists’) project.”?
“This war they are waging against us requires sacrifices and we are working with all our might to lessen its repercussions and pains,”? he added.
Lebanon has been embroiled in a string of deadly bomb attacks in recent months. Many view the violence as a spillover of the conflict in neighboring Syria.
The terrorist groups of the al-Nusra Front and the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) operating in Syria have claimed responsibility for a number of the bombings in Lebanon.
In May 2013, Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said that the group’s members were involved in the conflict in Syria along with Syrian government forces to prevent the rise of “Western-backed takfiri forces,” which threaten Lebanon and the resistance movement.
