Furthermore, Sheikh Qassem emphasized that Hezbollah has effectively contributed to thwart the enemy scheme in the region in general and in Syria in particular, stressing that he will continue to fight every where there is a Zionist project regardless of any obstacle.
“Hezbollah will continue jihad and will be where he should be regardless of obstacles ,” he said, stressing that “Israel will never succeed and it is too weak to impose new equation, and Hezbollah will be the victorious at the end of the day by the will of Allah.”
Commenting on latest security developments in Lebanon’s eastern region of Arsal, Sheikh Qassem reiterated Hezbollah stance about fighting takfiris in Lebanon, expressing that “Lebanese army martyrs of Arsal against takfiris are brothers of Hezbollah martyrs” who were killed in Quneitra, promising that “the unification of martyrs of Hezbollah and the army will change the equation in the region.”
