Arsal Captives Video Footage: 'We Will Pay Price if Qalamoun Front Ignites'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Arsal soldiers kidnapped by al-Nusra Front stated anxiously via a video footage circulated by the militants on Tuesday, that they will be executed if Syria's Qalamoun front was waged.

“If the Lebanese army and Hizbullah were dragged into a battle in Qalamoun, we will be the ones to pay the price,” one of the soldiers said.

“The army and Hizbullah are involving themselves in matters not of their concern.”

They voiced fears that negotiations to free them are not serious nor honest and said: “General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim is lying to the families of the soldiers.

“Where is the proof that we will be released in 10 days?” they inquired.

They called on the Shiite community to confront Hizbullah, saying “We call on our Shiite families to stand in the face of Hizbullah.”

Earlier, al-Nusra Front has warned the Lebanese government that it will kill all military servicemen in its custody, if the Lebanese army continues to shell its positions on the outskirts of Arsal, the daily An Nahar reported.

Al-Nusra dispatched the message through a mediator from the Lebanese army, saying “if shelling on the outskirts of Arsal continues, we will kill the soldiers one after another.”

The Lebanese army continues to target terrorists in Bekaa's town of Arsal bordering Syria.

In August 2014, the area has witnessed extensive clashes between the army, the Islamic State and al-Nusra Front killing 20 soldiers, 16 civilians and scores of militants.

Moreover, more than 25 soldiers have been taken hostage by the militants. The Islamic State beheaded two soldiers while al-Nusra executed another two.

To free the soldiers, al-Nusra demands an exchange with Islamic inmates at Roumieh prison.

These are the people March 14 alliance holds their hands over in protection. I feel bad for the LAF, being a punching bag, while theie own hands are being tied by M14 traitors.

Thumb EagleDawn 05 May 2015, 10:41

i noticed lately you have been very edgy and seething with anger and hatred! Does it have to do with the losses your huthis in Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen have been incurring.?

Thumb ex-fpm 05 May 2015, 10:44

In a country that respects itself, a sectarian militia is not allowed to mass troops, tanks, and men and go fight in another country. I guess respect is also relative....

Thumb _mowaten_ 05 May 2015, 11:06

Really? So France didnt respect itself when the Maquis resisted nazis? You have no idea what respect is you troll, you think it means bending over to whoever shakes a stick over your head, be it a takfiri or their israeli fathers, so please step aside while the real patriots, be it in the army or the resistance, whoop some dirty apes behinds.

Thumb ashtah 05 May 2015, 11:14

was the french resistance made up of only shias? Again France was occupied and your knowledge of history leaves a lot to be desired. Your militia is the one occupying another country and again your comparisons are weak and baseless. By the way, tone it down as it is not good for your ailing health.

lol, mowaten you sound like an immature kid completely disconnected from reality, just trying to build some silly rationale based on bits & pieces of propaganda and lies.

are you serious?!!! so how come only shia members of hezbollah die in Syria and Iraq. Perhaps you are referring to the resistance brigades that are hired thugs who intimidate people in inner cities and you consider them "resistance".:)

Thumb Mystic 05 May 2015, 11:49

marcus, sects doesn't matter in the resistance. Everyone willing to fight against zionism and wahabi takfiris are welcome.

Thanks for proving once again you're not Lebanese, because any Lebanese would be angry reading the above news. Yet you come and troll around and gloat like the dirty israeli you are, not giving a damn about the Lebanese soldiers being held hostage.

What are you babbling about? Wahabis only managed to murder unarmed civilians mostly. Now look at this, news you wahabis don't know about.

Hizbullah went to Syria without any regard to Lebanon's constitution, parliament, or people. It massacred Syrian people based on age old sectarian hate and guided by a not so supreme leader in Iran. It dragged the LAF into this mess. Its yet to begin "battle of all battles" soon to be announced by sayyed al mokawameh will drag us even further into this swamp.

Thumb _mowaten_ 05 May 2015, 11:02

Yea? And who do you blame for Maaloula, Kobbane, Mossoul, Sinjar...? The "blame hezbollah for the weather" card doesnt work there, does it?

Thumb _mowaten_ 05 May 2015, 11:08

Too dimwitted to get the point I see... Not surprising.

Thumb ashtah 05 May 2015, 11:11

your comparison is irrelevant and typical of your ilk. The war in Iraq has been sectarian for many years and ever since your Malki came to power. That does not give your militia the right to go fight a religious sectarian war in another country. Did your militia go to Syria/Iraq to protect the Yazidis or Kobane, etc.? Your boss who calls himself the resistance said he went to war to protect shias in Syria and finally to protect the regime. He could care less about minorities. So your usual CD is an old one that has no audience. Good luck next time...

Thumb _mowaten_ 05 May 2015, 11:26

Another dimwit... it's like they inbreed and multiply! The point was that these animals you support do not care what you are or what you did or did not do, they only want to slaughter everybody they can get their hands on (except israelis). If given the chance they would have taken over part of Lebanon one after the other. All lebanese know this and are glad we have both the army and hezbollah fighting the apes and keeping them out.

Thumb EagleDawn 05 May 2015, 11:35

lol mowaten, you have some serious inferiority complex issues, always barking pointlessly and trying to convince yourself that everybody is stupid and you're the smart one, yet you were never able to make an articulate argument or point. The best you ever do is call names, yell a few read-made lines you heard daddy say, and add "HAHAHAHA" before or after it as if this makes them facts. Habibi, if you want to make a point be a big boy and provide supporting sources yourself, or ask your daddy where it came from

Thumb EagleDawn 05 May 2015, 11:39

Mystic, do you still believe your terror party is lying when it admits the death of 6 of its iranian terrorists in Latikia and Qalamoun?

Are you still denying your wahabi masters countless losses in Yemen? I deny your question, because I never heard of it in any other media than here.

keep up with the stupid questions parrotdown, just like your jafaar_abliss guest character supported by Naharnet.

Mystic take a look at these terrorists life size posters and tell me if they are photoshop'ed and whether their funerals were fake and paid for by the tariffs:)

What point are you trying to make eagleyawn? Confirming what we've been telling you for years?
Yes, Hezbollah is proud of its martyrs and honors them.

Thumb Mystic 05 May 2015, 12:05

Orient news ya zalame, even worse than Naharnet. I might aswell be watching Tom & Jerry that is how amusing it is.
There is people dying everyday in Syria, those people might be in newly formed syrian resistance brigades, not from Lebanon. Even so all those martyrs fighting the takfiris deserves great respect, be they the Syrian army, LAF, Iraqi, yemeni or Iranians.

Hezbollah are Nusras greatest enemy by the way.

Thumb barrymore 05 May 2015, 12:23

both of you go spread your propaganda on manar and spare us the insults and distortions. Lebanon's problems are a result of your unilateral iranian schemes that dragged Lebanon and the LAF into regional conflicts. You come here crying and talking about honor and when you people need education volumes in honor and patriotism.

Missing humble 05 May 2015, 12:45

You always accuse others of what you are. This doesn't work.
You are carrying the arms.
You are calling for violence and wars.
You are dividing the country and spreading hatred.

We are being submitted to your wrongdoing and you want us to shut our mouth and accept your totalitarianism.

Thumb Mystic 05 May 2015, 13:01

Only one I see crying are you guys barry, whining about the Resistance going to Syria. Tell all that LF, Mostaqbal crap to the unarmed Yazidis of Iraq. You expect those takfiris to leave Lebanon alone? Maybe Hariri can throw them a few bucks to hold them back. The Resistance will not stand and look on the country being invaded.
