Nasrallah Says 'Security under Control': We Won't Allow Displacement of Qaa Residents

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah reassured Friday that the security situation in Lebanon is “under control” after security fears engulfed the country in the wake of unprecedented suicide attacks in the eastern border town of al-Qaa and amid a flurry of media reports about possible terrorist attacks in the country.

“Through the ongoing security investigations, I believe that some people will know the identity of the handler who sent the suicide bombers to al-Qaa,” said Nasrallah during a speech marking Quds Day.

“All indications suggest that the suicide bombers did not come from the refugee encampments (around al-Qaa) but rather from the posts of Daesh (Islamic State group) in the outskirts of (the nearby border town of) Arsal,” Nasrallah added.

Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq had on Wednesday also announced that the bombers did not come from the encampments but rather from “Raqa,” the de facto Syrian capital of the IS group.

Addressing Hizbullah's critics who argue that the party's involvement in the Syrian war has led to terrorist attacks inside Lebanon, Nasrallah noted that suspected IS militants have staged a spectacular attack on Istanbul's airport in recent days although Turkey “has not fought the IS.”

“Turkey has kept it border open for the crossing of thousands of militants. The problem lies in the ideology of the IS, al-Qaida and al-Nusra Front, which is the same Wahhabi ideology that is present in Saudi Arabia,” Nasrallah added.

“Had it not been for our preemptive war, you would have witnessed eight suicide bombers everyday in the various Lebanese towns and villages … Had it not been for the efforts of the army and the security agencies and Hizbullah's preemptive war, we would have found monsters on our border and we would not have managed to repel them,” he said.

Commenting on the security fears in the country, Nasrallah said the Lebanese “must not let anyone scare them about a possible collapse of the security situation in Lebanon.”

“The security situation is under control and I call on the Lebanese and all the people of the region to place their confidence in the Lebanese security forces and agencies,” he stated.

“A breach occurred in al-Qaa but nothing can be 100% guaranteed. Look at what happened in Turkey, France, Belgium, the US and Russia. Had we continued the preemptive war in the border region, al-Qaa's attack would not have happened, but everyone knows the political situation in Lebanon and how things are being run,” Nasrallah lamented.

And calling for an “official, national anti-terror strategy,” Nasrallah vowed that Hizbullah will not allow the IS to “displace the residents of al-Qaa.”

“Al-Qaa is like Hermel and all of Bekaa's residents are our people. We are neighbors and we won't allow that al-Qaa's residents be displaced. We will protect you 'with our eyes' and this is a national, ethical, human and religious commitment,” he pledged.

Four suicide bombings rocked al-Qaa on Monday evening, injuring eight people, only hours after four suicide bombers killed five people and wounded 15 others in the town before dawn.

Al-Qaa and the nearby Ras Baalbek are the only two towns with a Christian majority in the predominantly Shiite Hermel region, where Hizbullah holds sway.

The group has sent thousands of its fighters to Syria to bolster President Bashar Assad's forces against rebels and jihadist extremists trying to topple him.

Several deadly bombings have targeted Hizbullah's strongholds in the eastern Bekaa region and Beirut's southern suburbs since the start of the Syrian conflict in 2011. Most of the attacks were claimed by extremist groups such as al-Qaida and the Islamic State.

The attacks killed scores of civilians and wounded hundreds.

    Nasrallah: Some might ask why we canceled the marking of Laylat al-Qadr at the Sayyed al-Shohada Complex. We marked it at other places and had the situation been extremely dangerous, we would have canceled the ceremonies at all mosques.

    Nasrallah: The IS attacked Istanbul's Ataturk Airport although Turkey has not fought the group and it has kept it border open for the crossing of thousands of militants. The problem lies in the ideology of the IS, al-Qaida and al-Nusra, which is the same Wahhabi ideology that is present in Saudi Arabia.

    Nasrallah: There is nothing new in the threats of the Israelis.

  • 01 July 2016, 18:22

    Nasrallah: My message today is that all the tools and servants of must despair over the possibility of abandoning Palestine.

  • 01 July 2016, 18:08

    Nasrallah: It is not a coincidence that those who are marking Quds Day in Yemen, Bahrain, Syria and Nigeria are suffering the same stabs in the back from the Saudi regime.

  • 01 July 2016, 18:05

    Nasrallah: The same ruling regimes and dynasties that allowed the US and Britain to create the state of Israel in return for getting their thrones are still fighting any chance for resistance – in Egypt in the past and currently in Syria and Iraq. They are trying to keep their thrones and history is repeating itself.

  • 01 July 2016, 17:59

    Nasrallah: During the peak of the resistance axis' advance, some countries intervened forcefully to besiege this axis, taking the entire region to war and strife under false slogans, topped by freedom and democracy, and the objective was to strike the resistance movements and our peoples' resistance culture.

  • 01 July 2016, 17:59

    Nasrallah: The region witnessed a transformation in the past two decades through the rise of the axis of the resistance that comprises Iran and Syria and the choice of resistance started making real achievements in Lebanon and Palestine.

  • 01 July 2016, 17:52

    Nasrallah: The Palestinian people's only path is resilience and resistance, even if that takes a long time. Negotiations have only led to recognizing Israel and opening the doors to the subservient Arabs to normalize ties with Israel and besiege the resistance movements.

  • 01 July 2016, 17:48

    Nasrallah: Some Arab nations voted in Israel's favor at an important UN committee.

  • 01 July 2016, 17:47

    Nasrallah: In the worst circumstances, weakness might justify not going to war but it does not justify surrendering to the enemy. It does not justify giving the land to the enemy, normalizing ties, establishing relations or conspiring with this enemy against the aggrieved ones.

  • 01 July 2016, 17:44

    Nasrallah: The state of Israel is a usurper and occupier entity and it was created through terrorism.

  • 01 July 2016, 17:42

    Nasrallah: The right thing that should be said on this day is that Palestine, from the sea to the river, is an occupied and usurped land that was stolen from its legitimate people.

  • 01 July 2016, 17:40

    Nasrallah: This is a day for highlighting this great tragedy and cause. It is a day to draw a roadmap and announced responsibilities, away from political and diplomatic courtesies.

  • 01 July 2016, 17:37

    Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in televised speech marking Quds Day: Any person cannot claim to be a true believer in God while turning a blind eye to a Zionist entity that is aggrieving the Palestinian people.

On the Syrian War, and notice how King Rat is so deeply involved in regional conflicts when he poses as the head of a Lebanese Political Party. Yes, the mask is off that since he said the other day that all HA funds are maintained in Iranian Banks, making Hezbollah a creature of Iran, not a Lebanese political party.
That said, he calls Hezbollah's participation in Syria as a "preemptive war". And had it not acted "monsters" would roam Lebanon. Such BS. Who can prove the negative? And had HA not gotten itself involved in the Syria War, then the Syria War would not have bled into Lebanon. Now that's a fact.

Let's get some facts straight: First, Hezbollah never gave a damn about Palestine, they've turned a blind eye to them YET exploit their suffering for their own benefit. Secondly, Christians are used and abused (and bought out) by both them and ISIS. Thirdly there's this delusion brought out by them that if you're against their ideology you're therefore a Wahabi/Zionist conspirator. One can never take the word of people who in their very ideology is totally fine with LYING through their teeth (takia)...so all this is basically their ultimate goal of outnumbering an conquering while at the same time drugging and lying to the people. Alrighty fake accounts, let's see you claim I'm a Zionist/Wahabi YET you are no better than them and illegally occupy Lebanon just like Israel does with Palestine :).

It was your sectarian pre-emptive war that brought the retaliation into Lebanon. How can we forget your massacres in Qusayr and your street celebrations in Dahieh stopping cars and distributing Baklawah. You can re-write history for those blind followers but reality is a different thing. I was waiting for you to also say your pre-emptive wars in Iraq and Yemen prevented suicide bombers from entering Lebanon but that would have been laughed at by your most blinded followers.

You are the biggest sectarian terrorist of all times.

"If there are Lebanese who think the Zionist entity is less a threat than Nasralla (like so called PEACE) "

and peace repeats to you who support a militia funded 100% by a foreign country which by all standards is called treason! i repeat to you that hezbollah is more of a threat to lebanon than israel.....

you trust a militia that pledged allegiance to an islamic revolution but it is no threat to lebanon
you trust a militia that is funded by a foreign country but it is no threat to lebanon
you trust a militia that calls itself islamic resistance but it is no htreat to lebanon...
it has nothing lebanese but 100% iranian but still you trust it more than your own country and army....

قاضي قضاة فلسطين السابق: إيران تتاجر بقضية القدس

قال قاضي قضاة فلسطين السابق وإمام جامع مدينة الخليل، الشيخ الدكتور تيسير التميمي، إن "إيران تتاجر بقضية القدس من خلال إعلان (يوم القدس العالمي) حيث إن هذا الشعار من جملة الشعارات الكاذبة والبراقة التي تستغلها للمتاجرة بالقضية الفلسطينية".
وأكد التميمي في حوار مع قناة "سيماي آزادي" التابعة للمعارضة الإيرانية أنه منذ أن اختطف #الخميني ثورة الشعب الإيراني عام 1979 بدأ بإطلاق الشعارات البراقة الخادعة الكاذبة ضد إسرائيل. ومن هذه الشعارات أنه اعتبر الجمعة الأخيرة من شهر رمضان "يوم القدس العالمي".
