Raad: We Would've Acted Differently Had We Sensed a Threat from Other Camp
Loyalty to Resistance bloc chief MP Mohammed Raad noted Sunday that Hizbullah “would have acted differently” had it sensed “a threat to turn the tables” from the rival camp.
“When we defend Lebanon against takfiri terrorism, we are defending all of Lebanon's components, but unfortunately there is still a camp in Lebanon that is betting on its support for Daesh (Islamic State group) and al-Nusra Front in order to boost its position in power,” Raad said.
“We would have acted differently had we sensed a threat to turn the tables from these parties. Everyone must be reassured that these parties do not pose a threat to Lebanon, especially that we are keen on national partnership,” Raad added.
“The Resistance will remain alongside the army in order to protect Lebanon. It will remain like this until we make sure that the army has the capabilities and assets that can create balance with the assets of its enemies,” the Hizbullah lawmaker went on to say.
“Only then we would discuss the level of coordination and understanding with the army, but now we will remain the supporters of the army in its defense of Lebanon and protection of the country against the takfiri terrorists and the Zionist enemies. If we don't do this, our fate will be at stake,” Raad warned.
