MP Mohammed Raad, the head of Hizbullah’s Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc, warned Sunday that “any hesitation” regarding the so-called “army-people-resistance equation” would subject Lebanon to new threats.
“The equation that always leads to victories in a country such as Lebanon is the resistance-people-army golden equation,” Raad said.
He cautioned that “any hesitation in committing to this equation would subject the country to more threats and attacks, and would encourage the aggressors to violate Lebanon’s sovereignty.”
Referring to the victories over the Islamic State group in the offensives that have been launched by the Lebanese army on the Lebanese side of the border and by Hizbullah and the Syrian army on the Syrian side of the border, Raad said “this will go down in Lebanon’s history and in the record of the new presidential tenure in Lebanon.”
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had recently stirred controversy in Lebanon by adding the Syrian army to the so-called army-people-resistance equation. Some also accused him that his real equation also involves Iraq's Shiite militias, Yemen's Huthi rebels and Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
