Hizbullah Condemns Sweida Bombings
Hizbullah issued a statement on Thursday condemning the suicide bombings that killed around 250 individuals overnight in Syria’s Sweida province.
“Hizbullah denounces this hideous crime,” said the statement, “it comes in the wake of the impressive victories achieved by Syria and its allies recently especially in the Syrian south.”
Islamic State suicide bombings and shootings hit Sweida on Wednesday, a Druze-majority province mostly held by government, killing at least 250.
The onslaught began with a triple suicide bombing in Sweida, which was followed by attacks with guns and explosives on villages to its north and east.
A fourth blast hit the provincial capital later in the day.
IS claimed the assault hours later. At least 45 jihadists died carrying it out, the Observatory said.
