Hizbullah was surprised on Sunday that March 14 "has not yet abandoned its alliance" with the Syrian armed opposition, declaring that anyone who incited against the army is a partner in the crimes by "Takfiri gangs" against it.
"The Lebanese army is being exposed to open aggression by Takfiri gangs, which are not just passing separate attacks, its an external decision to continuously attack the army," said the Deputy head of Hizbullah's Executive Council Sheikh Nabil Qaouq, in a memorial service celebration in the town of Dwair.
The army was exposed to a series of attacks, from the beginning of the week, by hand grenade attacks and shooting in both Tripoli and Akkar.
Apart from the injuries, two soldiers died one in Akkar's al-Bire, Jamal John Hashem and another in Akkar's Rihaniyya Miled Mohammed Issa.
Here Qaouq explained that "the Takfiri aggression against the army showed the truth of many in the north, and exposed the supporters of the Takfiri groups.”
“The people covering up for and helping the Takfiri emirate in Roumieh are the same people that are covering p and helping the Takfiri gangs in the north," he added.
"The assaults, murder and bloodshed are results of all those who instigated against the army, and they are all partners in crime," said Qaouq.
He addressed the other team, as saying: "Enough pride and stubbornness from the March 14 forces, we advise them to quit arrogance and join the honor of participating in fighting against the Takfiri attacks on the military and on Lebanon."
“It is not the national responsibility of March 14 to act as if the battle of Arsal and Brital is non-existent," he stressed.
At the same time, Qaouq said: “Hizbullah was not waiting for a permission or satisfaction from March 14 to practice our national and humanitarian responsibility to defend our people.”
He expressed his regrets towards the March 14 for not abandoning its alliance with the Syrian armed opposition, which is attacking Lebanon.
Two weeks ago, gunmen stormed a Hizbullah position in the outskirts of Brital causing the death of eight of its men, while Hizbullah regained its site after clashes.
