Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday expressed sympathy with “all those who were wounded in the Beirut port blast on August 4,” 2020, lamenting that “from the very first moment after the port explosion, some malicious TV stations said that Hezbollah was behind blowing up the port.”
“Those who blocked the truth in the port blast case are the ones who politicized this case. The real reason behind the loss of the truth in the Beirut port explosion is some parties’ linking of the case to regional events,” Nasrallah added, in a televised address commemorating late Shiite cleric Sheikh Afif al-Nabulsi.
“The same TV station that accused Hezbollah of the port explosion is saying that Hezbollah is behind what’s happening at the Ain el-Helweh camp and this is nonsense,” Nasrallah went on to say.
He added: “We are not responsible for the Ain el-Helweh battle in any way. We are against this fighting, we are trying to resolve it and I urge all the parties concerned to halt the battles.”
