Hezbollah official urges state to stop being an 'impotent spectator' as to Israel attacks
Hezbollah Islamic relations official Sheikh Abdel Majid Ammar on Tuesday strongly condemned an Israeli drone strike that killed a senior Jamaa Islamiya military commander near Damour, calling it an attack on Lebanese sovereignty and on “resistance with all its affiliations.”
“The enemy’s insistence on its crimes with a blatant U.S. cover and encouragement is the result of the indifference of the states sponsoring the ceasefire agreement and the international community’s failure to perform its responsibilities, which encourages the enemy to press on with its barbaric hostility,” Ammar added.
He also deplored an Israeli strike that killed one person in the southern town of al-Hinniyeh, calling on the Lebanese state to “fully shoulder its national responsibilities” and to “stop being an impotent spectator.”
“It should not settle for the condemnation statements that have proved futile and have not deterred the enemy,” Ammar added, urging the Lebanese state to “carry out effective, serious and urgent steps on all levels and with all available means.”
