Hezbollah chief calls for firm stance against Takfiri ideology

During Hezbollah crowded ceremony held in Beirut’s Dahiyeh to mark Ashura anniversary, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said Daesh (also known as ISIL) terrorist group is one of the most dangerous phenomena that have emerged in the region.

Nasrallah added that Daesh has defamed the image of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and in the meantime caused heavy human and material losses.

According to Hezabollah-affiliated Al-Manar TV Network, Nasrallah called on holding accountable all who were behind establishing, funding and arming the takfiri groups.

'All Daesh supporters must be exposed. If it is impossible to punish them internationally, the regional people must punish them politically and economically. The Ummah must take a firm stance towards Wahhabism in order to prevent the recurrence of such dangerous phenomena.'

Sayyed Nasrallah also called on continuing the war against Daesh wherever it exists till eradicating the terrorist group.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he called on the Zionist settlers, especially the Jews, to leave the occupied Palestinian territories into the countries from where they had come, adding that if the US-Israeli command decides to launch a war on Lebanon and other regional countries, they would have neither enough time to escape nor a safe place in Palestine to resort to.

The Lebanese top cleric said that the stupid Israeli command does not have accurate data about the military capabilities that will confront the Zionist army during any upcoming war.

The Israeli political and military leadership does not have a clear view about the battlefields, the participators, and the horizon of the war, said the Hezbollah chief, adding that the Israeli regime's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in cooperation with the US President Donald Trump is planning to launch a war against Lebanon, Syria and Gaza.
'If this war happens, the Zionist settlers will pay a heavy price, and the entity will reach its demise.'

Do not let your command, which lies to you when it exaggerates its ability to emerge victorious from any war, involve you in a war which may cause your end, Nasrallah warned the Israeli settlers.

He added that the Jews have been used by Zionism to fuel its imperial policies which serve the US-UK interests in the region, stressing that Hezbollah’s war is against the Zionists, not the Jews as followers of a divine religion.

Commenting on Yemen developments, Nasrallah condemned the US-Saudi war on Yemen, denouncing the massacres committed by the Saudi air force against the civilians in the Arab country.

Hezbollah leader added that the Saudi rulers have failed to achieve any of their targets set for the war, hailing the Yemeni civil and military steadfastness in the face of the aggression.

Denouncing the repressive measures taken by the Bahraini regime against the people, Nasrallah said that the authorities in Manama restrict the movement of the clerics while normalizing ties with the Zionist regime.

He also expressed solidarity with the Muslims in Myanmar, blaming the Islamic countries for their silence about the atrocities committed by the fascist regime in that country.
