Hezbollah chief delivering speech on battles against Daesh



Press TV - The secretary general of Hezbollah is delivering a speech on the latest joint military campaign by Syrian army soldiers and fighters from the Lebanese resistance movement in Syrias strategic and mountainous region of Qalamoun against Daesh Takfiri terrorists.

Addressing supporters through a televised speech broadcast from the Lebanese capital Beirut on Thursday evening, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is also going to touch down upon the Lebanese armys counter-terrorism operations against Takfiri militants in Ras Baalbekvillage and Christian-majority town ofal-Qaa, located in the Bekaa region of northernLebanonand on the border with Syria.

On August 19, Hezbollah and the Syrian army launched an operation to purge Daesh from Qalamoun, located about 330kilometersnorth of the Syrian capital Damascus.

Hezbollah launched a major push on July 21 to clear both sides of Lebanon's border with Syria ofarmed terrorists.

In August 2014, the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and Daesh terrorist groups overran Arsal, killing a number of Lebanese forces. They took 30 soldiers hostage, most of whom have been released.

Since then, Hezbollah andthe Lebanese military have been defending Lebanon on the countrys northeastern frontier against foreign-backed terrorist groups from neighboring Syria.

Hezbollah fighters have fended off several Daesh attacks inside Lebanon. They have also been providing assistance to Syrian army forces to counter the ongoing foreign-sponsored militancy.

The movement has accused Israel of supporting Takfiri terrorists operating in the Middle East.

Israel, which continues to occupy Lebanons Shebaa Farms and Syrias Golan Heights, is widely reported to be offering medical help to Takfiri terrorists injured in Syria. In December 2015, British newspaper theDaily Mailsaid Israel had saved the lives of more than 2,000 Takfiri militants since 2013.
