Resistance not to remain silent over Saudi attacks on Yemen: Hezbollah

Lebanon'sHezbollahhas reiterated its condemnation of Saudi airstrikes against Yemen, saying the resistance movementwill not remain silent over the aggression.

Hezbollahs Media Relations issued a strongly-worded statement on Wednesday, saying Saudi Arabia is attempting to create divisions in the region and fragment theregional countries, Lebanonsal-Manar TV reported.

The statement further noted that Saudi Arabia murdersinnocent people through purchasing consciences, importing armies and soldiers, and sowing discord.

Extermination operations as well asmass murders are being committed during the course of the Saudi aggressionagainst innocent Yemeni civilians, the statement said.

It also described Saudi Arabia as the regime of ignorance and murder in the Arabian Peninsula which is exporting terrorism, extremists and subversive ideologies.

Hezbollah also said in the statement that the support of Lebanons Future Movement support for the Saudi aggression has no impact on the resistance movements stance on the Saudi crimes in Yemen. The two major Lebanese factions are currently holding talks to improve security and stability in the country.

During a wide-ranging interview with the Associated Press on Monday, Hezbollah Deputy Secretary Sheikh Naim Qassem slammed Saudi Arabias indiscriminate bombardment of Yemen as genocide.

"Saudi Arabia has embroiled itself and will incur very serious losses that have started to show and will increasingly reflect on its status, its internal situation and its role in the region," Qassem emphasized. "What happened in Yemen is a crime that cannot be ignored ... Saudi Arabia is committing genocide in Yemen, we cannot be silent after that."

The developments comeas the Saudi military aggression against its Arab neighbor has drawnwidespread regional and international condemnation.

Saudi Arabias air campaign against Yemen started on March 26, without a UN mandate, in a bid to restore power toAbd Rabbuh MansurHadi, a close ally of Riyadh.

Close to 2,600 people, including women and children, have been killed in the attacks.

The spokesman for Yemeni armed forces and popular committees, Colonel Sharaf Luqman, has criticized Saudi Arabia for leveling Yemens infrastructure to the ground.

He said in a press conference in Sanaa on Monday that civilians and Yemeni infrastructure have been the target of the Saudi aggression against Yemen. Saudi Arabia is the international supporter of terrorism, the military official stated.

A significant number of governmental buildings, schools, shops, gas stations, markets, stadiums and mosques have been destroyed in the Saudi attacks, the spokesman added, describing the Saudi brutalities in Yemen as war crimes.



Speaking from Beirut, Press TVs correspondent Ali Rizk said on Thursday that the Saudi-backed Future Movement of Lebanon has launched an all-out campaign against Hezbollahs stance toward Yemen.

He said Hezbollah, however, has stressed, however, that it will not be silent on the developments in the impoverished country and the Saudi aggression against it.

Hezbollah wants to send a message to the rival group that the movement will keep its stance toward Yemen with or without national political talks in Lebanon, Rizk said.

Hezbollah leader Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech just days after the Saudi invasion began, that movement will not retreat from its position towards Saudi Arabia.

Rizk added that more fiery rhetoric from Hezbollah can be expected during Nasrallahs second speech on the situation in Yemen.
