Beirut, July 21, IRNA � The Lebanese Hezbollah has condemned beheading of a Palestinian child by the terrorist groups in Syria that has the backing of Saudi Arabia and the United states.


The Palestinian 12-year-old boy was decapitated by members of the Nour al-din al-Zinki Battalion in Syria�s northern city of Aleppo, allegedly for fighting alongside the Syrian Army.

The murder of the Palestinian boy complemented the �all-out war� against the oppressed Palestinian people, whose youth, children, women and elderly are being targeted everywhere, Hezbollah said in its statement on Wednesday.

�It started with the Zionist enemy in Palestine, and is being continued by the agents and partners of this entity of terrorism elsewhere in the world, especially in Syria,� the Lebanese movement said.

Hezbollah said such �terrorist crimes� are a clear indicator that groups, labeled by the West as part of Syria's �moderate opposition,� are no different than Daesh, also known as ISIS.

Nour al-din al-Zinki Battalion is largely based in Aleppo province.

The terrorist group is among the recipients of the US-made arms, including anti-tank missiles.
