Resistance not to remain silent over Saudi attacks on Yemen: Hezbollah
Lebanon's Hezbollah has reiterated its condemnation of Saudi airstrikes against Yemen, saying the resistance movement will not remain silent over the aggression.
Hezbollah’s Media Relations issued a strongly-worded statement on Wednesday, saying Saudi Arabia is attempting to create divisions in the region and fragment the regional countries, Lebanon’s al-Manar TV reported.
The statement further noted that Saudi Arabia murders innocent people through purchasing consciences, importing armies and soldiers, and sowing discord.
Extermination operations as well as mass murders are being committed during the course of the Saudi aggression against 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 Lebanon’s Future Movement support for the Saudi aggression has no impact on the resistance movement’s 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 Arabia’s 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."
