RNA – A group of Sunni scholars have met in Beirut to mark the eleventh anniversary of Hezbollah victory’s in the 2006 33-day War against Israel and in the support of the equation of the Lebanese army, nation and Islamic Resistance [Hezbollah].

Groups attending the meeting included the Sunni Board in Support of the Resistance, the National Solidarity Party, the Reform and Unity Movement and the Ummah Movement.

Shaykh Mustafa Malas, the chairman of the National Solidarity Party, said that Lebanon is facing a major crisis, saying, “We are facing a crisis and the challenge of sedition called takfirism, terrorism and murder in the name of religion. This intense sedition requires an intellectual and armed struggle.”

The Lebanese Sunni cleric added, “Yesterday, the Islamic Resistance was victorious through armed jihad and now the clergy must engage in an intellectual jihad against sedition.”

He said, “These days, the Lebanese army is preparing to fight the terrorists in al-Qa’a and Ba’albek and the Syrian army and the Islamic Resistance have also travelled toward Lebanon in preparation to fight this battle. We hope that this operation will be completed successfully.”

Shaykh Malas continued, “We hope that the mercenaries will be embarrassed by their actions and services to the enemies. We are obliged to support the four-part axis of the Lebanese army, the Syrian army, the Islamic Resistance and the people of these two countries in the battle against the terrorists.”

Since the beginning of the foreign-backed war in Syria began in 2012, Lebanon’s border areas have been hardly hit by spillover from the conflict.

The Lebanese military is reportedly making preparations to launch a long-awaited operation against hundreds of Daesh terrorists operating along the Syrian border with the help of the country’s Hezbollah resistance movement.
