Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said that the party is fighting the terrorist groups in Qalmoun barrens in order to protect the resistance and all the Lebanese areas.

"If Hezbollah did not fight in Syria, the car bombs would rock Beirut, Dahiyeh, Jounieh, Sidon and all the Lebanese areas," Sheikh Qassem pointed out.

His eminence stressed that Hezbollah backs the state measures in Arsal and its outskirts but that he will not wait for a long time to liberate the northeastern from the terrorists.

"The state waited for 22 years to implement the UN Security Council resolution 425 and liberate the south from the Israeli occupation."  

Sheikh Qassem asserted that Hezbollah will keep fighting the terrorist groups, wherever it is required, in order to defeat them.
