The head of Tawhid Lebanese party, ex-minister Wiam Wahhab called on Druze to form an armed force to defend themselves after Takfiri terrorists killed at least 20 members of their community in a Syrian village.

Talking during an urgent press conference hours after the massacre took place in Qalb Lawzah village, in Idleb countryside, Wahhab warned that the possible fall of the Druze-majority Syrian province of Sweida into terrorists hands would represent “a fall for us all.”

 “We will all take up arms, here and elsewhere, and anyone on Lebanese soil who has ties to al-Nusra Front or is collaborating with it is unwelcome, and they better leave this land because the reactions cannot be contained,” Wahhab warned.

“We will not accept this and faithful Druze from all Lebanese regions are ready to fight,” he added, the former minister said, adding:  “We will not accept to sell Druze blood!”

Meanwhile, Wahhab urged President Bashar Assad and the Syrian government to supply arms to Sweida's residents, calling on "everyone in Lebanon and elsewhere to take up arms and stand by our people."

“We have the ability to create an army comprising more than 200,000 Druze from Syria, Lebanon and the world to defend Sweida,” Wahhab underlined.
