Lebanon: MP Mohammad RaadHead of Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammad Raad, said on Tuesday that Syrian opposition groups had occupied the Syrian border town of al-Qusayr with the aim of "attacking the resistance from behind its back."

"The thing that is immunizing and strengthening the resistance is the harmony among all the political forces that have embraced the path of resistance, and this is what's bothering the other partners in the country, who have been trying to drive a wedge or stir discord in order to infiltrate through and achieve their plot,” Raad stated.

During a memorial ceremony, Raad stressed that Hezbollah is ready to defend Lebanon against every Zionist arm, including the terrorist takfiri gangs fighting in al-Qusayr city.

"The rifle of the resistance is still pointed at the same Israeli enemy, but the enemy has created a new frontier behind our backs, near our Bekaa and North, with the aim of stabbing us in the back, employing a bunch of Takfiri remnants through conspiring with regressive oil countries that have nothing to do with democracy,” Raad noted.

"Hezbollah did not intervene in Syria, we rather intervened in Lebanon to defend Lebanon and its resistance and to protect the country," Raad elaborated.

"We only point our rifle at any target we believe is allying and conspiring with the Zionist enemy, because our rifle only fires on those who are allied with Israel or conspiring with it," Raad added.

The Syrian Army launched on May 19 a large-scale operation in al-Qusayr border town with Lebanon to clear the area of terrorist gangs and liberate the citizens stuck there.

Syria was hit by a violent unrest since mid-March 2011, where the Syrian government accuses foreign actors of orchestrating the conflict, by supporting the militant opposition groups with arms and money.
