Syria: Hezbollah stands by the Syrian government against jihadists

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said today that the Lebanese Shiite movement is standing by the government forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, an ally of the movement, in the face of the attack by jihadist rebels who have captured two major cities in Syria in a few days. In a televised speech, Qassem denounced the attacks by “terrorist organizations” who “want to overthrow the regime in Syria.” “They will not be able to achieve their goals (…) And we, Hezbollah, will be, as much as we can, on the side of Syria to prevent the goals” of the rebels. Rebels and jihadists of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) organization entered and occupied the strategically important city of Hama in central Syria today, after capturing the country’s second largest city, Aleppo, days ago.
