Nasrallah says Qaa suicide bombers came from Arsal outskirts
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah delivered on Friday a televised speech marking the Al-Quds Day.
 
In his speech, Nasrallah noted that "the identity of the person who sent the suicide bombers to the border village of al-Qaa to carry out terrorist operations will be shortly known."
 
“The suicide bombers did not come from the region of Masharih al-Qaa but from Arsal outskirts,” Nasrallah added.

 

He also called for drafting a national strategy to address terrorism, reiterating the national, humanitarian, and moral commitment to stand beside the residents of al-Qaa.

 

He urged the Lebanese state to shoulder its responsibilities in order to prevent the displacement of people from their regions.

 

Nasrallah called on everyone to have confidence in Lebanon’s ability to control the internal situation, adding that there is no need to panic and fear.

On the al-Quds Day, Nasrallah stressed that Palestine, “from the sea to the river is an usurped land that is stolen from its people.”
 
He also noted that there are Arab regimes and monarchies that are "publicly working on serving Israel in order to preserve themselves."
 
Commenting on the attack that took place in an airport in Turkey, Nasrallah said that ​the Islamic State "attacked Istanbul's Ataturk Airport although Turkey has not fought the group."
 
Lebanon has been on high alert since nine bombs exploded in the eastern border village of Qaa on Monday, killing five residents. Eight were detonated by suicide bombers.
 
No group has claimed responsibility yet.

Violence from the neighboring war in Syria has spilled into the country's border regions.

The Islamic State and Al-Qaeda militants briefly controlled the town of Arsal in 2014, before security forces pushed them to the frontier, where they remain now.
