Nasrallah: We will do whatever LAF wants in its battle against IS

2^min

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah delivered on Friday a televised speech to talk about the aftermath of Hezbollah's offensive against militants in Arsal's outskirts.

Nasrallah congratulated the captives on their return to their country as a part of a swap deal between the armed party and the al-Nusra Front in the border town of Arsal.

Turning to the role of the Syrian regime in Arsal’s offensive, Nasrallah said Hezbollah's offensive was backed and facilitated by the Syrian regime from the beginning.

“The Syrian army was fighting in the Flita outskirts, adding that the fighting on two fronts from Flita and Arsal was the reason for the result of the battle.”

He also said that Hezbollah will do whatever the Lebanese army wants it to in the battle against the Islamic State.

“The timing of the upcoming battle between LAF and IS militants is in the hands of the Lebanese army,” he added.

On another note, Nasrallah slammed reports saying that the party has sent weapons to Kuwait, stressing that Hezbollah does not have any cells there.

“We want the best relations with Kuwait and such reports are inaccurate and pure political,” he noted.
