Free Sunnis of Baalbek Brigade: Israel and Hezbollah are two sides of the same coin

The Free Sunnis of Baalbek Brigade condemned on Tuesday via its Twitter account the "Israeli attacks on the Palestinian people, as well as the silence of the Arab nations while Israel kills the women and children of Gaza."

The Brigade considered that Israel and Hezbollah are "two sides of the same coin," adding that the first is killing the women and children of Syria, while the second is killing the women and children of Palestine.

The Free Sunnis of Baalbek Brigade is a Lebanon based Islamist group that considers Hezbollah as representative of Shiite dominance that must be opposed.

Hezbollah has sent fighters to help Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fight rebels that seek to topple him.

The Israel-Gaza border heated up last month after Israel's arrest of hundreds of Hamas activists in the occupied West Bank, where three Israeli youths went missing on June 12.

More than 200 rockets have been launched at Israel from the Gaza Strip, the military said, since Israel mounted the dragnet while searching for the teens, who were found dead last week.

Israel has accused Hamas militants of killing them. In a suspected revenge attack, a Palestinian teen was abducted in East Jerusalem last Wednesday.

His charred body was found in a forest and six Israeli suspects have been arrested.
