Loyalty to the Resistance bloc hailed on Thursday the arrest of fugitive radical cleric Ahmad al-Assir, dubbing it a “security achievement of great proportions.” The bloc also warned against political interference that downplay the arrest, therefore undermining the "blood shed by martyrs". On another note, Hezbollah MPs urged the Future bloc to stop evading dialogue with the Free Patriotic Movement, adding that the FPM cannot be isolated or disregarded.
