Iraqi Hashd al-Sha’abi forces will punish those behind attack on its fighters: Nasrallah
Tehran (KNA) - The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement says the Iraqi voluntary and pro-government Popular Mobilization Units would give a befitting response to those responsible for a deadly air raid on their fellow fighters in Syria’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr earlier this month.
Addressing his supporters via a televised speech broadcast from the Lebanese capital city of Beirut on Friday evening, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the forces - better known by the Arabic word Hashd al-Sha'abi - will get revenge for the late June 17 strike against the border town of al-Hari near the frontier with Iraq.
Nasrallah further noted that Hashd al-Sha'abi fighters played an effective role in defeating the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in Iraq.
The Hezbollah chief also stressed that his movement seeks "the speedy formation of a new cabinet in Lebanon," saying, "Clear and unified criteria must be set for this objective."
