BEIRUT: The recent Israeli strike that killed six Hezbollah members in the Syrian village of Qunaitra serves as proof that Israel and "takfiri" groups share the same objective in Syria, a Hezbollah MP said Friday.
“This attack proved again the convergence between the Israeli plan and that of the takfiri groups, which [both] aim to destroy the resistance by targeting Syria,” Hasan Fadlallah said at a ceremony in Adsheet village of Nabatieh, south Lebanon.
“This convergence is not only manifested in the military aid and hospitalization services, but also in direct military intervention, which happened in Qunaitra and in the previous Israeli assaults on Syria.”
He said the attack on the convoy was proof that Hezbollah has succeeded in foiling Israel’s plans in Syria, and that its ultimate battle is against the “Zionist project.”
Last week’s Israeli strike killed Jihad Mughniyeh, the son of late-Hezbollah senior commander Imad Mughniyeh, military commander Mohammad Issa and four other of the groups fighters. Iran announced that a commander in the Revolutionary Guard was also killed in the attack.
Fadlallah said the development was enough to answer the criticism of the opponents of Hezbollah’s involvement in the Syrian war.
“They were killed defending Palestine, Syria, the resistance, Lebanon and its people,” he said. “The place and time have their own significance. The Israeli felt that his plan, on which he built dreams and expectations, has begun corroding due to the persistence of resistance in Syria.”
