AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a statement issued on the occasion of the fourteenth anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Resistance [Hezbollah] in the 2006 33-Day War [July War], Ayatollah Abdul-Amir Qabalan, the deputy head of the Supreme Islamic Shi'ite Council of Lebanon, said, “We appreciate and thank those who brought us this victory. This victory brought honour and dignity to Lebanon.”
The senior Lebanese Shi'ite scholar stated, “Anyone who destroys the face of Lebanon and the Islamic Resistance in any way for the occupier regime and steals national interests is a traitor. We thank the Islamic Resistance, the army, the people and the brave people who brought about this victory with their sacrifices, courage and patriotism.”
Ayatollah Qabalan added, “The martyrs who sacrificed their lives have joined the ranks of the prophets who were immortalized by history and our land has witnessed their heroism and they were and still are a model of nobility, magnanimity and redemption.”
His Eminence said, “Neutrality in the logic of Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Jesus Christ means the desire for the rights and defence of a country that is facing economic sanctions. Neutrality means being in the position as a saviour for the country, committing to the religion and the oppressed people and thanking those who gave their lives for this land.”
He said, “It’s in the logic of Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Jesus Christ that we’re required to take bitter decisions in the face of the tyrants regarding local, regional and international projects who cooperate to exhaust the poor in Lebanon. Neutrality means being against the devils, corruption and oppression.”
