The head of the Higher Islamic Shiite Council, Sheikh Abdel-Amir Qabalan, condemned on Sunday the recent attacks against the Lebanese Armed Forces, describing the parties who carried out the attacks as "very hostile." He was referring to a bomb explosion near the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp which led to the death of a Lebanese soldier and a failed attack on the outskirts of the Ain al-Hilweh camp near Sidon which lead to the death of a would-be suicide bomber.
"The best reaction to such attacks is preserving national unity and supporting the Lebanese army," Qabalan said.
Qabalan congratulated the Lebanese for ‘Israel's' release of Nassim Nisr, who spent six years in ‘Israeli' jails.
