Syrian Coalition Condemns the Attack on the Lebanese Soldiers

Nora al-Ameer, Vice President of the Syrian Coalition, condemns the attack on a patrol of the Lebanese army in Al Bekaa’ area of eastern Lebanon. Six Lebanese soldiers were killed in the attack that was carried out by militants on Tuesday. “The Syrian people are the most affected by the Assad regime’s crimes and the militia groups fighting alongside its side, led by Hezbollah,” Al Ameer said. “We condemn this crime, and vow that those involved in it will be prosecuted and held to account. Whoever adopts such acts is undoubtedly stand by the extremist and authoritarian powers that we reject.” Nasr al-Hariri, Secretary General of the Syrian Coalition, called earlier on the Lebanese government to exercise caution and restraint regarding the abduction of the Lebanese Army soldiers. “In light of the political upheaval sweeping the region, dealing with this issue is like trying to defuse the political and social bombs planted by Hezbollah’s and Iran’s reckless policies in the region,” he stressed.
