"The party welcomes the Lebanese army’s entrance into the town and looks toward its reinforced presence,” said Hezbollah’s Deputy Chairman of Executive Council Sheikh Nabil Qaouk on Sunday.
Speaking at a Hezbollah ceremony in south Lebanon, he said that Hezbollah forces would not allow the outskirts of Arsal to remain a haven for Takfiri terrorists, Daily Star reported.
He stressed that the Lebanese people would not tolerate the continued captivity of 25 Lebanese army soldiers by Takfiri terrorists affiliated with the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front.
The Takfiri terrorists have been holed up in the mountains surrounding Arsal since spring 2014.
Qaouk also said that "Hezbollah has no problem with the residents or the town of Arsal.”
