Hezbollah Media Relations Official warned on Friday that the Lebanese media space is open to the toxic Israeli air without restrictions and amid absence of law enforcement.
Hajj Mohammad Afif hailed the steadfast Lebanese journalists in the South, especially those who convey the reality of the field situation to the people and the world. He also praised a number of free Arab and foreign journalists who share the pain and hope, and story of resistance and steadfastness.
Afif indicated that some Lebanese media outlets adopt the Israeli narrative without any scrutiny and incite against the Resistance and its supporters without any governmental measures.
Hezbollah official regretted the fact that some Lebanese media outlets convey the Zionist story about any bombardment in Lebanon and display the enemy leaders threat in the context of the hostile propaganda targeting the Resistance and its incubation.
Neither the ministry of information nor the competent authorities move against those outlets under the pretext of “media freedom”, he wondered.
Afif asked: ” How can freedom of media be free of law enforcement? In it logical that those who are falsely called ‘activists’ post names of villages and towns and claim that Resistance commanders and munitions are present there? Does freedom of media cover inciting against hospitals in order to provoke a new Zionist massacre just as that which targeted Baptist Hospital in Gaza?”
Hezbollah official warned that the Israeli enemy used timed missiles which explode after the raid in order to delude the public opinion that that attack targeted a weaponry cache and prevent the medics from evacuating the injured, stressing that this flimsy pretext can no longer be accepted.
Afif affirmed that the US embassy in Lebanon is complicit and involved in the Israeli crimes against the civilians and the medics, asking about the UN and international community attitude towards the Israeli aggression on UNIFIL troops in South Lebanon.
This aggression underlines the Zionist entity disregards the UN Resolutions, Afif affirmed, recalling the Zionist massacre against the civilians who resorted to the UNIFIL site in Qana in 1996.
Hezbollah official stressed that the Israeli enemy has seen only a little bit of the Resistance military power, adding that the Resistance fire at Haifa, Safed and Acre is just the beginning.
Afif underscored the flexibility of the Resistance military operations which are not geographically restricted, explaining that any slight Israeli field progress must not affect the morale of the Lebanese people.
Hezbollah official warned some Lebanese parties against the political exploitation of the military battle, adding that it is still too early, and it is not 1982, the year the Israeli tanks reached Beirut.
Afif hailed the sacrifices made by the resistance supporters who were displaced from their homes, reiterating that reconstruction is inevitable.
Finally, Hezbollah official emphasized that this battle is not that of Karbala; it is the battle of removing the Gate of Khaybar.
