Hezbollah firmly denounced on Sunday ISIL heinous crime which led to the martyrdom of scores of innocent civilians and injured hundreds of others.

In a statement, Hezbollah said that “this substantive crime is a continuation of the diabolical cycle of murder and criminality which indiscriminately hits everywhere and aims at retaliating, shedding the innocent blood, tarnishing the image of Islam and the Muslims, splitting the Umma, and serving the rejected polices which employs terrorism as a political tool.”

The party expresses deep regret for the wide media disregard as well as the regional and international silence about the massacre and considers that it encourages terrorism, according to the statement.

Hezbollah also called on the Muslim scholars, the regional as well as international bodies, and all who have a clear conscience to denounce the crime and to avoid justifying the terrorists’ criminality which disgraces the entire humanity.

Hezbollah finally offered deep condolences to the martyrs’ families and hoped that Holy God grant the wounded a speedy recovery.
