Nasrallah: Daesh surrenders to Hezbollah

Beirut, Aug 29, IRNA – Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said that the Daesh (ISIS) terrorists had no choice but to accept Hezbollah proposed conditions and left the region.

He made the remarks while addressing a ceremony marking liberation of Lebanese and Syrian border areas from Takfiri terrorist groups. His address was aired live on Al-Menar TV.

Referring to the recent war against Daesh terrorists in the Lebanese and Syrian borders, Nasrallah said that neither Hezbollah nor the Lebanese army sought ceasefire but at the end the Takfiri terrorists accepted proposed conditions and abandoned the region.

When Daesh proposed talks, Hezbollah forces declared their conditions and called for freedom of two priests and journalist Samir Kasab and they finally accepted the conditions.

As to the last stage of the agreement with Daesh, Nasrallah said that it was committed to deliver remains of the bodies of the military as well as a Lebanese captive.

Based on the agreement, some 670 civilians, 26 wounded and 308 members of Daesh have left the Qalamoun heights, he said.


Noting that Daesh has been nurtured by the US and that the terrorist group has offered many services to the Zionist regime, he added that today those who are weeping for Daesh in Syria, al-Qalamoun and Iraq are Israelis and (the Zionist Regime Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu.

Hezbollah secretary general said that today (August 28) should be designated as the ‘second liberation of Lebanon’ in the history, as the first one happened in 2000 and Zionist regime was expelled from the territory of Lebanon.

'Today, no Daesh militant exist in any place of the Lebanese territory,' Nasrallah said adding, those who had counted on Daesh and al-Nusra Front feel unhappy over Daesh defeat.

Why States Still Use Barrel Bombs

Smoke ascends after a Syrian military helicopter allegedly dropped a barrel bomb over the city of Daraya on Jan. 31.(FADI DIRANI/AFP/Getty Images) Summary Barrel bombs are not especially effective weapons. They are often poorly constructed; they fail to detonate more often than other devices constructed for a similar purpose; and their lack of precision means they can have a disproportionate effect on civilian populations. However, combatants continue to use barrel bombs in conflicts, including in recent and ongoing conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, and they are ideally suited to the requirements of resource-poor states. Analysis Barrel bombs are improvised devices that contain explosive filling and shrapnel packed into a container, often in a cylindrical shape such as a barrel. The devices continue to be dropped on towns all over Syria . Indeed, there have been several documented cases of their use in Iraq over the past months, and residents of the city of Mosul, which was re

Russia Looks East for New Oil Markets

Click to Enlarge In the final years of the Soviet Union, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev began orienting his foreign policy toward Asia in response to a rising Japan. Putin has also piloted a much-touted pivot to Asia, coinciding with renewed U.S. interest in the area. A good expression of intent was Russia's hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in 2012 in Vladivostok, near Russia's borders with China and North Korea. Although its efforts in Asia have been limited by more direct interests in Russia's periphery and in Europe, Moscow recently has been able to look more to the east. Part of this renewed interest involves finding new export markets for Russian hydrocarbons. Russia's economy relies on energy exports, particularly crude oil and natural gas exported via pipeline to the West. However, Western Europe is diversifying its energy sources as new supplies come online out of a desire to reduce its dependence on Russian energy supplies . This has

LONDON POLICE INDIRECTLY ENCOURAGE CRIMINALS TO ATTACK RUSSIAN DIPLOMATIC PROPERTY

The diplomat revealed the response by the London police was discouraging. Police told that the case does not have any prospects and is likely to be closed. This was made despite the fact that the British law enforcement was provided with video surveillance tapes and detailed information shedding light on the incident. By this byehavior, British law inforcements indirectly encourage criminals to continue attacks on Russian diplomatic property in the UK.
