NNA - Vice Head of the Islamic Shiite Supreme Council, Sheikh Abdul Amir Qabalan Monday said the attack against the Lebanese Army in Arsal is nothing but an unsuccessful attempt to hamper the Army's role in enforcing security and stability along the Lebanese territory.
"This cowardly attack lies within a series of assaults against pillars of the resistance and opposition project," he noted, assuring that the army has been proven strong enough to overcome such attempts, "as it draws its strength from the support of all the Lebanese people."
"The Lebanese Army reflects pride, invincibility and stability for Lebanon. It is the sole guarantor of civil peace."
Qabalan asked, therefore, for politicians' support to the military institution by providing a suitable climate, as well as by committing to rationality and wisdom in dealing with political crises.
Contacting the Lebanese Army Commander, General Jean Qahwaji Sheikh Qabalan paid condolences to the military institution as a whole and to the victims' families. He also wished fast recovery to the wounded.
