TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Hezbollah has no choice but to confront and emerge
victorious in its bid to remove Takfiri extremist groups operating in Syria,
deputy head of the party's executive council Sheikh Nabil Qaouk said
Tuesday.

"No matter what were the sacrifices and prices and despite the bombings and
suicide bombers, Hezbollah will not change its stances, back down or lessen
its intervention in Syria," Qaouk said during a memorial in the southern
town of Saksakieh.

He underlined "security and stability will not be complete in Lebanon
without eradicating takfiris who are entrenched along Lebanon's border and
in Syria," The Daily Star reported.

Qaouk highlighted that "safeguarding Lebanon compels [Hezbollah] to continue
its battle in Syria to eradicate the takfiri presence."

"We will not retreat despite the Saudi and Qatari support to the takfiri
groups, as they are funding them and providing them with weapons and
military expertise," he concluded.

Lebanon has been repeatedly jolted by security incidents linked to the war
in Syria, where Hezbollah is fighting alongside the Syrian army against
militant groups including extremists.
