Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani hailed the recent gains made by Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement on the battlefield against ISIL.

Talking to Lebanese Al-Ahed news website on Tuesday, Shamkhani said Hezbollah victories herald the Takfiri terrorist group’s collapse in the entire region.

Hezbollah resistance fighters have dealt heavy blows to extremist terrorists, preventing their infiltration from neighboring Syria into Lebanon, Shamkhani said, noting that such victories foiled the plots being pursued by the West, Zionists and their Arab allies in the troubled region.

Last month, the Lebanese resistance movement cleansed the border area of Arsal outskirts of Nusra Front terrorists in a wide-scale operation.

Referring to the Arsal outskirts operation, Shamkhani said the offensive demonstrated Hezbollah’s resolve to purge terrorists from the Lebanese-Syrian border.

Shamkhani also highlighted the resistance movement’s important role in defeating terrorists in Syria, noting, “The growing popularity of Hezbollah in the Islamic world and Arab countries has enraged the Zionist regime and its mercenaries.”
