) and the AMAL Movement," Asir says in the video.
It was not immediately clear when the audiovisual message was recorded. It comes amid unconfirmed reports claiming that the holy man was killed or captured as the Syrian army and Hizbullah retook Syria's Yabrud area from rebel hands.
The holy man described the Lebanese Army as "the first and most important tool" of Hizbullah on the Lebanese domestic scene, slamming Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji as a "criminal."
"You are totally aware that there are death squads -- similar to the death squads of the criminal Maliki in Iraq -- inside the military institution, which are liquidating our youths, such as Khaled Hmayyed and Abou Mazen," Asir added, addressing the army's "Sunni" officers and soldiers and urging them to defect.
Commenting on the indictments that were issued on February 28, in which Judge Riyad Abu Ghida demanded the death penalty against him and 56 other people over the Abra festivities, Asir ridiculed the charges and accused Sidon MP Bahia Hariri of suppressing the families of the Abra detainees.

and their supporters, Asir added: "It will be impossible to continue to coexist with you before 'your heads are smashed' and, God willing, we will exert efforts to that end."
In June 2013, Asir's supporters opened fire on an army checkpoint near the holy man's headquarters in the Sidon suburb of Abra. The attack and the fierce festivities that ensued left around 18 soldiers and more than 20 gunnies dead.
The gunbattles concentrated in the area of the Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque and nearby buildings in Abra.
