Qassem says Kahale incident attempt to 'fabricate nonexistent issue'
2023-08-14
[An Nahar] Hezbollah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem
... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies...
has visited the family of slain Hezbollah member Ahmed Qassas, who was killed in the Kahale clash on Wednesday.

"The footage revealed that Qassas was the symbol of honor, loyalty and dignity in his resistant position and he sacrificed his blood for the interest of Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
," Qassem told the family.

Calling on security and judicial agencies to "follow up and investigate accurately in order to penalize the sedition stirrers who tried to take the country into the abyss," Hezbollah’s number two warned that "what happened in Kahale was an attempt to stir sedition and fabricate a nonexistent issue."

Qassem also lauded "the political forces and people who stood by Hezbollah and were working together to pacify the situations and put out sedition."

Qassas and a resident of Kahale, both of whom were armed, were killed in an exchange of gunfire Wednesday after a Hezbollah ammunition truck flipped over on the international highway that passes through the town.

The incident started after some residents learned that the truck belonged to Hezbollah. They surrounded it and demanded to know what was inside before a fistfight ensued between two individuals. Footage available online also shows Kahale residents hurling rocks at the overturned truck and its guards and the Hezbollah members brandishing weapons and shooting in the area. Another videos shows a short-distance exchange of gunfire between Hezbollah members and Fadi Bejjani, the Kahale man who was killed in the violence. The identity of the individual who fired the first shot is still unclear.
