Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah praises provisional parliamentary election results as vindicating his Shiite terror group’s military operations.
“This is a great political and moral victory for the resistance option that protects the sovereignty of the country,” Hassan Nasrallah says in a televised address.
