Hezbollah Accuses US of Arming Terrorists Attack in S. Syria

Lebanese Hezbollah has accused the US of being the regional patron of the "criminal gangs" which carried out brutal coordinated attacks on numerous targets in the province, including the central market in Sweida city.

Wednesday's Daesh terrorist attacks in Sweida province have reportedly taken the lives of over 210 people, with over 200 others injured.

"The appearance of these armed gangs with full armament and equipment from the At-Tanf area, where the US are illegally based, right before their eyes and with their obvious assistance, is dangerous,"  Hezbollah said in a statement.

"Obviously, regional and international forces continue to use these criminal gangs to implement their evil and hostile goals," the statement added.

Expressing condolences to the families of those who had been martyred , Hezbollah emphasized that the terrorist attacks took place following the successful operations by the Syrian army in southern Syria, including in Daraa province, where the Syrian army are continuing an operation to liquidate the last Daesh stronghold in southern Syria.

Syria's At-Tanf district in Homs province borders Iraq and Jordan, and is under the control of an international coalition led by the United States. It contains a US military base and the Rukban refugee camp. Damascus has repeatedly demanded that the coalition ends its "illegal presence" in the area.
