Tishrin: Lebanese deputy and the assassination of Hawi

Lebanese deputy Marwan Fares has stressed that Israel is standing behind the crime of assassination of the former Secretary General of the Lebanese Communist Party George Hawi pointing out to the similarity with the other previous crimes committed by the Israeli Mossad in Beirut southern suburb against leaderships of Lebanese national resistance.

In a statement to 'Tishrin' newspaper published Thursday, Fares said that "Hawi is one of the Lebanese national symbols who participated in launching the resistance movement against Israel, Israel is the main enemy for him, the Israeli Mossad is moving in Beirut freely and there is a large confrontation between the Israelis and the Lebanese."

Fares indicated that the assassination of Hawi is a big loss to the Arab liberation movement and to Syria, because he was an ally to the al-Baath Arab Socialist Party as well as to the late leader Hafez al-Assad and a friend to President Bashar al-Assad.

The deputy added that the continuation of assassinations in Lebanon is targeting the security stability and the political life in the country.
