Hizbullah Party chief clings to resistance to expel Israel from south Lebanon

Hizbullah's (Party of God) secretary-general in Lebanon, Hassan Nasrallah, said the legitimate duty of the Lebanese national resistance is to expel the Israeli occupation from south Lebanon and the western Bekaa.

In a speech on Tuesday in Beirut, Nasrallah asserted the importance of keeping the civilian peace in Lebanon, as well as Hizbullah's commitment to it.

Meanwhile, the secretary of the follow-up committee supporting Lebanese detainees in Israeli jails, Muhammad Safa, discussed with the chief of the International Committee of the Red Cross mission in Lebanon, Jean-Jacque Feresard, the continuous Israeli aggressive practices against the detainees especially the sick.

He called on the ICRC to put pressure on Israel to make it release the ill detainees.
