Iraqi group says ready to send thousands of fighters to Lebanon to confront Israel
The secretary general of Iraq's Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada says the Iraqi anti-terror group is ready to send thousands of resistance fighters to Lebanon in the event of war with Israel.
“We are waiting for your order to dispatch a contingent of fighters, who are on a standby, to Lebanon," Abu Ala al-Walai wrote in a Friday message addressed to Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Narallah.
"If a thousand of your fighters get martyred, we will provide you with a hundred thousand heroic forces,” he said.
“The Iraqi resistance front, with its weapons and possessions, is at your command," he wrote, adding, "The earth will be set ablaze from the north to the south beneath the occupation forces once you issue the order.”
On Monday, Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement said the country is ready to send “thousands of trained fighters” to help Hezbollah if necessary.
“We will support them (Hezbollah) in the same way that we support our brothers in the resistance in Palestine,” Vice president of Ansarallah’s Media Authority Nasr el-Din Amer told the Palestinian Shehab news agency.
Yemen’s armed forces have been carrying out numerous strikes against the occupied Palestinian territories since October 7, when the Zionist regime began waging a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah too has been staging hundreds of strikes both in support of the war-hit Gazans and in retaliation to the regime’s intensified attacks against the Lebanese soil.
The Ansarullah official’s remarks came amid Tel Aviv’s repeated threats to expand the attacks into a wholesale war on Lebanon.
Blasts in Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday claimed the lives of 37 people and wounded some 3,000 others when communication gadgets were targeted in electronic warfare by the Israeli regime.
