Martyr's Day celebrations continue
Hizbullah SG: Lebanon will decide what to do after the pullout…(1)
“Hizbullah and the Islamic Resistance organized more rallies to mark Martyr's Day in various Lebanese areas. One rally was held in Martyr Ahmed Qassir's hometown Deir Qanoun al-Nahr.

Qassir was the martyrdom freedom fighter who blew up the “Israeli” occupation's military governor HQ in Tyre in November 1983.

“Hizbullah Secretary General his Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah reiterated the invariable positions which he had announced at the central Martyr's Day rally in Bir al-Abed on Thursday.

At a rally to commemorate Martyrs Hussein Mazloum and Ali Medlej in Baalbak, Sayyed Nasrallah underlined that the “Israeli” enemy has reached the stage at which it has opted to pullout as a result of the resistance and the steadfastness.

"What we must obtain is an unconditional withdrawal without any implicit or explicit conditions," he said.

Lebanon is the one that will decide what to do after the (“Israeli”) pullout. Whether to deploy its army or Internal Security Forces in the occupied zone; just as it did following the withdrawal from Jezzine, he added.

The secretary General stressed that "Lebanon is the one that decides what is within its national interest.

Maintaining Lebanon's security is an internal affair and part of the country's sovereignty."

“No body must impose anything on Lebanon in this regard”, he concluded.
