Hezbollah condemns Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen

Xinhua, March 28, 2015 Adjust font size:

Pro-Iran Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah condemned on Friday the Saudi-led airstrikes against Yemen's Shiite Houthis group, and urged all parties to return to talks and other political means in the war-torn country.

In a televised address, Nasrallah slammed the Saudi-led airstrikes against the Houthi fighters, saying that "any ground invasion will end up in failure."

He also accused the Gulf nation of turning a blind eye to the plight of the Palestinians and of financing the Islamic State (IS) militant extremist group.

The Saudi-led Arab coalition launched airstrikes against the Houthis overnight Wednesday in an effort to restore Yemeni President Abd-Rabbo Mansour Hadi's rule in the country. Endit
