Hezbollah Al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance's secretary-general stated in Alkawthar TV channel on Sunday that Al-Nujaba soldiers have fought in majority of the operations in Iraq against ISIL and for the first time they were present in the ‘al-Naba'i’ area.
Sheikh Akram added, “our forces were also present in the liberation operation of the roads of Samarra, Baiji, and Tikrit and currently are based in Makhowl Mountains. They are also present in the security belt around Karbala."
Speaking about Mosul Liberation operation he stressed Mosul operation is not merely a battle against ISIL. It is, however, a fight with the US as well because their forces are present in the surroundings of this city too.
The chief commander of Popular Mobilization Forces of Iraq called their forces "soldiers with will power" who have the experience of fighting American forces and said: these soldiers have driven occupation forces out in the past and are capable of defeating ISIL or any other terrorist group.
He then pointed out that Mosul Liberation operation is a battle with political Daeshis too for these people are looking for disintegration of Iraq. On the other hand it is a battle with Barzani since he is planning to create an Israel-supporting government.
He clarified that American mainstream media tried to destroy the image of Popular Mobilization Forces of Iraq by saying that they have misbehaved in the cities they have freed. However these forces have not only behaved most humanely with people, but also have sacrificed their own lives to save people from conflict areas.
He added that Iranian Quds Forces have offered us their invaluable consultations on battles. Indeed they have sacrificed blood alongside Iraqi and Syrian soldiers.
Stating that the Popular Mobilization Forces of Iraq will conclude the Mosul Liberation operation in a few days, he said political Daeshis and some people in government accuse us of war crime.
Because of this sometimes the operations are ceased to respond to those accusations and then again they are resumed.
Describing the ‘political Daeshis’, he said they are some politicians who serve and support ISIL by their political views and stands. These people are supported by the governments who help ISIL. They react negatively to operations against ISIL.
Pointing out at the Americans' opposition to actions of Popular Mobilization Forces of Iraq he said "the US does not want Popular Mobilization Forces of Iraq to take part in the Mosul Liberation operation. In fact eye witnesses have reported many times when American aircrafts were helping ISIL."
Speaking about terrorist groups in Syria he said though the terrorist groups in Syria may have different names, they follow the same ideology and method. Even groups like Free Syrian Army who claim to be seculars are provoking disintegration. All these groups carry out beheadings and massacres and we consider them all terrorists.
He added currently there are Sunni battalions in Hezbollah Al-Nujaba fighting against ISIL; "we can uproot ISIL's intellectual base in Iraq by the aid of Sunni clergymen."
As his final word he addressed ISIL leaders and said we follow the holy prophet Muhammed and his household (Ahlul Bayt); "You degenerates have tried to ruin Islam but we represent true Islam."
