Hizbullah Strongly Condemns U.S. Strike on Iran-Backed Groups
Hizbullah on Monday strongly deplored an overnight U.S. airstrike against Iran-backed armed groups which a monitor said killed at least seven fighters.
In a statement, Hizbullah said it "strongly condemns the treacherous American aggression that targeted the Iraqi-Syrian border."
"What the U.S. warplanes have done is a blatant attack on sovereignty... the region will not enjoy stability... until U.S. forces are expelled" from Iraq and Syria, it said.
The Pentagon said it had conducted retaliatory targeted airstrikes against "facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups" on the Iraq-Syria border.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the targeted sites -- two in Syria, one in Iraq -- had been used by "Iran-backed militias" involved in drone attacks against U.S. interests in Iraq.

Ironic the terrorist armed militia talks about sovereignty of Iraq while its mere existence is a blatant violation of Lebanon's sovereignty!
I hope they all die there because what are they doing in Syria, where 85% of its people ascribe to the "Suni" sect? This country is not theirs to do as they please.
