NNA - Hezbollah issued a statement Monday condemning the blatant assault against Lebanese Mufti Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani during his participation in the funeral of one of the martyrs of the terrorist bombing which struck Beirut two days ago.



The party said insulting religious figures was against the Arab and Islamic culture that respects and highly appreciates scholars.



The Party confirmed its solidarity with the Grand Mufti and saw in this aggression a cheap attempt for political investment at the expense of the blood of martyrs.



Hezbollah also called on the competent official authorities to take action to prevent the recurrence of such attacks.
