Al-Rahi: Christians Believe Hizbullah Stopping ’ISIL’ from Reaching Jounieh

Local Editor

As-Safir Lebanese daily reported on Tuesday that Maronite Patriarch Beshara al- Rai said Lebanon’s Christians believe that Hizbullah has stopped terrorists in Syria from reaching their heartland.

A highly-informed source said that on the eve of his trip to the Vatican last week, al-Rahi stated: "If the Christians in Lebanon were asked about their viewpoint on the latest developments, they would have said ’had there not been for Hizbullah, the "ISIL" would have reached Jounieh’."
