Kataib Hezbollah confirmed on Sunday that "ISIS" cells in the region are run directly by Saudi and Emirati intelligence. While offering his condolences to federal police after an ISIS attack on a military checkpoint in Kirkuk, the Kataib's Security Official, Abou Ali al-Askari, said that the relevant security apparatuses know that these countries run these cells directly.

Al-Askari noted that, in Kirkuk and at the outskirts of Nineveh Province, Peshmerga forces facilitate the work of these terrorist movements, highlighting the need to pressure the former to force them to stop their support of terrorists.

He also stressed the need for Popular Mobilization Forces leaders, especially in the north, to take the initiative so as to preserve the lives of their fighters and to be vigilant in light of the US-Israeli conspiracies being planned.

The Kataib Hezbollah Official also lauded Yemen's "Ansar Allah" for their strikes against Saudi Arabia and their direct hits against its infrastructure, mainly energy infrastructure, which constitutes the main source of the money they use to support "criminal gangs".
