Similarly, Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah said that the Lebanese people are exercising the greatest constitutional entitlement today.

Fadlallah indicated that Southern Lebanon is an essential component of the country, stressing the need to move to the stage of rebuilding the state, adding that hatred has no place in building Lebanon.

The MP affirmed that if the latest Israeli occupation military drills aim to influence the elections, the Resistance is on the lookout.

The people chose the Resistance

On his part, Amal movement Member of Parliament Ali Hassan Khalil considered that people's participation in the elections today is a message to all those who bet on their retreat, adding that the people chose the Resistance.

Khalil also called for the widest participation in the parliamentary elections.

Earlier, Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that the Lebanese army arrested a man who opened fire from a car at an army checkpoint in Akkar, north of Lebanon, and wounded two soldiers, who were transferred to a hospital in the area.
