As he slammed the perpetrators of this crime, the Mufti confirmed that “the goals of this crime are clear, the people who benefit from it are known and the crime is a murder of all Lebanon,” he said.

In parallel, he prayed that God protects Lebanon and its people from more dangerous coming incidents.
Qabbani called on the Lebanese to maintain calm and wisdom, so that the martyrdom of General Hassan “proves the immunity of Lebanon in face of discord.”
“General martyr Wissam Hassan had foiled several criminal plans, he protected the national formula so that Lebanon remains a country of justice,” he viewed.

He further assured that “martyr Hassan’s blood will not go in vain and the criminal will be punished sooner or later. ”
