Resistance groups launched work following Islamic Revolution

A senior Palestinian scholar and spokesman of the Lebanese-based Association of Palestinian Alims says the regional anti-occupation resistance groups are indebted their existence to the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran.

Mohammad Saleh al-Mo’ed was speaking to the Qods News Agency (Qodsna) in the Iranian shrine city of Qom a few days ahead of the 37^th anniversary of the revolution’s victory.

The Palestinian scholar considered as critical the role of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini in re-fielding the Palestinian issue in the international politics.

Asked about such pseudo-Muslim terror groups as the ISIL, the scholar said the terror groups are in a bond with Israel against the Muslim community and conspire against the Palestinian issue.

Al-Mo’ed said the ISIL originally sought to destroy the regional resistance groups but to no avail.
