BEIRUT: Senior Shiite cleric Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah hailed on Monday Hizbullah’s “military exploits” against Israel during the summer 2006 war.

He added that the party’s performance achieved great victories not only at the Lebanese level but across the Muslim world. Speaking to a delegation of clerics, Fadlallah urged Sunni-Shiite unity, and cautioned the leaders of the two Muslim sects not to succumb to foreign plots to sow discord among them.
