The authorities of Saudi Arabia and Turkey have agreed to send thousands of terrorists north of the Syrian Aleppo province, Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement Hassan Nasrallah said Friday.

BEIRUT (Sputnik) — Saudi Arabia and Turkey's officials have not commented on this statement so far.

"There is a regional Saudi-Turkish agreement to deploy thousands of terrorists to northern Aleppo. The aim of this agreement is to capture Aleppo," Nasrallah said in an address broadcast by the Al Manar station.

He added that terrorist groups used a ceasefire regime to boost their positions and start new attacks.

The main forces of Hezbollah are concentrated in Aleppo province. The group conducted the most fierce battles with the terrorist group al-Nusra Front, banned in Russia and many other countries, and its allies in the southern Aleppo. According to Nasrallah, a total of 26 Hezbollah militants have been killed, one taken hostage and one is considered missing since the beginning of June.

Hezbollah, a paramilitary and political organization grounded in Lebanon's Shiite population, was established in the 1980s. The group has been fighting alongside the Syrian government against extremist militant groups since 2011.
