Condemning what he called 'blind terrorism', Hezbollah secretary-general Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech on Saturday that 'our people in this region know very well this terrorism the Islamic State has carried out in the French capital.
'The Islamic State will not last long ... they know that they will not last,' Nasrallah said, pointing to recent losses suffered by IS in Syria and Iraq.
Noting the recent double suicide attack that killed 43 in a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut's southern suburbs, Nasrallah stressed such attacks will only increase the organisation's determination to fight the jihadist movement in Syria.
Hezbollah has assisted Syria President Bashar al-Assad in that country's civil war.
In Gaza, Hamas official Bassem Na'eem said in an emailed statement that Hamas 'strongly condemned the series of attacks and hostile actions that were carried out in Paris.'
'We pay our deep condolences to the families of the victims and we wish to France safety and security,' Na'eem said.
Meanwhile, Nafez Azzam, a senior Islamic Jihad official also condemned the attacks and told reporters that "I don't think Islam is allowing this haphazard and arbitrary killing."
Hamas and Islamic Jihad were responsible for carrying out a series of suicide bombings that killed hundreds of Israelis in the past.
