Lebanon's Amal Movement vows steadfast resistance
On his part, Qabalan Qabalan, a member of the Development and Liberation parliamentary bloc in the Lebanese Parliament, told Al Mayadeen, that the consistent strategy of the Israeli enemy involves persistently targeting and killing civilians and carrying out massacres. However, he noted that the Lebanese people have taken it upon themselves to confront and resist this approach.
It is worth noting that the Resistance Movement and its members are actively defending Lebanon's borders and villages against the Israeli occupation since 1975.
Ali Dawoud was the first Resistance fighter from the movement to be martyred as part of the current battles between the Lebanese Resistance and the Israeli occupation forces on the borders of occupied Palestine on November 11, 2024.
On February 2, 2024, the Amal Movement mourned martyrs Mostafa Daher and Ali Mohammad who were killed in an Israeli strike on the town of Blida in southern Lebanon.
On February 5, 2024, the Movement announced the martyrdom of three of its Resistance fighters; Hussein Azzam, Jaafar Iskandar, and Hassan Skaykeh.
On February 11, it also mourned martyrs Mohammad al-Masri and Hassan Faroukh, who were killed in Israeli strikes while performing their duty in defense of Lebanon and the South.
At the time, the Arab Affairs correspondent for the Israeli Channel Kan, Roi Kais, commented on the martyrdom of al-Masri and Faroukh in southern Lebanon. Kais stated that the Lebanese movement is "increasingly involved" in the battles against "Israel", noting that 10 of its fighters were martyred since October 7, 2024.
