The Hamas movement on Sunday recalled the steadfast positions of the martyrs Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine in support of Palestine, as well as their martyrdom on the path to al-Quds.
In a statement issued on the occasion of the two martyrs' funeral procession, Hamas said, "We pray for their pure souls and extend our deepest condolences to the Lebanese people and to our entire Arab and Islamic Ummah."
The group affirmed that "the crimes of the [Israeli] occupation and its cowardly assassinations of Resistance leaders in Palestine, Lebanon, and beyond will not halt our path."
The statement also highlighted "the heroic stances of martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and his unwavering and principled commitment to the Palestinian cause," while praising his determination to establish a support front alongside the people of Gaza in the face of brutal Zionist aggression.
It further stated, "We recall martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s defiance of the occupation’s threats until he attained martyrdom, as he had wished, in defense of his Ummah's dignity and on the path to liberating al-Quds."
Today, the official funeral ceremonies for Sayyed Nasrallah and Sayyed Safieddine commenced at Camille Chamoun Sports City in the capital, Beirut, at 1:00 p.m.
The proceedings continued until the martyrs' bodies arrived at the courtyard of Sayyed Nasrallah’s mausoleum on the outskirts of Beirut.
Sayyed Safieddine is set to be laid to rest on Monday in his hometown of Deir Qanoun al-Nahr in southern Lebanon.
