The fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah sent a letter dedicated to martyred Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was assassinated by the Israeli occupation in a massive air raid on the Southern Suburb of Beirut on Friday.

The Islamic Resistance fighters praised martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah as a grand leader, pledging to avenge his death and continue on the path of Resistance he had spent the last three decades of his life paving.

His Eminence, our most sacred and esteemed martyr, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, may your noble secret be sanctified.

 

Peace be upon you, O' our leader. Peace be upon you, O' our beloved. Peace be upon your noble brow as a struggling commander, and peace be upon your pure soul as a sincere martyr. Peace be upon you from the positions of our artillery, from the salvos of our rockets, and from our Hussaini fists, which have held firmly to the trigger and will continue to do so, with God’s will, striking the corruptors on His earth and the murderers of His prophets and servants.

 

O' our leader, O' our beloved, we thank God Almighty who granted us the blessing of struggle in His path under your leadership, who honored us with knowing you and allowed us to live in your time. He blessed us and dignified us by allowing us to follow you on the path of your grandfather, Imam Hussein the martyr, peace be upon him, as we fight the enemies of God and humanity, defending the oppressed and downtrodden, to liberate the land and protect our dear people.

 

O' our leader and beloved, our souls will testify before God Almighty, that you fulfilled what you were entrusted with fulfilling, remained loyal to the covenant you made with us, persevered with patience and righteousness, and led us from victory to victory until your noble soul departed to join the long caravan of your beloved martyrs, the fighters and leaders.

 

How often, O' our leader, have we chanted with our voices and hearts in the fields of jihad, "At your service, O' Nasrallah!" How often have we echoed your cry of refusal to bow down, proclaiming, "Indeed, the illegitimate son of the illegitimate one has given us two choices: between the sword and humiliation. Far from us is humiliation!" And how often have we repeated with you the stance of your grandfather Hussein’s companions, when he told them, "This night has covered you, so take it as a camel (to depart)." Yet we say to you today, why should we do that? Should we remain after you? By God, if we knew that we would be killed, burned, and our ashes scattered in the air, and if this were to happen to us a thousand times, we would never abandon your path or forsake our covenant with you.

 

O' Eminence, Secretary-General, the greatest of jihadist leaders, O' master of the caravan of Hezbollah fighters, martyrs, and heroes of resistance and jihad, O' defender of the oppressed and the free people of the world, life will become bitter after you. We swear by your pure soul, from the borders of Palestine on whose path you became a martyr, and from the positions of the Islamic Resistance across the homeland, that we will, by God, remain steadfast in our covenant, continuing our promise until we fulfill your hopes and achieve your goals, no matter the sacrifices.

 

As for the arrogant, deluded enemy, we say to them: The days, the nights, and the battlefield lie between us. You will find us skilled marksmen, striking from places you expect and from places you do not.

 

To our steadfast, noble, and loyal people, we say: We swear by the cries of the suffering and the torn limbs of the martyrs that the murderers will not escape our wrath and revenge, nor will they weaken our resolve. The banner will not fall from our hands. This is our pledge, our promise, and our oath. Just as you always promised us victory, we promise you victory once again.

 

Your loyal sons,

The Fighters of the Islamic Resistance

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ascended to martyrdom on the 27th of September 2024, after an Israeli airstrike targeted a neighborhood in Haret Hreik, Beirut. 

Six buildings were razed to the ground as a result of the Israeli aggression, as Israeli media reported that 2,000 tons of explosives  were dropped on the targeted area.

His assassination sparked a wave of global condemnation, including from prominent leaders of Palestinian factions, who expressed their mourning and condolences to those who loved him dearly.

On September 30, in his first televised speech following the martyrdom of Sayyed Nasrallah, Hezbollah's new Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said that despite the assassination of key members, "Israel" has failed to diminish Hezbollah's capabilities.

He further vowed victory against the enemy, stating that "Israel" is "driven to madness" because it cannot undermine the Resistance.

"This great people who stood strong in difficult missions will stand strong again [in these difficult times], and we will win just as we won in 2006 against the Israeli enemy," Sheikh Qassem said on Monday.
