In his speech at the memorial, in Jabaa, South Lebanon, Sheikh Qassem addressed the developments of Operation al-Aqsa Flood and occupied Palestine.

He emphasized that we are in the era of 'Resistance and victories", saying that, "we will not allow the arrogant powers and Israel to define the boundaries and path of our freedom."

He added that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was a "tremendous and significant act" that deeply altered the Israeli occupation for the worse.

Qassem said, "We want the complete independence of our country and the full liberation of our land until the last inch."
