My honorable freedom-fighting brothers,

Peace be upon you, and God's mercy and blessings.

 

We all look to you; your bright minds, your faithful hearts, and your youthful physical prowess.

For right after God Almighty, we rely on you, your presence, faith, and resistance to defend your people and families, as well as your country, values, and dignity; to defend this holy blessed land and these honorable people, as well as all of the achievements accomplished through the blood of the martyrs that have made their way to God Almighty before us.

 

May God bless you and your efforts, all the hard work, sleepless nights, and fatigue. I pray for God Almighty to accept your offerings and forever make you the protectors of our homeland, honorable people, and religion. May he allow you to lay the groundwork that would enable the enactment of the desired and promised divine justice.

 

Peace be upon you, and God's mercy and blessings

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred 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 dozens of 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.
