Ali Ammar, a parliamentary member of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, stressed that Hezbollah will remain unwavering in its path of resistance and in upholding the legacy of its martyred leaders, foremost among them martyrs Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.
He delivered his remarks during a ceremony marking the first anniversary of the martyrdom of Resistance leader Ali Karaki, reaffirming that the movement’s course is deeply rooted in sacrifice and resilience.
Ammar underscored that the Israeli enemy continues its aggression against Lebanon, dismissing public rumors claiming that Hezbollah's lack of response stems from weakness and impotence. Instead, he emphasized that Hezbollah's strategy is one of calculated strength rather than retreat, a primary result of its supporters' steadfastness and resolve.
Turning to the memorial stand in the Raouche area of Beirut, which took place yesterday in honor of Sayyed Nasrallah and Sayyed Safieddine, Ammar stressed that it was the government's duty to take a responsible stance.
He also slammed Prime Minister Nawaf Salam's discontent with the matter as a "negative position" for someone entrusted with representing the country.
In this context, he praised Hezbollah's martyred leaders as the "people and nation's most honorable sons," stressing that paying tribute to their memories must not be turned into a platform of denial or objection.
Beirut's Raouche lit up with martyrs' images
On September 25, Hezbollah's supporters lit up Beirut’s iconic Raouche Rock with the images of the movement’s two fallen secretary-generals, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, remembered by supporters as the “leader of the martyrs of the nation,” and his successor Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.
According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, large crowds from across Lebanon gathered along the capital’s western coastline to commemorate the anniversary of their martyrdom. The annual remembrance comes nearly one year after Sayyed Nasrallah was assassinated on September 27, 2024, and just days before Sayyed Safieddine was assassinated on October 3, 2024.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam had initially objected to holding the tribute and decreed an order to prevent the use of projectors on public monuments and symbols in an attempt to deter the Resistance's supporters from lighting the Raouche Rock. He allowed a maximum of 500 people to convene for the event.
The decision was met with vast condemnation and rejection, and prompted thousands of people to head to the site and honor Lebanon's martyrs.
