Lebanon mourned the loss of the patriotic icon of Resistance and liberation Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, former Lebanese President Michel Aoun said on Saturday following the confirmation of Sayyed Nasrallah's martyrdom.

Sayyed Nasrallah, whom Aoun described as always truthful to his promises, "guided the national Resistance movement along the path to victory and liberation [...] he was known for his [...] dedication to the people who reciprocated love to him and trusted and followed him with unwavering commitment."

The Hezbollah leader "will meet his creator with the peace of knowing his long years of struggle and Resistance were fruitful; his efforts culminated in the handing over of the responsibility to a new generation of young fighters," the former Lebanese President stressed.

Former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri condemned the heinous crime, underlining that the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah "pushed Lebanon and the region into a new phase of violence."

Former Lebanese minister and senior political leader Suleiman Franjieh eulogized him with a short and meaningful message, saying, "The icon has now departed, and the legend is born; Resistance will live on."

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri

Sayyed Hassan was also eulogized by Lebanese Parliament Speaker and head of the Amal movement, Nabih Berri, who wrote some heartfelt words mourning him, in which he addressed Sayyed Hassan as his brother.

"I write to you now as you soar above, shedding tears for your parting, wishing to see you again, yet deprived by the flames [of war] of meeting you. 33 years we spent together as one, and not even the weight of entire mountains could break us apart. I write to you in your farewell, yet my words are lost, and I remain broken by your leaving in martyrdom."

Berri further wrote in his eulogy, "Any words that can be spoken in your goodbye are humbled by your greatness... all the words that can be said in your farewell fall short of your stature, which bowed only to God Almighty."

Lebanese Communist Party

The Lebanese Communist Party strongly condemned the "barbaric, cowardly crime" committed by the Israeli regime in assassinating Sayyed Nasrallah. 

In its statement, the party announced its support for "Hezbollah, its leadership, cadres, fighters, and all its supporters, affirming that the blood of the Resistance's martyrs will not be shed in vain, as it will come back to haunt the fascist Zionists in the form of the liberation of Lebanon and Palestine, ushering in the downfall of normalization regimes and their protector, the United States of America, which oversaw this crime."

"The loss is great, and the sorrow deep," the statement read, calling for reliance on God and patience.

Syrian Social Nationalist Party 

The SSNP, which also has a history of Resistance alongside Hezbollah, mourned Sayyed Nasrallah in a heartfelt statement that read, "Goodbye, O' most honorable of people, most honorable of leaders. You lived a hero and will continue to live through us, a legend of Resistance and the victorious oppressed across the world. It is with you that we emerged victorious and liberated part of our lands, defeated our enemy, conquered terrorism, and walked the path of Palestine which you paved today with your immaculate blood."

The party further promised Sayyed Nasrallah to continue as before "shoulder to shoulder on the path to Palestine."

Supreme Islamic Shia Council

The Supreme Islamic Shia Council eulogized the leader "with a mixture of pride in his martyrdom and the anguish of loss."

The organization said Sayyed Nasrallah was "a heroic leader who dedicated his life to the cause of Arab and Muslim struggles, particularly the Palestinian cause and sanctities." The statement emphasized that he lived his life unwaveringly on the path of struggle and sacrifice.

The council further asserted that the sacrifices of the people would only serve to strengthen their resolve and unity, as they continue to follow the path of the prophets and the righteous in resisting oppressors and tyrants.

Amal movement

The Lebanese Amal Movement also mourned the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, describing him as "a brother in resistance from the school of Imam Sayyed Musa al-Sadr and a faithful leader of Hezbollah and the valiant Islamic resistance."

The movement expressed deep sorrow, "We mourn to the masses of our nation in Lebanon and to the free people in the Arab and Islamic worlds, a man of truth who feared no blame in his defense of justice, freedom, and the liberation of land and people in Lebanon and Palestine. He was a champion for the oppressed and dispossessed."

The leadership of the Amal Movement extended its condolences to Hezbollah and the Resistance fighters, sharing "the deepest sympathies and pride in this loss."

"His passing will not deter the fighters from continuing the path of defending Lebanon against Zionist terrorism and its aggression, which has surpassed all moral and humanitarian boundaries," it underlined.

It further called on all Lebanese to come together in the face of this tragedy, emphasizing that national unity should serve as the cornerstone in resisting the ongoing Israeli assault.
