Israeli occupation forces attempted to terrorize people participating in the funeral procession of two martyrs killed in Israeli aggression.
The two martyrs from the Lebanese Resistance Regiments - Amal Movement, martyr Mostafa Daher and martyr Ali Mohammad from the border town of Blida, were killed in an Israeli strike earlier on Friday.
In what has become a recurring theme, Israeli occupation forces attempted to terrorize mourners in the Lebanese border town, Blida, in South Lebanon.

Israeli occupation forces combed the vicinities of the nearby Bayad Blida and al-Malikiyah military sites, opposite the Lebanese town of Blida in the eastern district of operations.
Occupation forces fired a large amount of live bullets from machine guns, which coincided with the funeral procession. Significantly, the occupation launched a strike near the cemetery where the martyrs were set to be buried on Sunday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
However, our correspondent said that a large number of people were present at the procession and were undeterred by the Israeli aggression.

Amal pledged to remain committed to its covenant and its allegiance to its founding leader Sayyed Moussa al-Sader.
In a related context, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, mourned two of its fighters from the Lebanese town of al-Taybeh, martyr Mohammad Jawdat Yahya and martyr Abbas Ali Mubarak, who were martyred on the path to al-Quds.
