These projects, the statement said, aim to impose dominance over the region, strip its people of their freedom, and undermine their sovereignty.
The DFLP emphasized that Sayyed Hashem Safieddine's martyrdom places him alongside his brother and leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the martyred Secretary-General of Hezbollah, further enriching the legacy of great martyrs who light the way for future generations. His life, dedicated to serving his people, nation, and Hezbollah, was exemplified by his prominent leadership role within the party.
The statement also underscored that the loss of Safieddine, like the loss of Nasrallah, has not weakened Hezbollah or the Lebanese Resistance. Instead, it has fueled the spirit of struggle across Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, strengthening the resistance against Israeli occupation and aggression.
The DFLP expressed its deep appreciation for Hezbollah's steadfast support of the Palestinian people, despite the heavy price Lebanon and its resistance bear in the ongoing confrontation against the Zionist project.
