Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Secretary-General Ziyad al-Nakhalah, said on Thursday that the martyr Qassem Soleimani is a powerful fighter who was present on all the fronts and squares of the resistance.
This came during a speech delivered by al-Nakhalah at a commemoration assembly held by a research center in Beirut, in the presence of the Iranian Ambassador, officials from the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance, and a number of political figures and scholars.

While eulogizing martyr Soleimani, al-Nakhalah described the "feelings mixed between pride and appreciation, and those of loss over the absence and departure of a dear brother and a great leader," explaining that "he had extensive relations with all the resistance forces in Palestine and abroad."
Martyr Soleimani "has been transformed from a national symbol to an international one, and rendered the impossible possible," al-Nakhalah said, noting that "Palestine was the first concern of martyr Qassem Soleimani, who believed in the unity of the Ummah and believed that Palestine and Al-Quds are the symbols of unity."
The PIJ Secretary-General affirmed that Soleimani "made a great effort to strengthen and develop the resistance until it reached its strongest stage and hit the enemy's capital, 'Tel Aviv', with missiles that he had sent to the resistance."
It is worth noting that a memorial ceremony for martyr Qassem Soleimani was held yesterday in the Gaza Strip, in which Palestinian leaders talked about his pivotal role in the Palestinian cause and confirmed that he was a spearhead in confronting the Israeli occupation.
Days before the third anniversary of the martyrdom of the IRGC's Quds Force commander, martyr Qassem Soleimani, al-Nakhalah mourned the late leader, saying: "Martyr Soleimani is truly the martyr of Al-Quds, and he truly deserves this title."
"Hajj Soleimani is always present, and he gave his soul for the liberation of Al-Quds."
