Abdulsalam: Sayyed Nasrallah’s Martyrdom a Catalyst for Resistance

Ansarullah spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam extended profound condolences to Hezbollah and liberation movements worldwide over the great loss of the esteemed leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Abdulsalam stated in a statement “He achieved what he long desired after decades as a mujahid, rarely seen in history. Under his wise leadership, Israel and the arrogant powers suffered consecutive defeats. His sacred blood will be a curse that haunts the Zionist entity until its eradication.”

“Sayyed Nasrallah achieved what he long desired after decades as a mujahid, a rare figure in history. Under his wise leadership, Israel and the arrogant powers suffered consecutive defeats. His sacred blood will be a curse that haunts the Zionist entity until its eradication,” Abdulsalam said in a statement.

He added, “From being a remarkable leader of one of the world’s greatest liberation movements to becoming a leader among martyrs on the path to Al-Quds, this is the path of jihad. Allah honors His sincere servants with either victory or martyrdom, and both are forms of triumph.”

Abdulsalam emphasized that under Sayyed Nasrallah’s leadership, the nation only knew victories. He concluded his jihadist life with the ultimate victory—martyrdom. He further noted that the sorrow over Nasrallah’s passing will not weaken his brothers; instead, it will empower them to continue the path of resistance and jihad until the final victory.

Since Friday afternoon, Israeli warplanes have conducted over 30 airstrikes, targeting residential buildings in Burj al-Barajneh, Kafaat, Choueifat, Hadath, al-Laylaki, and Mreijeh. Local media report upwards of 300 casualties from the aggression.

Footage broadcast by al-Manar television channel from the crowded area of Beirut’s Dahiyeh shows flattened buildings, streets filled with rubble and clouds of smoke and dust above the area.

Martyrs’ Square, Beirut’s central public area, was crowded with exhausted and anxious families sheltering outdoors.

The recent attacks are part of the Israeli regime’s intensified assault on Lebanon, which has become more deadly this week, resulting in over 700 deaths nationwide since Monday.

The new attacks came less than a week after the Tel Aviv regime killed 38 people, including three children and seven women as well as senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil in an attack on a residential building in a southern Beirut suburb.

Sayyed Nasrallah took over Hezbollah in 1992, at the age of 32, after his predecessor Abbas al-Musawi was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon.

Under Sayyed Nasrallah’s leadership, Hezbollah continued to grow into a powerful political and military force that has fought off three Israeli wars against Lebanon– in 2000 and 2006 as well as the current ongoing conflict.

In Lebanon and across the region, Sayyed Nasrallah was revered as a charismatic leader and military strategist who had dedicated his life to resistance against Israel and supporting the Palestinian cause.
