🟡| Statement issued by Hezbollah regarding the Israeli aggression on the government building in the city of Nabatieh:

The Israeli enemy committed a major massacre today, continuing its “Black Wednesday” crimes, by targeting the government building in the city of Nabatieh. This attack led to the martyrdom of 13 members of the State Security apparatus in a blatant and dangerous violation against an official sovereign security institution. This confirms that the enemy continues to violate all of Lebanon, its state, people, and institutions, in an attempt to inflict the greatest possible number of casualties and destruction, break the will of the steadfast people, and cover up its major failure on the battlefield.

This criminal aggression places the Lebanese state before grave responsibilities from which it cannot disassociate itself. At a time when it is rushing to seek direct negotiations with the enemy under fire, squandering leverage and the achievements recorded by the fighters on the ground under the pretext of formal sovereignty, true sovereignty is left exposed to the enemy’s missiles, aircraft, and crimes.

Amid all the concessions that have been and are being made to the enemy, despite its massacres, killings, and destruction without any reciprocal guarantees, and the ongoing efforts day and night, even under aggression, to strip legitimacy from the defensive resistance, which is a right guaranteed by the Constitution and international law, the enemy is sending a message in blood that everything is permissible in its aggression, and that every concession is met with further violation and destruction.

We condemn this brutal massacre and extend our deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and to the leadership, officers, and members of the State Security apparatus. We call on the authorities to recognize the seriousness of continuing concessions to an enemy that understands only the language of force, and to return to its natural position alongside its people and resistance. Through national unity, resilience, and steadfastness, we will overcome this aggression, and Lebanon will emerge victorious, God willing.

🇱🇧: 🇮🇷 | Message of Shaykh Naim Qassim, Secretary-General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah, on the occasion of the 40th day after the martyrdom of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei

In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful

On the 40th day following the martyrdom of the Leader, Imam Khamenei (r), we are in a state of both mourning and honor. Although the grief from this loss is immense and its pain is agonizing, the station our Leader attained in the heart of the battlefield, that is, an honorable martyrdom while continuing the path of Imam Husayn (A), is far more exalted and superior.

Our Leader firmly established the foundations of the pure Islam brought by Prophet Muhammad (S) in continuation of the line of the founder and reviver of the faith, Imam Khomeini (r), and he equipped the Ummah with the principles of steadfastness, jihad, and patience. He guided us to raise the banner of Resistance in support of Palestine and Al-Quds, and for the liberation of the occupied lands. And in accordance with the divine promise, “O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and make your feet firm” (Quran 47:7), he breathed into our beings a spirit of hope for an ultimate victory.

The martyred Imam, Leader Khamenei (r), led the entire Ummah and the Islamic Republic of Iran toward a pioneering experience of righteousness, steadfastness, and a life of dignity and freedom. He emphasized keeping up with the times, scientific advancement, and self-sufficiency. By rejecting dependence on East and West, he insisted on the right to independence and on reliance on the authentic path that connects us to the heavenly mission of Islam and the way of the Prophet (S) and the Imams.

With the assassination of the Leader, the Israeli-US enemy sought to put an end to this noble line and to shake the will of the Iranian nation and the free people devoted to the Imam and his path. But the great Iranian nation, along with the IRGC, the security forces, and the military, remained steadfast in the arena. Backed by the massive presence of the people and internal unity, they rose up on military, political, and cultural fronts. By Allah’s grace, they succeeded in selecting the Wali al-Faqeeh (Guardian Jurist), Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Mujtaba Khamenei (H), as the blessed successor to that righteous predecessor.

Under his guidance, the Islamic Republic has been able to heal its wounds and take control of the field, and by foiling the US-Zionist enemy in achieving its objectives, achieve a great victory. This has been to the point that the enemy, humiliated and resigned, has come to the negotiating table on Iran’s just terms.

Hezbollah of Lebanon and all the glorious forces in the region and the world have faith in this Guardianship (Wilayah) that began with the Holy Prophet (S) and passed through the Imams and the great scholars throughout history, until the banner is handed over to the Master of the Age and Time Imam Mahdi (A). On this path of dignity and steadfastness, Hezbollah and its Islamic Resistance have offered the Master of the Martyrs of the Ummah, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (r), and other high-ranking martyrs for the elevation of the truth, the liberation of the homeland, and human beings’ dignity.

And no matter how much sacrifice is needed, we will remain on this path. The usurping Israel will never achieve its goals, and it will not be able to establish itself to the south of our Resistance. The youth of the Resistance, with their martyrdom-seeking spirit and accompanied by our dear, pure, self-sacrificing nation, will shatter the enemy’s schemes, because Allah says, “And He made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allah is the highest” (Quran 9:40).

—Naim Qassim
