Hezbollah Moving Forward More Powerfully: Official

IQNA – The assassination of the Hezbollah leader has not weakened the Lebanese resistance group but made even stronger, the head of the Intifada and al-Quds Committee of Iran’s Islamic Development Coordination Council said.

Ramezan Sharif made the remark in a meeting of the committee in Tehran on Sunday afternoon, adding that despite the assassination of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah by the Israeli regime, Hezbollah’s military structure and combat organization have been strengthened.

He referred to speculations about the regime’s ground invasion of Lebanon and said such a move will certainly be met with crushing blows the Zionists from Hezbollah.

The Israeli regime has been funded on assassination of commanders, leaders an scholars, he stated.

Sharif further described Nasrallah as a great leader who stood against the number one enemy of Palestine for three decades.

He said Nasrallah was an erudite leader both in the military and religious fields.

Under his leadership, Hezbollah inflicted defeats on the Zionist regime while Arab countries had failed to make such an achievement together before, Sharif added.

He said various programs are planned to be held in honor of Martyr Nasrallah during the five days of mourning declared in Iran after his martyrdom.

There will be a national program on Wednesday in honor of the great and wise leader of Hezbollah, he noted.

Sharif also hailed the unity of the Iranian people in condemnation of the Zionist regime and commemoration of the Hezbollah leader.

Sayed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred in a massive airstrike that Israel launched on southern Beirut on Friday using American-supplied bunker-buster bombs.

Israel’s attacks come against the backdrop of escalated tensions between the Lebanese resistance movement and the occupying entity, which included the targeted killing of top Hezbollah commanders and the detonation of telecommunication devices belonging to the Muslim resistance group.

Israel has been targeting Lebanon since October 7 last year, when it launched a genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip.

Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations, including one with a hypersonic ballistic missile, targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.

The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to keep up its operations against Israel as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war.
