Syed Hassan Nasrallah died, confirms Hezbollah

Hezbollah has confirmed the death of their secretary general Syed Hassan Nasrallah.

The 64-year old died due to an Israeli airstrike on Beirut.

“We offer our condolences to the Master of the Age (may God hasten his reappearance), the Guardian of the Muslims, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, may his shadow endure, the great authorities, the mujahideen, the believers, the nation of resistance, our patient and struggling Lebanese people, the entire Islamic nation, all the free and oppressed people in the world, and his honorable and patient family.

“We congratulate His Eminence the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, may God be pleased with him, on receiving the highest divine medal, the Imam Hussein Medal, peace be upon him, fulfilling his most precious wishes and the highest ranks of faith and pure belief, as a martyr on the path of Jerusalem and Palestine.

“We offer our condolences and congratulations to his fellow martyrs who joined his pure and holy procession following the treacherous Zionist raid on the southern suburb,” Hezbollah said in a statement.

The group that has been assaulting Israel since Oct 7 last year has pledged to continue its struggle in support of Palestine.

“The leadership of Hezbollah pledges to the highest, most sacred and most precious martyr in our journey full of sacrifices and martyrs that it will continue its jihad in confronting the enemy, in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon and its steadfast and honorable people.”

The pledge is in line with what Syed Hassan Nasrallah said in his last speech.

“I may not stay among you for a long time. Procedures have been devised so that we are prepared.

“Even if we are all martyred, even if our homes are destroyed over our heads, we will never abandon the option of Islamic resistance.”
