@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇱🇧 Full statement issued by Hezbollah on the death of Sayyed Hashem Safi Al-Din:

'We the nation of martyrs and mujahideen, the nation of resistance and victory, mourn a great leader and a great martyr on the road to Jerusalem, the Chairman of the Executive Council of Hezbollah, His Eminence, the scholar Sayyed Hashem Safi Al-Din, may God Almighty be pleased with him.

It is he who traveled back to his Lord with the best of his Mujahideen brothers, content, satisfactory, patient and full of reward, during a criminal, Zionist raid of aggression.‏

Sayyed Hashem joined his brother, our highest and most precious martyr, His Eminence the Secretary-General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and he was the one who comforted his brother, and was to him like Abu Al-Fadl Al-Abbas, peace be upon him, was to his brother Imam Hussein, peace be upon him. He was his supporter, the bearer of his standard, the posessor of his trust, the one who relied on him in times of adversity, and his guarantor in times of difficulties. He left while supporting the religion of God, pious, righteous, pioneering, managing, directing, leading, and martyred.‏

His Eminence Sayyed Hashem Safi Al-Din gave most of his life in the service of Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance and its community. Over the many years of his honorable life, he managed with responsibility and ability the Executive Council and its various institutions and units operating in various fields and everything related to the work of the resistance. He was close to its mujahideen, close to its masses, and loved by the families of its martyrs, until God endowed him with dignity as a martyr in the illustrious caravan of Karbala's martyrs. ‏

We extend our condolences from the Master of the Age and Time (Imam Mahdi), from His Eminence the Guardian of the Muslims, may God protect him, from the blessed seminaries throughout the Islamic world, from his Mujahideen brothers in the Islamic Resistance, and from his honorable and patient family. We ask God Almighty to grant them beautiful patience and the reward of this world and the hereafter.

We pledge to our great martyr and his brothers, the martyrs, to continue the path of resistance and jihad until the goals of freedom and victory are achieved.'

Recent attempts by the Israeli army to advance into southern Lebanese villages have been met with resistance across multiple axes:
– First Axis: From Naqoura to Maroun al-Ras, where Islamic Resistance fighters thwarted infiltration attempts and targeted enemy gatherings.
– Second Axis: In the Aita al-Shaab area, where the enemy faced heavy losses and attempts to occupy key heights were repelled.
– Third Axis: From Blida to Houla, where the enemy attempted to advance while booby-trapping houses, encountering fierce resistance.
– Fourth Axis: In the area of the 98th Division, where the infiltrating forces suffered significant casualties from resistance fighters.
– Fifth Axis: From Ghajar to Shebaa, where the Israeli army seeks to secure its positions but faces heavy fire from the Islamic Resistance.
