Hassan Nasrallah's departure

On the same road that the martyrs: Yasser Arafat, Ahmed Yassin, Abu Ali Mustafa, Fathi Shaqaqi, Ismail Haniyeh, and dozens of their comrades and leaders of the resistance factions, departed because of it and took. Before him, Abbas al-Moussawi, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, was assassinated on February 16, 1992, by Israeli helicopters that lay in wait for his convoy on its way back to Beirut from a ceremony commemorating the martyrdom of his comrade Sheikh Ragheb Harb. They fired incendiary heat-seeking missiles at his car, killing him, his wife Siham al-Moussawi, and their son Hussein.

Martyr Abbas al-Moussawi succeeded Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah in 1992 as Secretary-General of the party, with the aim of continuing on the path until the day of his assassination by Israeli bombardment via missiles that penetrated the fortifications on Friday, September 27, 2024. He was born in the village of al-Yazouriya in southern Lebanon on August 31, 1960.

So, the martyr Hassan Nasrallah was not the first secretary who lost his life as a price for his bias, support and solidarity with the Palestinian people, with the people of Gaza, with the Palestinian resistance. Rather, he was preceded by those who chose this path, the path of confronting and standing up to the colony, regardless of their national identity and from which country they were. And whoever walked this path and chose to side with the cause of the Palestinian people to eliminate injustice and occupation, paid with his life in exchange for this national, religious, humanitarian bias in confronting the colony’s plans and its expansionist occupation programs, which targeted Palestine first and then Lebanon, and every Arab, Islamic, Christian, and historical site, to impose the colony’s hegemony and control over the rights of Arabs, Muslims and Christians in Palestine, Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth, to extend to the Syrian Golan and southern Lebanon, on the path of gradual, systematic occupation, militarily, politically and in terms of influence, so that the colony would be the sole, dominant force controlling our land, our holy places and our dignity, and preventing our right to development, progress and a stable future based on freedom and independence for our world and our Arab homeland.

The martyrdom of Hassan Nasrallah is a loss for his party and his people, just as it is a loss for Palestine, its path and its resistance, as a lever integrated into its cause, raising the slogan and behavior of support and backing for its people in Gaza, the steadfastness and resistance that was exposed to the harshest epic, massacre, tragedy, unprecedented in its size and losses and the destruction of its landmarks, making it unfit for life and normal living, after the destruction of its infrastructure of schools, buildings, streets, mosques and churches, the result of an earthquake caused by heavy shells and missiles, with deliberate intent.

What the colony did, through bombing, continued assassinations, destruction of neighborhoods and killing of civilians in an attempt to dissuade the Lebanese people from supporting and backing the Palestinian people, transferred their solidarity concerns to the act of participation, as Lebanon became a target, and made the Lebanese people and pushed them and will push them through their resistance, to the act of tangible practical participation in confronting and confronting the actions of the colony.

The colony’s success in assassinating Hassan Nasrallah was an additional episode in the series of killing leaders, in the face of those who stand against it. This is a choice that will continue, not because of adventure and hatred of life, but because these people chose to be with their people, towards exercising the right to self-determination, and in rejecting injustice and the usurpation of rights, which is what the colony represents and does against the Arab people of Palestine, and against those who stand with it.

The path to freedom has a victorious ending, no matter what obstacles, complications, obstructions and sacrifices those who walk it face. Its conclusion is victory, as happened with all peoples who struggled and gained their freedom and independence.
