On the third anniversary of the assassination of Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes, Hezbollah’s Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stressed that the blood of the martyrs has given the resistance front additional strength.
Hezbollah’s leader also said that after the assassination, the deal of the century ran into problems and resistance factions in Palestine gained popularity. He said resistance forces in the entire region have been steadily progressing over the past couple of years.
Lebanese and Palestinian factions in Lebanon commemorated the anniversary of the assassination of the two prominent leaders in several events which will continue throughout the week.
The Representative of Hezbollah’s Christian ally said that the blood of martyrs is what makes the endeavor of the resistance sacred.
Palestinian resistance movement Hamas noted that it was the direct support and training of General Soleimani that helped the resistance alliance in the entire region reach a state in which it can impose its conditions on the US and Israeli and deter their threats.
General Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, and his Iraqi companion Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy leader of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units, were martyred along with several other people in a US drone strike on January third, 2020.
"Three years have passed since the martyrdom of Hajj Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes, yet for many it is as if it occurred today. For the Leaders of the resistance, their martyrdom together seems to have given leverage to a growing regional alliance."
