Army Chief Declares Hezbollah Leader’s Funeral a Blow to ‘Zionist Illusions’
In a powerful statement regarding the recent funeral of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Army Commander Brigadier General Abdolrahim Mousavi emphasized that the significant turnout shattered the “hollow illusions” of the “criminal Zionist gang.”
During a speech on Wednesday, Mousavi remarked, “The funeral of martyr Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah was another repudiation of the hollow illusions of the criminal Zionist gang and their supporters, including the United States.”
The funeral, which took place in Beirut on Sunday, drew hundreds of thousands of attendees from Lebanon and surrounding regions. This historic event honored both Nasrallah and his successor, Sayyed Hashem Saffieddine, who were tragically assassinated in significant Israeli airstrikes on Beirut late last year.
Mousavi further stated that every bomb dropped by the Israeli military would only serve to fuel the “sacred fire” of resistance, pushing the Zionist regime closer to its eventual collapse.
- Massive turnout: Hundreds of thousands attended the funeral.
- Historical significance: The event marked a pivotal moment for Hezbollah supporters.
- Impact of Israeli actions: Each attack is seen as a catalyst for resistance.
This poignant event highlights the ongoing tensions in the region and the resilience of those who stand against perceived oppression. The implications of such gatherings resonate deeply, showcasing solidarity among supporters and a commitment to resistance.
