Hezbollah confirms death of leader Hassan Nasrallah after Israeli strikes on Beirut

She put a gun to her husband’s head?
If she is a secular which means she did not care much about religion, she would not have asked her husband to convert for the sake of marriage.
Unless you are saying that her husband was already a closet Muslim.

Well let's ask them.

What exactly are you celebrating here ... genocide or demise of Hezbollah leadership ? @Champ_Pal @Bhaijaan @Hitman @deltexas
Am not celebrating anything. Have always said wars are the worst things ever. So much loss of life , lifelong handicaps, bloodshed etc. Leaders "have" to get to the table too negotiate no matter how tough or improbable it may be before starting wars. Off topic - but thats why I think George W Bush who unfortunately is from my home state was the worst world leader ever. Started 2 irresponsible wars in Afg and Iraq. And wiped out all the good will he had in the months and a year post 9/11 - touching 90% popularity. That unprecedented. No US president ever had that type of popularity or approval rating ever in their terms. And then he messed it up with the 2 wars.

Iran with its proxy Hezbollah gives these bombastic speeches but never ever does anything. A plethora of its top military leaders are being killed at whim by Israel and all they do is lip service.
 

Israel is "responsible for the catastrophic consequences" of Lebanon attacks, Jordanian foreign minister says


Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi criticized Israel for what he said was a “catastrophic” military escalation against Lebanon.

“We hold Israel fully responsible for the catastrophic consequences of its aggression on Lebanon, which it is launching brutally without any legal or humanitarian deterrent, while it continues its aggression on Gaza and its dangerous escalation in the West Bank,” Safadi said on X.

Safadi denounced Israel’s actions as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and said the bombing of its capital and the loss of civilian lives threatened the country’s stability.

He also expressed Jordan’s solidarity with the Lebanese people

The Lebanese group Hezbollah has confirmed the death of Hassan Nasrallah, its longtime leader, in an air strike on the group’s underground headquarters near the capital, Beirut.


Hours after Israel claimed killing the 64-year-old Nasrallah, the Iran-backed Hezbollah on Saturday said its leader “has joined his fellow martyrs” and pledged it would “continue the holy war against the enemy and in support of Palestine” amid fears that a regional war is now inevitable.


Israel carried out a large strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday evening, which it said targeted the Hezbollah leader, flattening at least six residential buildings.


Nasrallah had rarely been seen in public since 2006. He was elected secretary-general of Hezbollah in 1992, aged 32, after an Israeli helicopter gunship killed his predecessor, Abbas al-Musawi.


Here are some reactions to Nasrallah’s killing:



Hezbollah​


The Lebanese group confirmed in a statement its leader had been killed “following the treacherous Zionist strike on the southern suburbs” of Beirut.



It said Nasrallah had “joined his great and immortal martyred comrades, whose path he led for nearly 30 years”.


The group said it pledged “to the highest, most sacred and most precious martyr in our journey” to “continue its jihad in confronting the enemy, in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defence of Lebanon and its steadfast and honourable people”.


Hamas​


Hamas has condemned the killing of the Lebanese leader as “cowardly, terrorist act”.


“We condemn in the strongest terms this barbaric Zionist aggression and targeting of residential buildings,” the group said in a statement, accusing Israel of disregarding “all international values, customs and charters” and “blatantly threaten[ing] international security and peace, in light of silence, helplessness and international neglect”.


“In the face of this Zionist crime and massacre, we renew our absolute solidarity and stand united with the brothers in Hezbollah and the Islamic resistance in Lebanon,” the group said.


United States​


US President Joe Biden called the killing of Nasrallah “a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis and Lebanese civilians.”


Biden reiterated US support for “Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and any other Iranian-supported terrorist groups.” His statement said he had directed the defence secretary to “further enhance the defence posture of US military forces” in the region.

Fatah​


Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the “brutal Israeli aggression”.


The Palestinian Fatah movement offered condolences and emphasised “the historical relationship between the Lebanese people and their resistance and Palestine”.


Iran​


Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a statement saying Nasrallah’s killing “will only further strengthen the resistance”. He added the US cannot deny complicity.


Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared five days of mourning for the Hezbollah chief. He called on all Muslims to rise against Israel and said Nasrallah’s blood “will not go unavenged”.


“The fate of this region will be determined by the resistance with Hezbollah at the top,” Khamenei said.


The country’s foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said in a post on X that “the glorious path of the Resistance leader … will continue and his sacred goal of liberating Jerusalem will be achieved.” Iranian Vice President Mohammad Javad Zarif praised Nasrallah as a “symbol of the fight against oppression”.


Iraq​


Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani condemned the attack as “shameful” and “a crime that shows the Zionist entity has crossed all the red lines”.


In a statement, Sudani called Nasrallah “a martyr on the path of the righteous”, and declared a three-day mourning period.


It came shortly after influential Iraqi Shia Muslim leader Muqtada al-Sadr announced three days of mourning. The leader of the Sadrist movement in Iraq wrote on X: “Farewell to the companion of the path of resistance and defiance.”


Turkey​


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned Israel’s recent attacks in Lebanon as part of what he called an Israeli policy of “genocide, occupation, and invasion”, urging the UN Security Council and other bodies to stop Israel.


In a post on X, Erdogan, without naming Nasrallah, said Turkey stood with the Lebanese people and its government, offering his condolences for those killed in the Israeli strikes, while saying the Muslim world should show a more “determined” stance.


Yemen’s Houthis​


Yemen’s Houthi rebels said Nasrallah’s killing would strengthen their determination to confront their Israeli foes.


“The martyrdom of… Hassan Nasrallah will increase the flame of sacrifice, the heat of enthusiasm, the strength of resolve,” the rebels’ leadership council said in a statement, pledging to achieve “victory and the demise of the Israeli enemy”.


Lebanon​


Lebanon’s former prime minister, Saad Hariri, condemned Israel’s killing of Nasrallah, saying it “plunges Lebanon and the region into a new phase of violence”. Hariri’s father and former prime minister, Rafik Hariri, was killed in an assassination widely blamed on Hezbollah.


United Nations​


UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Saturday he was “gravely concerned” by the “dramatic escalation” seen in Lebanon in the past day as Israel targets Hezbollah in the capital Beirut, a UN spokesperson said.


“This cycle of violence must stop now, and all sides must step back from the brink. The people of Lebanon, the people of Israel, as well as the wider region, cannot afford an all-out war,” the statement said.


Guterres reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all captives held there.



Germany​


Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warned the situation in Lebanon is extremely dangerous and that the entire region could slip further into an “absolute spiral of violence”.


“The situation poses a serious threat to stability in the region, and the stability of Lebanon, and this never serves the security and interests of Israel,” Baerbock wrote on X.


France​


The French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs said in a statement that it is in contact with the Lebanese authorities and France’s partners in the region to prevent destabilisation and conflagration.


Jean-Luc Melenchon, a left-wing French politician and former Member of the European Parliament, said the assassination “is one more step towards the invasion of Lebanon and general war”.


In a post on X, he said: “France no longer counts on the ground. Netanyahu’s crimes will continue since they are unpunished. The danger is extreme for the region and the world.”



Russia​


Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a statement where it strongly condemns Israel’s killing of Nasrallah and calls on Israel to stop hostilities in Lebanon.


“This forceful action is fraught with even greater dramatic consequences for Lebanon and the entire Middle East,” the statement said.


Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the UN General Assembly he is concerned “by the now almost commonplace practice of political killings”.

The highlighted portions of the statements by Hamas, Iran & Russia are comical if the the issue was not a serious one .
 
UN chief urges all sides to step back from the brink in Lebanon

The head of the United Nations is urging all sides to “step back from the brink” following the dramatic escalation of events in Beirut over the last 24 hours, his spokesman said.

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres believes “this cycle of violence must stop now”, Stephane Dujarric said. “The people of Lebanon, the people of Israel, as well as the wider region, cannot afford an all-out war.”

Guterres urged both sides to recommit to the full implementation of the 2006 UN Security Council resolution that ended the Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon, “and immediately return to a cessation of hostilities”, Dujarric said.

Hezbollah must surrender alongwith hamas

They have been sold down the river by the iranians

Since nasrullah has now been killed hezbollah directly needs to contact usa and un and disarm and hand over all weapons for peace and dismantle the group that way israel will have no choice but to stop attacking once there are no attacks on northern israel the un and usa will stop israel from any expansionist invasion.

As for gaza hamas will have to disarm and surrender and handover the leaders to israel

There's no point getting your whole people massacred for a handful of wanted individuals.
I'm not sure what the end game is here. Will killing all these palestinians and lebanese make the zionist population safer?

Security won't be achieved by murder death and destruction

They've just escalated matters 100 fold. It's done the opposite.

They've assassinated hundreds of arab leaders over the years and it's not achieved security for Israel

For every Nasrallah killed another several will step up in his place The resistance will continue

Yemen's Houthis say they attacked Israel, US destroyers​


Reuters) -Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militants said on Friday they had targeted the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Ashkelon along with three U.S. destroyers in the Red Sea with missiles and drones in support of Gaza and Lebanon.

The Israeli army said it had intercepted a missile fired from Yemen which had triggered sirens to sound in central Israel.

The Houthis' military spokesperson said operations would not halt until Israel's offensives in Gaza and Lebanon stop. The group attacked Tel Aviv with a ballistic missile and launched a drone towards Ashkelon in southern Israel, Yahya Sarea said.


"We will carry out more military operations against the Israeli enemy to triumph for the sake of our brothers' blood in Palestine and Lebanon," he added in a televised speech.

Sarea also said, in a separate televised speech, that the group had simultaneously targeted three U.S. destroyers in the Red Sea with 23 ballistic and winged missiles and a drone while the vessels were on their way to support Israel.

U.S. Navy warships going through the Bab al-Mandab Strait intercepted a number of projectiles, including missiles and drones, fired by the Houthis, a U.S. official said.

The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity and citing initial information which can change, said there was no damage to any of the three warships in the area.


Israeli strikes have killed more than 600 people in Lebanon since Monday, with the conflict between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah at its most intense in more than 18 years.

Hezbollah has been firing rockets into Israel for almost a year in support of allied Palestinian militant group Hamas, which is fighting Israel in Gaza. More than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli assault on Gaza, according to health officials there. The war was triggered by an attack on Israel by Hamas militants who killed 1,200 people and abducted more than 250 hostages according to Israeli tallies.

The Israelis have shown how great of a military force they are. All it took was a few long years and hundreds of thousands dead for them to finally get Nasrallah, we got him guys! Woohoo! Plus we get to see how gleefully happy the Hindutva are by seeing women and children get blown to bits. Everybody’s a winner.

Houthis appear like those enthusiastic kids who want to fight but are underage for military yet
 
I'm guessing he was referring to Islamism
Whats Islamism?
Sure doesn’t sound like is saying that, he is insinuating and insulting (like his usual behaviour) Muslims.
After all, those religions that came before Islam would be more closer to the stone age than islam itself, would you agree
 
And so much for Irans bombastic statements :


Exclusive: Iran's supreme leader taken to secure location, sources say

DUBAI, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been taken to a secure location inside Iran amid heightened security, sources told Reuters, a day after Israel killed the head of Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah in a strike on Beirut.
The move to safeguard Iran's top decision-maker is the latest show of nervousness by the Iranian authorities as Israel launched a series of devastating attacks on Hezbollah, Iran's best armed and most well-equipped ally in the region.

Reuters reported this month that Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards Corps, the ideological guardians of the Islamic Republic, had ordered all of members to stop using any type of communication devices after thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah blew up.
Lebanon and Hezbollah say Israel was behind the pager and walkie-talkie attacks. Israel neither denied nor confirmed involvement.

The two regional officials briefed by Tehran and who told Reuters that Khamenei had been moved to a safe location also said Iran was in contact with Hezbollah and other regional proxy groups to determine the next step after Nasrallah's killing.

The sources declined to be identified further due to the sensitivity of the matter.
As well as killing Nasrallah, Friday's strikes by Israel on Beirut killed Revolutionary Guards' deputy commander Abbas Nilforoushan, Iranian media reported on Saturday. Other Revolutionary Guard's commanders have also been killed since the Gaza War erupted last year and violence flared elsewhere.

Khamenei issued a statement later on Saturday, following Israel's announcement that Nasrallah had been killed, saying: "The fate of this region will be determined by the forces of resistance, with Hezbollah at the forefront."
"The blood of the martyr shall not go unavenged," he said in a separate statement, in which he announced five days of mourning to mark Nasrallah's death.
Nasrallah's death is a major blow to Iran, removing an influential ally who helped build Hezbollah into the linchpin of Tehran's constellation of allied groups in the Arab world.

Iran's network of regional allies, known as the 'Axis of Resistance', stretch from Hezbollah in Lebanon to Hamas in Gaza, Iran-backed militias in Iraq and the Houthis in Yemen.
Hamas has been fighting a war with Israel for almost a year, since its fighters stormed into Israel on Oct. 7.
Hezbollah has been engaged in exchanges of fire across the Lebanese border throughout the Gaza War and has repeatedly said it would not stop until there was a ceasefire in Gaza.

After the pager and walkie-talkies strikes, one Iranian security official told Reuters that a large-scale operation was underway by the Revolutionary Guards to inspect all communications devices. He said most of these devices were either homemade or imported from China and Russia.
The official said Iran was concerned about infiltration by Israeli agents, including Iranians on Israel's payroll and a thorough investigation of personnel has already begun, targeting mid and high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Guards.
In another statement on Saturday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the United States had played a role in Nasrallah's killing as a supplier of weapons to Israel.
"The Americans cannot deny their complicity with the Zionists," he said in the statement carried by state media.
 
You need to be more specific. Do you justify Israeli extremists who have killed over 40k innocent civilians which majority are women and children?
No something like that can never be justified, it's a tragedy but who is responsible for a situation where a large part of the world isn't even bothered (baring lip service) of something as horrible as 1000s of women and kids dying? The same terrorists groups who have been supported by these very people who are today dying. This current situation has no precedents, the retaliation by israel post oct 7th Hamas attack, whether good or bad, is one for the history books.
 
They never miss a chance or two to show who they really are. If she is a journalist, then I am pope.
They have the right to celebrate and relish 7th of October last year. But when people celebrate when Israel eliminates animals of Hamas and Hezbollah they become Islamophobe.
 

Biden says killing of Hezbollah leader in Israeli airstrike is ‘measure of justice’ for his victims​


President Joe Biden called the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah “a measure of justice” for the thousands of civilians that he and the terrorist organization killed over the last three decades.

“Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror,” Biden said in a statement. “His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis, and Lebanese civilians.”

 

Body of Hezbollah leader has been recovered, sources say​


The body of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has been recovered from the site of an Israeli air attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs and is intact, a medical source and a security source told Reuters on Sunday.

While Hezbollah’s statement on Saturday confirming Nasrallah’s death did not say how exactly he was killed nor when his funeral would be, the two sources said his body had no direct wounds and that it appeared the cause of death was blunt trauma from the force of the blast.

 
I saw videos of Syrians are celebrating his death. Also, some Iranian folks gathered infront of Israeli embassy in London thanking them for killing him.

I am bit confused. Did they liked him or hated him?
 
One of the modern great resistance leaders . In the early 80s the resistance was formed to remove Zionists occupying Beirut . They drove them out & built a formidable resistance power again the land theives.

Killing a specific person makes no difference, humans will always continue to defend themselves from occupiers .

Hezbollah will be more aggressive now . It maybe wiser to wait for the invasion before unleashing hundreds of missiles on tel Aviv , Israel the outpost for the first time as a functioning society is falling apart .

Huge military power difference but what he defined , huge difference in heart & bravery compared to idf . 2006 hezbbollah defeated them , 2024 their missiles can destroy large cities in the outpost
 

‘More than 20’ Hezbollah members killed alongside Nasrallah: Israel​


The Israeli military said on Sunday the strike that killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah this week in Beirut also “eliminated" more than 20 other members of the Lebanese armed group.

“More than 20 other terrorists of varying ranks, who were present at the underground headquarters in Beirut located beneath civilian buildings, and were managing Hezbollah’s terrorist operations against the state of Israel, were also eliminated,” the military said in a statement that listed some of them.

According to the statement, Ibrahim Hussein Jazini and Samir Tawfiq Dib who were “among Nasrallah’s closest associates” had been killed.

“Due to their proximity to him, they served a significant role in the day-to-day operations of Hezbollah and Nasrallah in particular,” it said.

Hezbollah on Saturday confirmed Nasrallah’s death, and on Sunday said Ali Karake, the group’s top commander in south Lebanon, were killed in the Friday attack.

Other names listed by the Israeli military include Abed al-Amir Muhammad Sablini and Ali Nayef Ayoub.

In recent days, Israel has shifted the focus of its military operations from Gaza to Lebanon, after nearly a year of low-level cross-border fire with Hezbollah, killing hundreds in Lebanon.

The group began firing on Israel in what it described as a show of solidarity with ally Hamas a day after the Palestinian militant group’s unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel, which triggered war in the Gaza Strip.

So indiscriminately firing rockets and killing civilians is ok then? Thats fine. They then have to be prepared for the retaliation by Israel which will not be equal and Hezbollah should then not be screaming ceasefire. Has Hezbollah ever advocated for good schools, proper education, good hospitals to be built etc etc. Anything constructive or is it only about killing the israeli and wiping them out??

It’s a very weaj argument when israel indiscriminately is murdering women & children by the tens of thousands a few miles away .

Its weak bcos a question is asked and I need help ?? Is that the logic? If Israel and Hamas are in a war , why should Hezbollah drag Lebanon into it ? Hezbollah fired close to afaik 5000 rockets the past 10 months on Israel. So, Israel supposed to just stand and not protect its citizens? Again why dont they get to the negotiating table - tough sure but take Saudis help Qatars help etc.. Never ever said the talks will be easy.

Also your Israel indiscriminate statement ? Saudi killed hundreds of thousands ( 100,000 plus) in Syria/Yemen and displaced millions. Why no outcry ? Because it was Muslims killing muslims ? Isnt that shallow ?

My opinion : For all its bravado talk, Iran is not stupid like Iraq/Saddam Hussein. They know a war with Israel is indirectly a war with US. And that their economy will be decimated in a war with Israel. They know they will become another war torn country and will take decades if ever to recover . Hence their proxy wars. No way is Iran getting a war directly with Israel. Their talk is all for the local public consumption. But ironically, the Iranian public is pretty liberal who are being ruled by these religious mullahs - a total disconnect. SSo a war with Israel will totally destabilize Iran.

The claim that Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) in Iraq were a fabricated pretext for war is a sentiment widely shared by many, particularly after the post-invasion failure to find such weapons. The Iraq War indeed saw significant opposition, not only in the Middle East but also from millions of people in the West who took to the streets in protest before military action commenced.

As for Iran, while the geopolitical landscape is complex, the possibility of fabricating excuses for military intervention isn’t outside the realm of speculation, considering historical precedents. However, Iran presents a different dynamic than Iraq, both regionally and internally. While there may be factions within Iran that oppose the current regime and could theoretically support external intervention, it’s also clear that any such intervention would be highly contentious, likely sparking massive regional instability, and drawing wide international debate. Whether certain Iranians would welcome such action is subject to much nuance and debate. Public sentiment within Iran varies, and while some may oppose their government, this does not necessarily equate to support for foreign military intervention.

The complexities of modern geopolitics mean that interventionist actions are rarely clear-cut and tend to lead to long-term consequences that often extend far beyond the initial objectives.

Also I don’t believe Iran will be directly engaged until Hezbullah completely destroyed and Lebanon occupied.
 

Israel used US-made bomb in attack on Hezbollah head, US senator says​


The bomb that Israel used to kill Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut last week was an American-made guided weapon, a U.S. senator said on Sunday.

Mark Kelly, chair of the Senate Armed Services Airland Subcommittee, said Israel used a 2,000-lb (900-kg) Mark 84 series bomb, during an interview with NBC. His statement marks the first U.S. indication of what weapon had been used.

"We see more use of guided munitions, JDAMs, and we continue to provide those weapons," Kelly said, using an abbreviation that stands for Joint Direct Attack Munitions. "That 2,000-pound bomb that was used, that's a Mark 84 series bomb, to take out Nasrallah," he said.

The Israeli military said on Saturday it had eliminated Nasrallah in a strike on the group's central command headquarters in Beirut's southern suburbs. The Israeli military has declined to comment on what weapons were used in the attack. The Pentagon was not immediately available for comment.

JDAMs convert a standard unguided bomb using fins and a GPS guidance system into a guided weapon. The U.S. is Israel's longtime ally and biggest arms supplier.

 
Also, why is there sympathy here for a terrorist being killed ? He brought on suffering for Lebanon and its people. Was a designated terrorist ..Dont know what else to say .

No sympathy for any terrorist whether in suit with advanced military or rag wearing mullah.

The question is how can anyone support a regime that believe in occupation, ethnic cleaning and genocide.

If Bhagat Singh was a Muslim today then many would be calling him a terrorist too.

FWIW- bhagat Singh didn't kill innocent civilians, was not a religious zealot, fought the British army and not their families harming them , was not a misogynist, faced up to court and died being convincted by British led court. He didn't die holed up in a bunker like a rat hiding amongst innocent civilians putting their lives at risk like lambs to slaughter.. probably hard for you to comprehend I guess..

Than any group?? Bro- you got to brush up your history. Forget old history- saudi killed 350000 plus recently in Syria/ yemen and displaced 10s of millions. Uyghurs are horrendously treated by china. Taliban killed thousands of people and are an oppressive group. And your ownGen Musharraf killed thousands of pak soldiers for kargil war, didnt even acknowledge their corpses, and also sacrificed them against taliban at the order of US gov... so blame all these instead of being selective and screaming victim victim all the time...

And your ownGen Musharraf killed thousands of pak soldiers for kargil war, didnt even acknowledge their corpses, and also sacrificed them against taliban at the order of US gov... so blame all these instead of being selective and screaming victim victim all the time...
Sure.

If he was a Muslim resisting against occupation, ethnic cleaning, genocide, Palestinian children kidnapping by army in uniform, and children shot in the head by the snipper then he would be labeled as a terrorist in 2024 and most Hindutva would be happy to call him terrorist.
 
I guess it's pretty clear now then; almost all the pakistanis on pakpassion see Hamas, Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda as noble resistance fighters. 😮
lol, no!

Well, if Pakpassion is to be believed, it’s crystal clear that Hindutva supporters, Hindus, and Indians are totally at peace with genocide, ethnic cleansing, and occupation, as long as the unfortunate targets happen to be Muslims. How... morally selective of them!

You didn't address a.single thing i said in my pist and you go off on a tangential hyperbole. Of thats what you want to bunker up in - thats fine.
 
And the Indians on here see a colonist outpost that commits apartheid, ethnic cleansing and brutal terrorism and murder as just

Bhagat Singh and the freedom fighters of india will be turning in their grave

You say colonial outpost. Well pak is one of the bigger beneficiaries of US foreign aid.. they sacrificed their soldiers in the name of war on terror going against Taliban which they themselves had nurtured. If tomorrow US orders pak to send their soldiers to Lebanon- do you think pak will refuse? Food for thought i suppose. Thats the reality of geopolitics. Yeah bhagat Singh will be turning in his grave seeing what pak has become because he fought for freedom for all- hindus muslims sikhs etc.. he didnt wage a religious war..
 
Who will likely replace Nasrallah as Hezbollah chief?

Hezbollah's leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah was killed by an Israeli airstrike on Beirut, leaving a vacuum inside a movement that suffered losses among its ranks due to months of Israeli assassinations.

Nasrallah became Hezbollah's secretary-general in 1992 at the age of 35 after which he led the movement for the majority of its existence.

There are two leading figures who are being considered to Nasrallah’s successor — Hashem Safieddine and Naim Qassem. Here's what you need to know about them.

Hashem Safieddine

Hashem Safieddine, a potential successor to his slain cousin Nasrallah, is one of Hezbollah's most prominent figures and has deep religious and family ties to the movement's patron Iran.

Safieddine bears a striking resemblance to his charismatic maternal cousin Nasrallah but is several years his junior, aged in his late 50s or early 60s.

A source close to Hezbollah, requesting anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to the media, said the grey-bearded, bespectacled Safieddine was the "most likely" candidate for party’s top job.

The United States and Saudi Arabia put Safieddine, who is a member of Hezbollah's powerful decision-making Shura Council, on their respective lists of designated "terrorists" in 2017.

The US Treasury described him as "a senior leader" in Hezbollah and "a key member" of its executive.

While Hezbollah deputy chief Naim Qassem automatically takes over the Hezbollah leadership after Nasrallah’s death, the Shura Council must meet to elect a new secretary-general.

Safieddine has strong ties with Iran after undertaking religious studies in Qom.

His son is married to the daughter of General Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ foreign operations arm who was killed in a 2020 US strike in Iraq.

Safieddine has the title of Sayyed, his black turban marking him, like Nasrallah, as a descendant of the Prophet Mohammed.

Unlike Nasrallah, who lived in hiding for years, Safieddine has appeared openly at recent political and religious events.

Naim Qassem

Qassem, Hezbollah’s deputy secretary-general, is also at the pole position, who has been noted as the group’s "number two".

The 71-year-old was among the founding members of the fighter group in the early 1980s. He’s regarded as Hezbollah’s one of the foundational religious scholars, who has taught religious students at Beirut for decades.

Qassem used to look after the fighters' educational matters and also oversaw their parliamentary activities.

The Iran-backed group’s co-founder and then-secretary general Abbas al-Musawi elected him deputy secretary-general in 1991.

I think Israel wants a big war. It is why they are trying to provoke different parties (including Hezbollah).

"Greater Israel Project" comes to mind.

Israel wants to eliminate everyone that is a direct threat or potential threat to their existence.

Saudis, Emiratis were smart and realized the future. They made peace with Israel and will not get into a fight that will lead their nations no where.

At this point, Saudis, Emiratis are enjoying the kicking that Iran and its proxies are getting. What they want to do, but cannot, Israel is doing it for them for free. All Saudis have to do is grab popcorn and watch Iranian regime crumble.
 
The Hindudva extrmsit here are so loving the massacre of indigenous women and children. What a miserable lot they are, throughly disgusting. Both Hindudva extrmsists and Israelis have a lot in common with killing indigenous to steal land

Were your types enjoying popcorn when the Israeli Europeans were escaping their other beloved Europeans when they came begging to Palestinians for refuge? If history has taught us anything then it's that brutal regimes are always bound to fall, Resistance isn't going anywhere until Israel stops it's terrorism, occupation, land theft and genocide. You think thousands they have killed and millions destroyed will just sit around? Best alternative to this menace would have been if those boats filled with Europeans were sent to India instead of Palestine, then seeing your nation going through it all would have been a popcorn moment I assume? You actually went through all that under the British menace but you are mentally enslaved to the West and your deeply rooted islamophobia has blinded your senses to see who is the victim here and who is the occupying genocidal maniacs the Israelis. Israelism is bound to face the end like Nazis, world is collectively hating on them other than their fans in Texas and enslaved Hindustanis

lol,

So, here we are again, pointing out the glaringly obvious. Hindutva supporters are all for genocide as long as the target is Muslim. I mean, let’s be honest, if Bhagat Singh had been Muslim in 1800, these folks would’ve slapped a ‘terrorist’ label on him faster than you can say ‘freedom fighter.’

But hey, I guess it’s not exactly rocket science, unless, of course, Hindutva believes that ethnic cleansing and genocide are part of some exclusive VIP package, signed off by the gods themselves. You know, ‘Special Privileges for the Chosen Ones.

Lol, Netanyahu is revered by white evangelicals and Hindutva of India.

Indians are the ones supporting the Israel. Middle East is only regarded retarded among miserable brainwashed islamophobes like you who boot lick the western media and propaganda of its proxy wars and invasions. It's just the same way how the world thinks of India as dirty, smelly, unhygienic, stinky, sanghi extremists, rapist people etc etc you get the point so guess must be right, right? Just going by your logic again....

You folks are so shameless to cheer on the thoussnds of indigenous Palestinians women and children dying and being thrown out of their homes for 75 years just becsuse you can't stand the sight of Muslims. Miserable hatefilled bunch

This is why Syrians, Lebanese people are out on the streets celebrating the death of Nasrallah while some resident Pakistani posters are crying over it.

Question for Hindutva and Indian Hindus: Why is it that when an elected official orders snipers to go for headshots on kids, kidnaps them, and tortures them, he magically avoids the ‘terrorist’ label? I mean, is there some secret handbook where these actions get classified as ‘heroic leadership’ instead of, you know, textbook terrorism?

Lol fox news or cnn told you that? Every Lebanese I have met hates Israeli terror state, and don't even bother with Syrian as they have resisted the Western invasions despite the menace. Stick with your propaganda based media since you are the same sheeps who are fed nonsense about proxy wars to justify invasions, occupations and killings of millions to steal resources and land, who bought things like Iraq had WMD, and that bunch of cavemen took down 3 towers, and that Muslim bogeyman are out to get the world. Islamophobic sheeps.

Weren't the majority UN just walked out on Netanyahu when he came to speak? All those nations must be celebrating too like you sanghis I assume

Hamas leader killed in Israeli air strike in Lebanon

Hamas says its leader in Lebanon has been killed in an air attack in the country’s south as official media reported a strike on a Palestinian refugee camp.

“Fatah Sharif Abu al-Amine, the leader of Hamas … in Lebanon and member of the movement’s leadership abroad” was killed in a strike on his “home in the Al-Bass camp in south Lebanon”, a Hamas statement said.

Lebanon’s National News Agency reported an air raid on the camp near the southern city of Tyre.

Hezbollah’s deputy chief to speak in first address after Nasrallah’s killing​


Lebanon’s Hezbollah deputy secretary-general, Naim Qassem, will give a speech at noon local time, the group announced in a statement, in the first address by a Hezbollah official since party leader, Hassan Nasrallah was killed.

Qassem’s speech on Monday comes days after Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli strike on Friday.

Israel has in recent days escalated its attacks on Lebanon and the intensifying Israeli bombardment over two weeks has killed a string of top Hezbollah officials.

The Israeli army on Sunday claimed that the strike that killed Nasrallah this week also “eliminated” more than 20 other members. Hezbollah had confirmed in a statement that Ali Karaki, the group’s top commander in south Lebanon, was also killed in the Friday attack.

 

Ideologies can never be suppressed​

====

For every Nasrallah who falls, many more will emerge​

Tyrants will always be overthrown in time. It’s inevitable. Benjamin Netanyahu’s madness is a greater threat to Israel than anything else. And if this statement was not self-explanatory, then the latest insane actions in Lebanon of the Netanyahu-led government and the killing of Hassan Nasrallah and more than 700 innocent civilians, and counting, is a manifestation of it. Nasrallah’s political murder — “assassination” — means that the war which started ostensibly as a retaliatory measure against Hamas in Gaza almost a year ago, has turned into an intractable mess that may well result in nothing but the end of Israel.

Ideologies tend to persist more than individuals, and often determine the fate of nations and movements. The loss of Nasrallah looks too big to digest at the moment, but in the grand scheme of things it is just a bump in the road for the resistance forces in their ultimate aim of securing total freedom from the oppression of the settler-colonial, Zionist state of Israel.

Such disruptions are nothing new. The assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. in 1965 and 1968 respectively appeared to be a big blow to the civil rights movement in the US, but they couldn’t kill the movement. It took time, but Barack Obama eventually became the first black US president. Likewise, the US killed a number of Taliban leaders and officials during their 20-year occupation and war in Afghanistan, but American troops had to pull out via a diplomatic agreement. The bottom line is that brute force can never be your saviour. This is a hard fact that the Zionist regime has yet to learn.

Nasrallah’s martyrdom thus provides new impetus to the Arab resistance against the Israeli regime. His name is currently trending on social media, with millions of related tweets. This surge in interest is particularly visible in Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq, where there have been large protests against Israel’s air strikes in Beirut. Contrary to Israel’s expectations, therefore, the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah is likely to galvanise the resistance movements; Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen have already vowed to retaliate. Legitimate resistance against the Zionist occupation enjoys overwhelming support around the world.

Israel’s miscalculations about strengthening its security have been disastrous.

Its killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh has inspired the Palestinian struggle and Nasrallah’s murder will do the same in Lebanon. Even Iran has warned of an inevitable response. Far from bringing peace and security to the occupation state, Netanyahu and his far-right regime have taken the region closer to all-out war.

Aside from the predictable expressions of support from the likes of the US, with the tired claim about Israel’s “right to self-defence”, the occupation state’s actions have been condemned widely. Iraq called its recent air strikes in Lebanon a “shameful crime”, while Russia is already holding the Zionist regime responsible for any “subsequent escalation”. Israel’s damning diplomatic isolation was also evident during Netanyahu’s address to the UN General Assembly last week.

Moreover, on the economic front, Israel is also suffering badly. The Gaza genocide alone is projected to cause a $400 billion loss in Israel’s potential economic activity for the next decade, with a $16bn loss already recorded in the first quarter of 2024. And Israel’s killing of tens of thousands of civilians in occupied Palestine, as well as its strikes in Lebanon, have poured cold water on its “Abraham Accords” agenda and normalisation of ties with Arab states.
Israel is the illegitimate child of imperialism.

The more oppressive it is, the more that freedom fighters are the result. Individuals can be killed, but the legitimate quest for freedom from occupation and oppression can never die. For every Nasrallah who falls, many more will emerge. The Occupation state will always be at odds with the likes of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis until and unless it engages in dialogue and ends the illegal occupation of Palestinian and Lebanese territories.

Former Israeli officials have conceded that their government cannot overcome the hostilities in Middle East, but Netanyahu is adamant about his “mad dog” rampage in the region as he clings to power in order to evade trial on corruption charges on continued rampage just to evade the trial of corruption charges against him and augment his eroded political clout.

“This business of destroying Hamas, making Hamas disappear — it’s simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public,” said Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari. “Hamas is an idea, Hamas is a party. It’s rooted in the hearts of the people. Anyone who thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong.”

This is why Netanyahu is viewed increasingly as a significant threat to Israel’s stability. Public discontent is rising due to his handling of the situation in Gaza and other regional conflicts, with around 70 per cent of Israelis believing that he should resign. His refusal to negotiate a ceasefire, prioritising military control over humanitarian concerns, has fuelled protests and accusations of sacrificing Israeli as well as Palestinian citizens for his own political survival.

Essentially, therefore, Israel under Netanyahu is on a suicide mission with everything pointing to its failure to achieve its stated objectives. The actions of the Zionist regime have not eradicated the resistance movements; they have served to boost them as they strive to counter the negative regional influences of the apartheid regime.

 
Its weak bcos a question is asked and I need help ?? Is that the logic? If Israel and Hamas are in a war , why should Hezbollah drag Lebanon into it ? Hezbollah fired close to afaik 5000 rockets the past 10 months on Israel. So, Israel supposed to just stand and not protect its citizens? Again why dont they get to the negotiating table - tough sure but take Saudis help Qatars help etc.. Never ever said the talks will be easy.

Also your Israel indiscriminate statement ? Saudi killed hundreds of thousands ( 100,000 plus) in Syria/Yemen and displaced millions. Why no outcry ? Because it was Muslims killing muslims ? Isnt that shallow ?

You were upset of killing civilians but you support it an entity who murdered , tortured, raped & occupies millions . What you support is evil , so it’s clear you don’t care for any innocent peoples deaths .

I’m no fan of Saudi , this is another idiotic statement.

If someone comes to kick you & your family out , you’d leave & even agree if it was Zionists . Have some shame

Is this is a battle of ideology or resistance against settlers? I am confused.

Are you saying if the settlers were muslims, the likes of Hamas & Hezbollah wouldn't have any issues? Just bcoz they are jews (different ideology), it is a problem?

I mean I know the answer but still asking (as always)!

Good that you already know it. Will save me time.
 
Pakistanis have a massive antisemitism problem, an intense hatred of the Jew. I don't know where it comes from.
 
Don't muddle and mix things. Jew and Zions are two separate entities.

That is an ironic statement given how you muddle and mix things and don't see the difference between muslims and islamists. They are two separate entities.
