BEIRUT: Israel’s Jan. 18 attack on a Hezbollah convoy in Syria revealed the unity between Beirut, Damascus and Tehran, Hezbollah chief Hasan Nasrallah said Friday.
In televised comments made during a Hezbollah ceremony commemorating the death of six party fighters and an Iranian commander killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Golan Heights town of Qunaitra earlier this month, Nasrallah said that the martyrs of the Qunaitra attack reflect a “fusion of Lebanese-Iranian blood on Syrian territory, and reflects the unity of the cause and the unity of the fate of these countries.”
When blood unites Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Iran, then we will move towards an era of victory, he added.
“The martyrs of Qunaitra attack reflect at least three generations of the resistance,” Nasrallah said.
The death of Revolutionary Guard Brig. Gen. Mohammad Ali Allahdadi and Hezbollah field commander Mohammad Issa shows how commanders are present on the ground along with the fighters, he added.
And the death of Jihad Mughniyeh, son of late-Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh, shows how entire families have given themselves to the resistance, he added.
Nasrallah extended his condolences to the families of the victims and blessed the fallen fighters for their martyrdom.
The party leader also expressed his condolences over the deaths of Lebanese soldiers who killed during fierce clashes with militants in Ras Baalbek last week, likening the jihadi threat to the Israeli one.
His remarks came two days after Hezbollah retaliated to the Qunaitra attack, when troops fired anti-tank missiles towards an Israeli military convoying in the occupied Shebaa Farms, killing two soldiers.
The assembly hall that hosted the commemoration ceremony was packed with supporters waving Hezbollah flags.
The wall behind the podium was decorated with pictures of the six party fighters as well as the top Iranian general who were killed in the Israeli raid.
