Today, Saturday, the Lebanese Hezbollah mourned its Secretary-General, the Master of Resistance, the righteous servant Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who passed away to be with his Lord and to be pleased with Him as a great martyr, a heroic, daring, brave, wise, insightful, and faithful leader, joining the caravan of martyrs of the eternal, luminous Karbala in the divine, faith-based path in the footsteps of the martyred prophets and imams.
Hezbollah said in a statement today: “Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, has joined his great immortal martyred comrades, whose path he led for nearly 30 years, during which he led them from victory to victory, succeeding the Master of the Martyrs of the Islamic Resistance in 1992 until the liberation of Lebanon in 2000 and to the glorious divine victory in 2006 and all the battles of honor and sacrifice, arriving at the battle of support and heroism in support of Palestine, Gaza, and the oppressed Palestinian people.”
Hezbollah’s statement added: “We offer our condolences to the Master of the Age (may God hasten his reappearance), the Guardian of the Muslims, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, may his shadow endure, the great authorities, the mujahideen, the believers, the nation of resistance, our patient and struggling Lebanese people, the entire Islamic nation, all the free and oppressed people in the world, and his honorable and patient family. We congratulate His Eminence the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, may God be pleased with him, on receiving the highest divine medal, the Imam Hussein Medal, peace be upon him, fulfilling his most precious wishes and the highest ranks of faith and pure belief, as a martyr on the path to Jerusalem and Palestine. We offer our condolences and congratulations to his fellow martyrs who joined his pure and holy procession following the treacherous Zionist raid on the southern suburb.”
He stressed that "the leadership of Hezbollah pledges to the highest, most sacred and most precious martyr in our journey full of sacrifices and martyrs that it will continue its jihad in confronting the enemy, in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon and its steadfast and honorable people."
The Lebanese Hezbollah concluded its statement by saying: “To the honorable mujahideen and the victorious and triumphant heroes of the Islamic Resistance, you are the trust of the martyred Sayyed, and you are his brothers who were his impregnable shield and the jewel in the crown of heroism and sacrifice. Our leader, His Eminence, is still among us with his thought, spirit, line, and sacred approach, and you are committed to the pledge of loyalty and commitment to resistance and sacrifice until victory.”
Sayyid Nasrallah Is A Sign of Allah | Shaheed Haj Qasem
Farsi Sub English
Hezbollah is a social and political movement with a strong armed wing. It was formed in 1980s. Hezbollah’s creation was conditioned by the aspiration of the Shia population of Lebanon to meet the challenges of Israeli expansion and Western “new-style” colonialism.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was elected as Secretary-General of Hezbollah Resistance Movement in Lebanon on February 16, 1992, when he was only 32 years old. Nasrallah was elected as Secretary-General of Hezbollah Resistance Movement after Seyyed Abbas Mousavi who was assassinated by Zionists. Mousavi was assassinated by Zionist fighter jets while returning from the commemoration ceremony of the martyrdom of "Sheikh Ragheb Harb" who was a Lebanese leader and Muslim cleric.
After the appointment of Nasrallah as Secretary-General, this Resistance group witnessed a lot of progress. It was during the leadership of Nasrallah that Hezbollah was able to access long-range missiles for the first time. Hezbollah used the same missiles to target the northern axis of the occupied lands and territories during the Secretary-Generalship of Nasrallah. This event happened in 1993.
The increased power of the Lebanese Hezbollah Movement during the leadership of Nasrallah caused Zionists to be determined to destroy and annihilate this Resistance group in Lebanon. Hence, they (Zionists) targeted southern Lebanon and severely damaged its infrastructure. The main and basic goal of Zionists was to destroy Hezbollah or at least to prevent its growing progress. However, Zionists became desperate and were unable to destroy Hezbollah's weapons and arsenal which had been provided during Nasrallah.
Hezbollah's show of strength against Zionists caused a great deal of discord and division among military commanders of the Zionist regime. The main reason for these differences was the blows that Zionists received from the Resistance group in Lebanon. Some Zionist commanders believed that Hezbollah should be dismantled as soon as possible while others believed that any conflict with this Resistance group is tantamount to committing suicide since Hezbollah enjoyed increasing military power.
The unconditional withdrawal of Zionists from southern Lebanon in 2000 was one of the biggest blows inflicted on them (Zionists) by the Lebanese Hezbollah. Now, more than two decades have passed since then, but Zionists still have not forgotten the bitter taste of defeat because they believe that that defeat laid the foundation for future defeats of Zionism in Lebanon and the region. Therefore, it can be said that the greatest achievement of Nasrallah during his leadership over Hezbollah was to strengthen the military power of this Resistance group and to break the myth of invincibility of Zionism.
Formation of Hezbollah Resistance Movement in Lebanon
The Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement was formed in 1985. At the beginning of its establishment, Hezbollah was forming the basic and fundamental structure of the Amal Movement. Hezbollah left Amal Movement in protest of the participation of this Movement led by Nabih Berri in the Lebanese National Salvation Committee in June 1983 to form a new structure which it called the "Islamic Amal Movement."
The Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the occupation of half of the country's land and territory was a turning point for the emergence of Hezbollah. At the same time, with the defeat and retreat of Palestinian Resistance groups and Lebanese left-wing parties and defeat of theories of Arab nationalism and leftist ideologies, the ground was prepared for the emergence of Hezbollah as the only option to counter the occupation. In February 1985, a few years after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, Seyyed Abbas Mousavi announced the existence of the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement instead of the Islamic Amal Movement and many Shiites joined the Movement.
2 - Decisive and Crucial Operations of Hezbollah
Hezbollah was formed at a time when there were significant obstacles ahead of the success of the Movement. But two major operations made Hezbollah the largest socio-military Movement in Lebanon and West Asia:
* The humiliating expulsion of occupiers from southern Lebanon in 2000
When Hezbollah was formed in Lebanon, no one imagined that 15 years later it would be able to make the first surprise against Israel.
After occupying large parts of Palestine, the Zionist regime sought to occupy other countries as well. Following this greed, Zionists invaded Lebanon in June 1982 and occupied half of Lebanon’s land and territory. The occupation continued until Hezbollah finally expelled Zionists from southern Lebanon in 2000.
* 33-day war
Hezbollah's second surprise came after the Zionist army's disgraceful defeat from the Hezbollah group in 2000 and the humiliating expulsion of occupiers from southern Lebanon. For the first time in decades, the Israeli army suffered a major defeat in a direct confrontation in the 2006 war. The victory of Hezbollah in the 33-day war erased the myth of invincibility of the Israeli army forever. In fact, Hezbollah's victory in 2006 and in 33-day war created an equation that made the Zionist regime not have the courage to attack Lebanon in the last 15 years.
Current Power of Hezbollah Resistance Movement
But with the elapse of almost four decades after Hezbollah began its activities, the Movement has emerged as a decisive force and has been able to bring about fundamental changes in equations of war. Hezbollah is no longer a Movement that had only a few thousand forces and its scope of activity was very limited. Nasrallah has recently revealed for the first time that Hezbollah is equipped with 100,000 trained, experienced and skilled fighters who are ready to confront any aggression both inside and outside Lebanon.
In addition, Hezbollah had about 15,000 missiles during the 2006 war and the number of these missiles has increased to a great extent since then. According to the latest estimates, the total number of Hezbollah’s missiles have reached 130,000 up to 170,000. The “Jerusalem Post” Daily in a report last year considered Hezbollah in Lebanon “as a major threat to the Zionist regime” and acknowledged the Resistance group's high missile capability. The Newspaper wrote that Hezbollah has the ability to fire 4,000 missiles and rockets in any upcoming war with the Zionist regime. In the 33-day war in 2006, it fired less than 4,000 missiles and Hezbollah’s surface-to-surface missile exceeds 95 percent of the world's armies.
Hezbollah becoming a role model in region
Hezbollah Movement has now become a role model for the Resistance groups. In addition to the military arena, it has entered the political arena and parliamentary election process and has achieved brilliant victories. Now, without the consent of Hezbollah, the government and Cabinet in Lebanon will not be elected and this means the path of victory planned by Hezbollah in Lebanon. The high spirit of Hezbollah among Palestinian Resistance groups has reached a point where Palestinians stood up against the enemy courageously and with more perseverance and during several previous wars in Gaza Strip in 2008, 2012 and 2014 we have witnessed salient military progress especially in the Palestinian missile industry. In “Operation al-Quds Sword” in 2021, the Palestinian Resistance group was able to inflict a severe defeat on Zionists in 11 days. Yemeni Ansarullah Movement is also active as a Movement that has greatly been influenced by Hezbollah's experiences and victories against Zionists and has taken Hezbollah as a role model for its upcoming victories.
Hezbollah's current political status and social acceptance
The brilliant performance of Hezbollah in Lebanon over the past few decades has made it very popular among Lebanese people despite all the designed projects. Hezbollah's victory in southern Lebanon prompted even some dissidents and opponents to show their support for the Movement in Lebanon. Many parties and walks of life in Lebanon, even with intellectual, cultural and ideological contradictions they have with Hezbollah, throw their weight behind Nasrallah and consider fighters of the Movement as a leading factor for the liberation of Lebanon against the Zionist enemy.
Following Hezbollah's victory in the 33-day war, Lebanon suddenly became a very important, influential and history-making country for the first time among 400-million Arabs. In fact, Hezbollah’s victory caused the Lebanese people to boast about themselves among Arab countries, because Israeli army had defeated Egypt, Syria and other Arab countries decades ago and now a Lebanese Resistance group was able to take revenge on Arab countries which had been defeated by Zionist regime. This made Hezbollah widely accepted among the Lebanese people and pro-Palestinian countries. Nasrallah also topped the list of leading figures in the Arab world with this victory.
Conclusion
Although Hezbollah officially declared its existence in 1985, it can be said that it has been active since 1982 as an idea and thought, originated from the political-Islamic current which was one of the ideas of Imam Musa Sadr, but after the glorious victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, under the wise leadership of Imam Khomeini (RA), it gained more power and strength. Over the past four decades, Hezbollah has been able to establish and prove itself as a guarantor of the national interests of Lebanon with two major victories gained in 2000 and 2006.
In addition, the confrontation between Hezbollah forces and terrorists who were seeking to infiltrate Lebanon from Syria led Lebanese people to consider Hezbollah as a movement that serves the interests of Lebanon. In regional arena, too, Hezbollah has been turned into a dynamic movement and Resistance groups in Palestine and Yemen have been able to fundamentally change regional equations by following the experiences gained by Hezbollah Movement.
What governs the resistance is how to respond to the enemy and deliver painful blows to any aggression, without being drawn into what the enemy might seek to drag it into. The resistance is the one that draws the rules and methods of response in place, time, quantity, type and style, which reflects, to this day, a high ability to control, dominate and manage the battle, contrary to what the enemy believes or seeks to achieve.
Hezbollah: the Unseen Vanguard of Resistance
Leith Fadel
Moments after Hezbollah captured the strategic mountain-top at Tal Al-Moussa, a National Defense Forces (NDF) soldier rushed to congratulate the resistance fighters on their victory; however, much to his dismay, the Lebanese Resistance group had already left the site.
“Where did they go? How do they just vanish like ghosts?”
Once nightfall descends upon the vast Qalamoun Mountains in western Syria, Hezbollah disappears; unbeknownst to many of the Syrian Conflict’s observers, this is one of those inexplicable truths that bewilders most journalists, as they endeavor to comprehend these “ghosts” from Lebanon’s beautiful landscapes.
Hezbollah is not an ordinary paramilitary group; their inner-circle is more secretive and complex than the American Mafia – no one knows who their field commanders are and no one knows their movements.
Who is Hezbollah?
The term “Hezbollah” is translated to “Party of God” in English – their banners and mantras are predicated on their devout belief in Islam; this is one of the reasons why they are known as “Al-Muqawama Al-Islamiya” (Islamic Resistance) in Arabic.
For Hezbollah’s soldiers, the thought of martyrdom is not something they fear; it is something they welcome as part of their duty to Allah and Islam – to die in battle is a prelude to their ultimate reward in Jannah (Heaven).
Similar to the Druze of the Levant, Hezbollah is not open to the public. Those select few that fight for Hezbollah belong to a fraternity of men that derive from Lebanon’s Shi’i population (predominately the Nabatiyeh, Beqa’a, and Beirut Governorates).
While, Hezbollah is not the only Shi’i organization in Lebanon (e.g. Harakat Amal), they do possess much of this religious sect’s support inside the country. Some people may even argue that Hezbollah is the most powerful force in Lebanon; it is not a far fetched assumption to make.
Hezbollah’s most notable member and face of the organization, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (“Abu Hadi”), ascended to the position of General-Secretary after the death of Sayyid ‘Abbas Al-Mousawi at the hands of the Mossad (Israeli intelligence). Sayyid Nasrallah is a gregarious leader that often corresponds with the public and delivers impactful speeches that provide the only attainable information regarding Hezbollah’s movements.
Present-Day Hezbollah:
The war in Syria has forced Hezbollah to become more transparent, due to longevity of this conflict. However, despite the duration of this war, Hezbollah still remains unseen and relatively unknown. They have captured most of the Qalamoun Mountains without boasting many pictures or videos of their success.
In fact, most of the media images that are presented to the public from the Qalamoun Mountains belong to the NDF and the Syrian Arab Army’s 1st Armored Division; however, just one problem, Hezbollah did most of the fighting on the border of Lebanon.
Not surprising, when Hezbollah liberated the historical village of Ma’aloula, Hezbollah did most of the fighting. Once the battle was won, a Hezbollah soldier rang the church bell and saluted the statue of the Virgin Mary. As the media and civilians from neighboring towns rushed to Ma’aloula after the battle, Hezbollah was nowhere to be found.
Perhaps, this is what makes them a special organization; their dedication and perseverance for victory usurps their desire for notoriety and individual glory. These men possess a great zeal for every cause they are a part of; this is evident in their commitment to discipline and victory.

Imam Khamenei “If the Zionist entity were capable of defeating the resistance in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, it would not have committed massacres against civilians in front of the world.”
He emphasized the necessity for Muslims to reclaim Palestine and restore Al-Aqsa Mosque to its rightful owners.
In this war against Lebanon and Palestine, the Leader said, “the infidel and evil enemy has the most equipment and the US is behind him”.
“The Americans say they are not involved and have no information, they say the opposite. They both have information and are involved and they need the victory of the Zionist regime,” Imam said.
“For the upcoming elections, the current American government needs to show that it has supported the Zionist regime and had it win the war. Of course, they also need the votes of American Muslims, so they pretend that they are not involved.”
