During a military parade marking Iran’s Sacred Defense week, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized Iran’s military power, which has prevented enemy incursions, while showcasing Iran’s new “Jihad” ballistic missile.
Resistance factions in occupied Palestine offered their sincere condolences on Saturday morning for the martyrdom of Hezbollah leader Ibrahim Aqil, who was martyred on the path to al-Quds after an Israeli attack that struck the Southern Suburb of Beirut on Friday.
Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas said that the martyrdom of Commander Aqil “reaffirms our shared path and destiny, and we are all faithful and confident in God’s promise and victory.”
Hamas stressed that “the occupation’s crimes are foolish acts for which it will pay the price, and the blood of the martyrs will be a flame that scorches this entity, bringing us closer to the end of the occupation and its eradication.”
Palestinian Islamic Jihad
The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine mourned the martyred leader and his companions, emphasizing that “the treachery of the occupation and its targeting of leaders will only strengthen the resolve of the Resistance.”
The Resistance faction, in its statement, described the martyred leader as a symbol of heroism and courage. “We knew him as a brave leader who lived with pride and dignity, a fearless fighter for Palestine, and a wise leader who dedicated every moment to the liberation of the land and the defense of the nation’s dignity. He was always present wherever duty called, leading his men with unwavering resolve and determination, paving the path to victory with his steps.”
It also pointed out that “the treachery and cowardice of the occupation in targeting the heroic leaders will only increase the Resistance forces’ steadfastness and determination to move forward in confronting this enemy and its crimes.”
Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades
For its part, the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Resistance Committees in Palestine, mourned the martyred leader and praised his great role as a revolutionary and fighter, highlighting his great impact on the Palestinian people and their resistance.
The statement further said that the cowardly assassination confirms that the Islamic Resistance and Hezbollah are shaking the foundations of the Zionist entity, becoming a source of terror and a nightmare that haunts the Zionist enemy, its leaders, and settlers.
