Furthermore, the honourable people of Jenin announced a general strike for tomorrow, in mourning of martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Condolences poured in from every corner of  the globe, and leaders expressed their wishes, their sorrows, and pain at his premature departure.

The Leader of the Revolution Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi in his speech on the occasion of the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that, “the “israeli” enemy is suffering from its crimes, but it will not achieve its hopes, and its eventual demise is inevitable according to the promise of Allah.

We emphasize that everyone should play their role, as the battle is ongoing and the “israeli” enemy is an enemy of Islam and Muslims and a danger to humanity.”

We must not be defeated as a result of the fall of a great leader among our leaders.
Rather, we must carry his blood, carry his banner, and carry his goals. Al Masirah

Admittedly, the void the great leader left behind with his departure will be felt dearly. A staunch defender of Palestine and every inch of the Land of Cedars, he was a great source or galvanising power for the  anti-Israel movement.

It is exceedingly difficult to expect that he could be replaced. Could anyone fill his shoes?

However, in the Leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s own words, “It is not important if one of us dies. What’s important is that you continue.”

“We must not be defeated as a result of the fall of a great leader among our leaders.
Rather, we must carry his blood, carry his banner, and carry his goals.”
