Safiedine: sacrifice-attack against the motorized patrols of the Zionist enemy

Local Editor



On the 13th of April, 1984, the Martyr set off on his explosive-loaded car from his town, Hallusiyyeh, towards Deir Qanoon Nahr Town, where he parked his car close to the main road. Away from any civilians, he awaited his target, and once the "Israeli" military convoy arrived, he bombed his car, wounding or killing each of the convoy members. The bombing of his explosive-loaded car was the first sacrifice-attack against the motorized patrols of the Zionist enemy.
The "Israeli" military spokesman acknowledged the death of six militants during the operation, declaring that the operation had come among a series of operations performed in the region.

A Résumé of the Martyr's Life:

Ali Safieddine was born in Hallusiyyeh Village, becoming the first child of faithful, righteous parents of the Hashem Ancestry. The quiet childhood he was living with his siblings was disrupted by the "Israeli" invasion in 1982; then, he witnessed the oppression of the occupants, who stole away the green fields and the flowers that he and his siblings had loved; he would now have a wooden rifle for his game and build his own mound to confront the occupants. Leaving his village and school behind, Ali migrated with his family to the Lebanese capital, Beirut, in search of a better life; they had suffered a hard living in the South. There he continued his education, having his teachers regard him as an excellent student. However, he had to return with his family to their village, hoping to provide some comfort for the sick father, who - God willing - died, orphaning his children.

At the age of fifteen, the Martyr commenced his work, moving between Beirut and Hallusiyyeh. He also began to attend and adore all the lectures that Sheikh Ragheb Harb was giving then. The Martyr's heart was charmed by Sheikh Ragheb's instruction concerning martyrdom, and he was outraged when Sheikh Ragheb was detained. Still, he would be aggravated by the Zionist's defilements and criminal works, particularly the detention of the village's Imam, Sheikh Abbass Harb, along with a number of young fighters. Consequently, he chose the path of the Resistance and acquired the relevant skills in no time. He became a fighter whose major concern was to deliver a severe coup to the enemy. Then was the decision to perform his self-sacrifice operation using his car, which he had prepared with his own effort and money. The Martyr would meet Allah, having granted his money and soul for the sake of jihad. This was what he had learned from Sheikh Ragheb, who had been martyred and had become the Sheikh of the Martyrs.
