Hezbollah Fighters Reaffirm Pledge of Allegiance to Resistance Leader

By Staff, Agencies

Fighters of the Hezbollah resistance movement renewed their pledge of allegiance to the Leader of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, and the movement’s Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

The resistance men have asserted that they remain at Sayyed Nasrallah’s command.

The message addresses the Hezbollah chief as “the leader of hearts,” as a mark of their love and loyalty to him, saying whenever he gave an order, they swiftly responded to it.

“Whenever you ordered, we fired a number of rockets,” the video message says. “Due to your supervision and prayers of the honorable people [of Lebanon], success was bestowed [on us] by God.”

“After we swung into action, where the enemy could not even have imagined, the enemy and his paper dome were lost in bewilderment,” the resistance fighters noted, referring to the Zionist entity’s so-called Iron Dome and its failure to intercept the retaliatory rockets fired recently from southern Lebanon.

On Friday, Hezbollah announced in a statement that its units had hit “open fields” near ‘Israeli’ positions using “dozens” of 122mm-caliber rockets. Footage of the operation released later in the day showed that 20 rockets had been fired at the occupation regime's military positions.

The operation was carried out in response to the Zionist military’s airstrikes on southern Lebanon. The occupation forces again resorted to artillery fire after the Hezbollah retaliated the initial attack.

Hezbollah’s mujahideen, while reaffirming their commitment to the cause of resistance, emphasized that people in the villages of al-Arqoub and Hasbiya in southern Lebanon “have been and continue to be partners in resistance.”

“As you wanted [from us], we are the embodiment of patience and insight,” the fighters declared. “The barrel of our rifles is always on the chest of the ‘Israeli’ enemy.  We have exercised highest degrees of restraint [so far].”

They further expressed readiness to “blow up the volcano of anger against the enemies of the homeland and the nation” at their leader’s command.

In a televised speech on Saturday, days after the latest Zionist aggression on southern Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah said the Lebanese resistance movement does not seek war, but is not afraid of one either as it remains confident about the odds of victory.

The speech came on the anniversary of Lebanon’s historic triumph against the Zionist regime during the 33-day imposed war on Lebanon in 2006.

Sayyed Nasrallah underlined the resistance group’s readiness as well as its well-equipped arsenal to confront the enemies.

“We are not after war. It was not us who staged aggression [in the first place]. However, we are ready and are not afraid of war,” he asserted. “We are prepared every moment, and are certain that we will triumph in [any] warfare,” the Hezbollah leader added.

His Eminence described last week’s retaliation as “only a fraction” of what the group is capable of, saying it has many choices in the event of a conflict.

“Therefore, if the Zionist regime perpetrates any act of folly, it will face a heavy response,” Sayyed Nasrallah stated.
