Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stressed on Sunday that the Resistance protects Lebanon and preserves its sovereignty and natural resources.

In a televised speech, Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized that the military capabilities of the Resistance were provided mainly by the Islamic Republic of Iran and Syria, calling on all the Lebanese to admit this fact and thank those who have supported Lebanon in face of the Israeli occupation and aggression.

Sayyed Nasrallah's speech marked the anniversary of the assassination of General Qassem Suleimani, the former Commander of IRGC's Quds Force, who was martyred on January 3, 2020, in a US drone attack which also claimed the soul of the former Head of Iraq's Hashd Shaabi Committee, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, after attacking their convoy near Baghdad airport.
