Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stressed on Friday that the vote on Sunday is a message to all those who have been plotting against the Resistance and the future in Lebanon.
Sayyed Nasrallah addressed Bekaa residents who gathered in huge simultaneous ceremonies held in Baalbeck, Mashghara and Rayak.
The Resistance Leader praised Bekaa residents for their stance towards the Resistance, stressing that Bekaa stood throughout 40 years by the Resistance and offered all means of support.
His eminence noted that the area of Bekaa would have been in real danger if Takfiri terrorists had obtained victory in Syria.
In this context, Sayyed Nasrallah called on Bekaa residents and all Lebanese to make up their mind and choose between the hand which delivered weapons to defend Bekaa and the hand which delivered weapons to kill the Lebanese.
Sayyed Nasrallah stressed importance of building the ‘just and capable state’, vowing that Hezbollah ministers have been and will continue pursuing projects aimed at developing the area of Bekaa.
His eminence, meanwhile, electoral campaign launched by Hezbollah’s rivals, stressing that some candidates are raising ‘stupid’ topics in their anti-Hezbollah campaigns.
The Hezbollah SG also denounced as a crime the Israeli shooting of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin, hailing the veteran reporter as a witness on the Zionist entity’s murders against Palestinian people.
Shireen Abu Akleh Martyrdom At the beginning of his speech, Sayyed Nasralla hailed huge masses in Bekaa who attended the electoral ceremonies, saying “unlike plotters and conspirators, I am not surprised by the high participation of Bekaa residents.” Before getting into the electoral issue, Sayyed Nasrallah condemned as a crime the Israeli shooting of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin this week.
“Shireen Abu Akleh had been for years a witness for Israeli crimes against Palestinian people,” Sayyed Nasrallah said, stressing that “the first to be ashamed by this crime should be all those who call for normalization of ties with Zionist entity.” He pointed to the religion of Abu Akle (Christian) as a “powerful message” behind her martyrdom, assuring that the Zionist entity doesn’t distinguish between a Muslim and a Christian.
“The criminal nature of the Zionist enemy hasn’t changed between Palestine, Lebanon and Egypt.” Sayyed Nasrallah also offered condolences to families of Syrian martyrs who fell during terrorist attack in Aleppo countryside on Friday.
Bekaa is the Resistance Sayyed Nasrallah then said that Bekaa and its residents have been for long years a vital part of the Resistance on level of establishment, attendance in the battlefields as well as support offered to the Resistance.
His eminence cited the heroic battle which took place in Sultan Yaaqoub area, where dozens of Israelis were killed or injured in 1982.
“The Belaa witnessed major battles against the Israeli enemy.
It was subjected to Israeli bombardment for long years in a bid to press it residents.” “We can’t say that you support Resistance.
You are the Resistance.
You are Hezbollah,” Sayyed Nasrallah addressed Bekaa residents.
Sayyed Nasrallah noted that enemies want Bekaa residents to abandon the Resistance and its weapons.
And when he asked the masses gathering at the ceremonies about their response regarding this issue, the crowds chanted: “At your service O Nasrallah!” In this context, Sayyed Nasrallah said: “We have to recall those who stand by the Resistance, on top of which are Syria and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In contrast, we have to recall those who stand by Israel and talk today about the so-called freedom and independence, on top of which are the US and some Arab states.” More to follow-
