Daughter of martyred top Hezbollah commander: Israel to suffer more after assassinations
The daughter of the senior Hezbollah commander who was murdered by Israel earlier this week says the occupying regime will suffer more after the assassination.
“We tell the enemy you will not feel comfortable with the martyrdom of Hajj Mohsen as you didn’t during his life. Just as he pained you when he was alive, he will pain you exponentially after his death,” Khadija, the daughter of Fuad Shukr, told Lebanon’s al-Manar television network on Friday, using his nickname.
She stressed that the acts of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah don’t hinge on one commander.
“Our message today is that our family will continue this path and approach with the same momentum, and the resistance doesn’t stop for anybody,” she added.
Khadija noted that her father was known for his strength and steadfastness while being kind at the same time.
“My father …was always preparing us for this day, and his wish was that his life ends with martyrdom,” she added.
Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander and an advisor to the movement’s Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, was assassinated in an Israeli strike against a building in a suburb of the country’s capital Beirut on Tuesday.
That was followed by the regime’s assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’ Political Bureau chief, in the Iranian capital of Tehran.
Nasrallah said fighting against the regime had entered “a new phase” after the dual assassinations. Israel had “crossed red lines” in the assassinations and it had to expect “rage and revenge on all the fronts,” he said.
Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire since early October, shortly after the occupying regime launched its war on Gaza.
The movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory operations as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its onslaught on Gaza that has so far killed 39,480 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 91,128 others.
Hezbollah fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, forcing a humiliating retreat upon the Tel Aviv regime’s military on both occasions.
The movement has vowed to defend the country with all its resources in the event of another one.
