Defiant Raad says son killed to achieve 'dignity of our people'

W460

The head of Hezbollah’s Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammed Raad, has said that his son Abbas has been slain while seeking to “lift injustice and resist tyranny and Zionist savagery and the savagery of all the enemies of humanity.”

“We are firm on this path, we will carry on … and we want the pride and dignity of our people and nation,” Raad said as he received the coffin of his slain son.

“Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has taught us how fathers of martyrs should be: patient, faithful, strong and steadfast on this jihadist and resistance path,” Raad added.

His son Abbas and four other Hezbollah fighters were killed in an Israeli airstrike overnight on a house in the southern town of Beit Yahoun.

Nasrallah’s son Hadi, also a Hezbollah fighter, was killed alongside three other Hezbollah fighters in a 1997 Israeli ambush near the southern town of Mlikh.

Since the current cross-border exchanges began on October 8, more than 100 people have been killed on the Lebanese side, according to an AFP tally, most of them Hezbollah combatants but including at least 14 civilians, three of them journalists.

On the Israeli side, six soldiers and three civilians have been killed, according to authorities.

This is the guy who was allegedly bringing prostitues and had drawers filled with erotic magazines and condoms at the parliament. A man of God…. Pick up a rifle and prove you’re a man by fighting at the border, coward!

God Bless our Shia resistance aka Hezbollah aided by the "Ahali" for teaching us how to sacrifice our sons and daughters for the sake of the pride and dignity of our people and nation.

I myself when I get married and have children promise to sacrifice them for our Sayyed. I shall be patient, faithful, strong and steadfast.

What the Zionist Bidenic enemy fears most is our beliefs and sacrifices in addition to our volcanic missiles that spew Lava on its zionist mercenaries.

We will not surrender
We will not submit
We will liberate

Shia Shea Shia !!!

BTW Hajj Mohammed, I saw the tens of thousands who fled their homes in south Lebanon. Yup they definitely looked full of pride and dignity, sitting there on bare floors, in makeshift shelters, getting food handouts and having to rely on the kindness of others to feed their children and themselves. That distant look in their eyes, in not fear, weariness or anguish, it's obviously pride and dignity, sure that's what it is.
