Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance supporters mourned on Monday the former Secretary General Martyr Sayyed Hashem Safieddine in his home town, Deir Qanoun Al-Nahr, in South Lebanon. The massive funeral was attended by local and regional political and social figures.
The blessed coffin of the Hashemite Martyr arrived early Monday to his hometown of Deir Qanoun Al-Nahr in the Tyre district and was laid out in the town’s Husseiniya, where the leadership of Hezbollah and the martyr’s family received condolences and congratulations on his martyrdom. The funeral ceremonies then began and included a scout show, and the participants organized a massive march led by the banner bearers, the scout musical groups, and the bearers of the honorable coffin.
The mourning procession passed through the streets of Deir Qanoun town as the mourners chanted slogans which reiterate commitment to the Resistance and Karbala path.
“Death to Israel”, “Death to America”, “Far from us is disgrace” were among many slogans chanted by the participants in the funeral.
A ceremony was held to honor the martyr Sayyed Al-Hashemi, where a group of the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance and the Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) Scouts took the oath and pledged allegiance in front of the holy coffin,
Sheikh Mohammad Hasan Akhtari, representative of Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, delivered a speech in which he explained that his participation in the funeral ceremony of Hashemite Martyr came upon the assignment of His Eminence Imam Khamenei to share with Lebanon and the Resistance this big loss of the two dear martyrs Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.
He said: “We have come to convey to you the condolences of Imam Khamenei, his emotions and feelings, and the condolences of the Iranian people,” reiterating the support of the Islamic Republic of Iran as well as its government, people and resistance to Lebanon and its people as well as resistance.
Sheikh Akhtari said: “This is our path to God,” stressing that “the resistance will triumph with God’s help, for this is a divine promise.”
After that, the funeral prayers were performed for the pure body of the martyr Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, led by the Imam of the town of Deir Qanoun Al-Nahr, Sheikh Ibrahim Qasir, before the Hashemite martyr was buried next to the martyrs who preceded him.
Sayyed Safieddine had six days, during the latest Israeli war on Lebanon, to lead the resistance before the treacherous Israeli warplanes targeted the alternative operations chamber. Member of Loyalty to Resistance bloc, Dr. Hasan Fadlallah, affirmed that Martyr Sayyed Safieddine rejected all the proposals which urged him to leave the operations room, adding that his eminence insisted on the importance of the leader’s steadfastness.
On the other hand, the resistance supporters flocked on Monday into the Holy Shrine of the Master of the Nation’s Martyrs, Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, on Beirut Airport road one day after the massive funeral held to mourn the leader who granted the nation pride, dignity and successive victories after the time of defeats.
