Tehran | WTNS | Sep 28: The Leader of the Muslim Ummah Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei issued a message on Saturday regarding the recent developments in Lebanon.
In his message, Khamenei condemned the killing of civilians in Lebanon, describing it as a reflection of the brutal nature of the Zionists.
He argued that this act further exposed the short-sightedness and flawed policies of the Israeli leadership.
The Leader criticized the Zionist regime for failing to learn from their year-long war in Gaza, stating that the mass killing of women, children, and civilians had no impact on the Resistance.
He emphasized that “now they are conducting the same foolish policy in Lebanon.”
Wilayat Times reports, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei also issued a warning to the Zionist regime, asserting that they are incapable of causing significant harm to Hezbollah’s robust structure in Lebanon.
“All the Resistance forces of the region are with Hezbollah and support it,” he noted.
Imam Khamenei further stressed that the fate of the region will be determined by the Resistance forces, highlighting the collective memory of the Lebanese people regarding Hezbollah’s past actions against the Zionists.
He expressed hope that Lebanon will once again make the aggressors regret their crimes.
“It is obligatory for all Muslims to stand with the people of Lebanon and the proud Hezbollah with their resources and help them in confronting the usurping, cruel, and evil regime,” he said.
Beirut Attack
The Israeli army claimed on Saturday that it assassinated Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah when it launched a massive airstrike targeting a residential area in the southern suburbs of Beirut on Friday.
According to the Lebanese news network Al-Mayadeen, at least six buildings were destroyed in the attack, which was reportedly carried out with 2,000-pound bunker-busting bombs.
According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, at least six people were killed and 91 were wounded. However, the death toll is likely to rise as the Lebanese Civil Defense said in a statement that hundreds of people are still missing.
At least 720 people have been killed and thousands were wounded in Israeli attacks across Lebanon, according to the country’s health ministry.
Hezbollah has fired its fifth wave of rockets towards Israel’s military positions and settlements in the north of occupied territories in response to the occupying regime’s residential buildings in southern Beirut.
The Lebanese resistance movement said it fired a barrage of Fadi-3 missiles at the Ramat David base and airport about 20 km southeast of Haifa on Saturday morning.
The operation, it said, came “in support of steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their valiant and honorable resistance front, in defense of Lebanon and its nation, and in response to the barbaric Israeli violations against Lebanese cities, villages, and civilians.”
Israel’s Ynet website said Hezbollah sent its reconnaissance drones over David Ramat which is one of the three main Israeli airfields, taking pictures of all the sensitive positions ranging from the residences of soldiers and officers to the routes of airplanes and even the military command office before targeting them.
Ynet touched on the strategic Ramat David base where three squadrons of the most advanced F16 fighters are based, saying all those station in the airfield are aware of the danger that threatens them and the areas around the base.
Israeli website Walla, which specializes in security affairs, said the town of Metula has been completely destroyed with the ongoing escalation in the north and the expansion of Hezbollah’s missile operations, adding what remains is a single school.
