Two years since the assassination of late Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah:
On this day in 2024, Israel, backed by the US, used over 80 tons of explosives to assassinate the secretary-general of Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, wiping out an entire block in Beirut's southern suburb. But decades of resistance cannot be erased.
A legacy across Lebanon & the region:
• Spearheaded the strategic resistance that ended the Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon in May 2000 and established a decisive era of regional deterrence.
• Dedicated decades to the liberation of Palestine through direct military, logistical, political, and strategic coordination, insisting that ending the aggression on Gaza was the central moral imperative for the entire Axis of Resistance.
• Stood as the loudest voice on the world stage to publicly denounce the Saudi-led bombardment and blockade, providing powerful support to the Yemeni people.
• Directly supported regional countries against foreign-backed destabilization, securing crucial supply lines and working towards the sovereignty of the region.
• Built an interconnected front proving that regional security depends on self-reliance, unity, and resisting foreign hegemony.

Some Thoughts on Sayyed Hassan
I think his death has stung the most for me when it comes to leaders murdered by the zionist entity.
I know people in my community who still follow Sayyed Hassan as a Marja, as if he were an Ayatollah (he was not), and who still hold him to the same regard as Marja like Khamenei, Khomeini, Sistani, Shirazi, etc. Of all the resistance leaders, Nasrallah is who I'd say is the most beloved among my community.
I think a description that Norm Finkelstein gave about him was memorable. He once described Nasrallah as the "Islamic Lenin" in terms of his intelligence and strategic thinking when confronting Israel.
With the Hezbollah he left behind, I am cautiously optimistic that before the end of my life, perhaps before the end of this decade, Israel will be blown away like a mere spider's web, just as he envisioned.
