Sayyed Nasrallah: Israel deliberately targets civilians while diverting public opinion

Mourning the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas' political bureau, and Fuad Shukr, a prominent Hezbollah commander by Israeli regime, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that Israel deliberately targeted civilians in Beirut's southern suburbs while using the incident as a diversion from the Majdal Shams controversy.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Mourning the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, head of Hamas' political bureau, and Fuad Shukr, a prominent Hezbollah commander by Israeli regime, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that Israel deliberately targeted civilians in Beirut's southern suburbs while using the incident as a diversion from the Majdal Shams controversy.

The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Lebanon, delivered a speech this afternoon (Thursday) on the occasion of the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas' political bureau, and the martyrdom of "Fuad Shukr," a prominent commander of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, at the beginning of his speech, extended condolences and congratulations on the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh and Fuad Shukr.

He stated, "I congratulate and offer condolences on the martyrdom of our dear brother 'Ismail Haniyeh' to our brothers in Hamas and the Al-Qassam Brigades, the Palestinian people, and the Arab and Islamic nations.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah spoke about the recent assassination operation by the Zionist regime's military in the Haret Hreik area of Beirut's southern suburbs. He said, "The enemy targeted a building filled with civilians in Haret Hreik while assassinating the Hezbollah commander, martyr Fuad Shukr."

He noted, "The enemy's goal in bombing a building in the southern suburbs was to assassinate the great Jihadi commander 'Fuad Shukr,' which led to the martyrdom of seven people, including an Iranian advisor, and the injury of dozens."

Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized that this Israeli crime was not a reaction to the incident in Majdal Shams but rather an attempt to divert public opinion as part of the ongoing war.

The Secretary-General of Hezbollah continued, "The enemy accused Fuad Shukr of killing children in Majdal Shams, and using this accusation as an excuse, carried out the largest deception operation to mislead public opinion."

He clarified, "The enemy accused Hezbollah of the Majdal Shams incident without providing any evidence. However, our internal investigations show that we had no connection with the Majdal Shams incident."
