AhlulBayt News Agency: On Monday, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani expressed solidarity with Lebanon calling for urgent efforts to halt what he described as Israel's "brutal" aggression and to protect the Lebanese people.
In the name of God, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful
In these difficult days that the respected Lebanese people are going through, as they are increasingly exposed to the brutal aggression and their savage methods, which include causing large numbers of personal communication and other devices to explode, targeting homes crowded with citizens, even women and children, and launching intensive raids on dozens of villages and towns in the south and the Beqaa, which so far has resulted in the martyrdom and wounding of large numbers of heroic resistance fighters and other innocent civilians and the displacement of tens of thousands from their homes.
The Supreme Religious Authority expresses its solidarity with its dear Lebanese people. It offers its condolences to them for their great suffering, raising its hands in supplication to God Almighty to protect them and repel from them the evil of the wicked and the plots of the evildoers, and to include their righteous martyrs among those in divine mercy and pleasure, and grant the wounded and injured a speedy recovery.
As such, the Supreme Religious Authority calls for every possible effort to stop this ongoing barbaric aggression and protect the Lebanese people from its devastating effects, and for all believers to contribute in any way to alleviate their suffering and secure their humanitarian needs.
May God protect Lebanon and its dear people from all harm and misfortune.
Office of Sayyid al-Sistani (may God preserve him)
