03:03Hezbollah supporters held a protest in Al-Najma Square in Sidon, southern Lebanon on Saturday, to condemn the assassination of Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah by an Israeli airstrike.
Hezbollah earlier confirmed the death of Nasrallah in the attack on the party's headquarters in Beirut's southern suburbs on Friday evening.
The footage shows supporters holding pictures of Nasrallah and chanting his name, as others hold banners declaring "We will not abandon Palestine".
“Even if Israel plays on our morale, killing our greatest leader, our smallest leader, our children, and even infants among us, we will continue the path that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah taught us. We will carry on the fight and resistance, and we will continue Sayyed Nasrallah's journey, who believed in leading us in prayer in Jerusalem. We will pray in Jerusalem, God willing, and we will fulfill what he wanted, allowing him to rest in peace in paradise,” said protester Mohammad Al-Turk.
Fellow protester Mohamed Hashisha noted that the gathering aimed to ‘express our loyalty and dedication to the path or resistance’, despite the ‘painful’ blow.
“Expressions of emotion must begin, even if they start small, to reflect the people's pulse, their anger, and their sorrow over what happened. However, this is a victorious and ongoing choice. The path of resistance is the only option that restores dignity to our people and our nation, and it is the only decision that will liberate Palestine. There is no other choice," he explained.
On Friday evening, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) announced that it had "carried out a precise strike on the central headquarters of Hezbollah”, before declaring on Saturday that the attack had resulted in the death of Hezbollah's Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.
The IDF released another statement later on Saturday indicating that it had conducted "airstrikes targeting more than 140 Hezbollah-affiliated sites over the past night."
In a formal statement on Saturday, Hezbollah confirmed the death of the Secretary-General in the Beirut strike, along with other leaders that had yet to be named at the time of publication.
Bombardment of the southern suburbs of Beirut reportedly continued on Saturday, the sixth day since fighting between Hezbollah and Israel intensified, with strikes also reported in southern regions and the Bekaa Valley.
On Monday, the IDF announced the start of a campaign of airstrikes on Hezbollah positions dubbed 'Operation Northern Arrows'. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that these attacks have resulted in more than 1,030 deaths and left 6,300 people injured.
Tensions between the sides escalated in mid-September after a series of explosions of wireless communications devices used by Hezbollah left dozens dead and thousands injured. Hezbollah responded by launching hundreds of rockets into northern Israel.
Hezbollah, Lebanese, and Palestinian factions have been exchanging cross-border shelling with the Israeli forces since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
