Damascus, President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday, addressed a message to the Lebanese National Resistance and the family of martyr Hassan Nasrallah, in which he highlighted the eternity of the ideas and the example of the resistance leader who martyred in a cowardly Israeli attack on the southern suburb of Beirut.
The text of the letter reads as follows:
Lebanese National Resistance
Family of martyr Hassan Nasrallah
My message is not to offer you condolences for the martyrdom of the resistance leader, that over the past decades, you have demonstrated steadfastness, strength, determination and cohesion that have made you stronger and more resilient to every calamity, no matter how great.
You are from the school of struggle that will only know persistence and steadfastness on the path of truth, no matter how expensive and costly it is, noble blood is only shed for the sake of truth and its causes.
The resistance does not weaken with the martyrdom of its leader, but rather remains firmly rooted in the hearts
and minds, because great leaders build in their lives the doctrine of struggle, its approach and its path, and they depart leaving behind them an intellectual system and a practical approach to resistance and honor.
Resistance is an idea and a thought, and the martyr Nasrallah is its memory and history. He will never be a legend, but will remain an approach that produces a truth that imposes a reality whose heart is resistance, whose essence is pride, whose compass is dignity, whose title is liberation, and whose beacon throughout the generations is the martyr Hassan Nasrallah.
We are certain that the Lebanese national resistance will continue on the path of struggle and justice in the face of the occupation, and will continue to support the Palestinian people in their struggle for their just cause.
Martyr Nasrallah will remain in the memory of the Syrians, as a sign of loyalty to his standing by Syria in its war against the tools of Zionism, despite the burdens of confrontation that he carried. At the hea
rt of this loyalty, the name of Martyr Hassan Nasrallah will remain immortal.
