In the city of Bint Jbeil, Hezbollah bid farewell to municipal council member Mohammed Adel Al-Sagheer to his final resting place, in the presence of MP Hussein Jishi, a member of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, the mayor of Bint Jbeil, Mohammed Bazzi, in addition to other figures and personalities.
During the funeral procession, MP Hussein Jishi delivered a speech in which he affirmed that Bint Jbeil is the “vanquisher of the Zionist enemy and impervious to occupation,” pointing to the enemy’s failed attempts to enter it in 2006 and 2024, and emphasizing the city’s steadfastness. He pointed out that this funeral is to mourn “the martyr Mohammed,” describing his martyrdom as a “divine medal,” and that God “chooses for His mercy whom He wills.”
Jishi added that “the men” guarded the hills with their blood, and faced “the confrontation of the free,” considering that their souls are “the dowry of the land and its freedom,” and emphasizing remaining in the city “like rock” and not retreating. He stressed that the international community, UN resolutions, and diplomacy “do not restore rights,” and that “pure, undefiled blood” is what “creates the dawn of freedom and builds a sovereign, free, and independent nation.”
He explained that the martyrdom of more heroes at the hands of the enemy, “unfettered by any commitment,” increases our conviction that this enemy “understands only the language of force,” considering that the Lebanese authority’s bet on diplomacy to deter daily attacks is a “short-sighted bet,” and that agreements with this enemy are worthless, as happened in the agreement of the twenty-seventh of last November. He considered that betting on the “American guarantee” is “betting on a mirage,” citing what he described as the “bullying and pharaoh-like behavior” practiced by America on the countries and peoples of the world, and asked: If the American does not abide, how can the Israeli be bound by laws and charters?
Jishi pointed out that there are those who call for confidence in the state’s ability to protect the country, citizens, and their livelihoods, and to abandon the resistance, noting that more than a year has passed since the ceasefire agreement, while “the enemy attacks daily,” considering that the authority is unable to deter it and to protect citizens and their homes. He affirmed that the state is “unable to defend itself,” referring to statements by American officials about the state and the Lebanese army, and asked how the authority, under these circumstances, can liberate the land and protect the people.
In conclusion, Jishi affirmed that the “guarantee of protecting Lebanon” depends on two basic things: the first is the unity of the Lebanese in the face of the enemy and its ambitions, and the second is to maintain all the reasons for strength, diplomatic and military together, and to adhere to the equation of “the people, the army, and the resistance,” stressing that it has “proven its worth.”
