Honoring martyr Gen. Soleimani
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution has hailed Martyr General Qassem Soleimani for the "unique" role he played in the fight against terrorism. Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks a day before the fifth martyrdom anniversary of Iran’s legendary anti-terror commander. Addressing a group of families of martyrs, veterans, and resistance activists, the Leader lauded the sacrifices made by General Soleimani and other resistance fighters. He said, without these sacrifices, the sacred places would have been lost. The Leader emphasized that the events involving Martyr Soleimani in the region show the Islamic Revolution is still alive. Ayatollah Khamenei also noted that when countries remove their factors of stability and authority, they become vulnerable to chaos like what happened in Syria. General Soleimani, along with Iraqi commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and their companions, was assassinated in a US airstrike just outside the airport in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on January 3, 2020.
Resistance growing stronger
The Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement has hailed the resilience of resistance fighters in his country. Addressing an event in Tehran, Sheikh Naim Qassem said that the current Israeli aggression is directed against both the Lebanese government and the international community. He emphasized the need for collective actions against the enemy at this critical juncture. Sheikh Qassem said that the resistance is deeply rooted in faith and commitment of true believers. He called for an evaluation of recent conflicts in order to decide on future strategies and urged the Lebanese government to demonstrate its capability through decisive political action. The Hezbollah chief concluded by saying that the resistance goes on and continues to grow stronger.
Israel Gaza genocide
Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip have started the New Year with more deadly Israeli attacks as the regime keeps pounding the blockaded territory indiscriminately. In one of the strikes, at least 4 Palestinians were killed after Israeli warplanes bombed a residential building in Jabalia, northern Gaza. A separate Israeli strike targeted the al-Buriej refugee camp in central Gaza, killing at least 11 people and injuring several others. The Israeli artillery also shelled several areas across the coastal sliver, leaving an unknown number of Palestinians dead and injured. The Israeli aggression against Gaza began in October 2023. Since then, more than 45,500 Palestinians have been killed and over 108,000 others injured. Incessant Israeli attacks on Gaza have caused a six-percent drop in the Gaza population.
