Israeli newspaper 'Maariv' has warned that the IDF may strike the funeral or targets nearby in Beirut, if the ceremony turns into a massive show of force for Hezbollah.

— The strength of the Islamic resistance comes, first and foremost, from the support of its people.

I would like to take you all back to January 2020, when the Commander of the IRGC Quds Force, General Soleimani, was martyred in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad.

According to the Americans, the assassination was a massive success. They thought they had achieved a great victory. They eliminated Iran's most important general, and took out probably the most significant architect of Iran's regional power projection.

What they failed to realize, however, is that 'Martyr Soleimani' was a thousand times more powerful than
'General Soleimani'.

More than 10 million people showed up for his funeral, in the biggest nationwide display of support for the Islamic Republic in years (pictures and videos attached).

The months prior, Iran had seen some tensions due to rising fuel prices and inflation, but the assassination of Qasem Soleimani brought the country together and reinvigorated the revolutionary spirit.

If Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's funeral looks anything similar to it, of course when adjusted to Lebanon's population and scale, then this tragic event will only legitimize the resistance more, and embed it into the people's hearts even more.

Sacrifice unites. Suffering and mourning for a loved one unites. Many people in Lebanon, even those who may not necessarily love Hezbollah, grew up with Nasrallah. They respect him in one way or another, and for this reason I expect a massive turnout this Sunday.
