In a statement commemorating the anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Hezbollah noted that “today marks one full year since the heroic Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which exemplified the will of the Palestinian resistance in confronting Israeli aggression, injustice, and occupation that has afflicted Palestinians since 1948, along with the wars, tragedies, and destruction that followed.

“This operation will have historical repercussions and strategic outcomes on the overall situation in the region until justice is achieved through the elimination of Zionist occupation, allowing Palestinians to reclaim their legitimate rights to their land, from the river to the sea,” the group’s statement added.

Hezbollah harnessed this occasion to emphasize the “full right of the Palestinian people to resist occupation by all means necessary to reclaim their legitimate rights and eliminate the occupation.”

“Despite the Israeli brutality, which has led to the martyrdom of tens of thousands of Palestinians and the unprecedented destruction of the Gaza Strip, this unjust and oppressive entity has proven to be weak, unable to survive without US support,” the group affirmed.

Hezbollah also highlighted that “there is no place for this temporary entity in the region or within our social, cultural, and humanitarian fabric; it has always been and will remain a malignant, aggressive tumor that must be removed, no matter how long it takes.”

Regarding those who support the Zionist entity worldwide, Hezbollah stressed, “The United States, along with its allies and agents both globally and in the region, are partners in this occupation, complicit in its aggression and crimes against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and the peoples of the region. These countries bear full responsibility for the killings, atrocities, injustices, and devastating humanitarian tragedies.”

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon addressed the Palestinian people and their valiant resistance, praising their steadfastness after a year of patience and endurance, marked by tragedy, and affirming that they are “worthy of victory.”

Hezbollah hailed the courageous support fronts, declaring: “We commend the strength and valor of our fellow fighters in the beloved arenas of Yemen and great Iraq. Furthermore, we recognize the historic decision by the Islamic Republic of Iran to execute a significant missile strike deep within enemy territory. This action will have profound implications and significant outcomes for the nature of this ongoing confrontation with the Zionist enemy.

The group emphasized its determination to proceed with its decision to open a support front on October 8 in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their honorable resistance, noting that this choice aligns with truth, justice, and complete humanity.

“This decision also underscores our commitment to defending Lebanon and its people, for which our resistance and populace have paid a heavy price in leadership, military, and material losses, along with the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians and extensive property destruction. Meanwhile, the enemy persists in its relentless crimes and aggression,” the statement added.

Hezbollah wrapped up its statement, reaffirming its confidence in the resistance’s ability to repel the aggression and the resilience of its people until this crisis is resolved.

“We see ease following hardship and relief after distress; the era of defeats is over, and divine victory has arrived,” the group stated.
