Lebanon marks today (Sunday) two years since the elimination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed on September 27, 2024, in an IDF strike on the organization's central headquarters in Haret Hreik in the Dahieh district of southern Beirut. Overnight, Hezbollah supporters gathered at the site of the elimination, which has become a pilgrimage site, and in Baghdad, Iraq, Shia supporters raised his picture. A large rally is scheduled for the afternoon in Beirut. Ibrahim al-Amin, editor of the Lebanese newspaper "Al-Akhbar," which is affiliated with Hezbollah, wrote in an article that "revenge requires a level of sophistication far exceeding even the schemes of the Zionists" and that "the fitting punishment for this state... is a major event." Hezbollah Political Council member Ghalib Abu Zainab told the Qatari newspaper "Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed" that September 2024 was a "decisive turning point," but "it is not the end of the road, as the Israelis hoped." According to him, the framework agreement with Israel is "unfair and gives priority to Israel in every clause." However, the organization faces significant pressures, including from within the Shia community that opposes dragging the country into a new war, and it stands before ongoing Israeli strikes despite the ceasefire agreement.
