Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah: The Murder Of Leaders Aims To Weaken The Axis Of The Resistance
JAKARTA - militant group leader Hezbollah Hassan Nasollah said the deaths of resistance figures would not have a negative impact on the fight group's struggle.
He delivered this in a speech Thursday, related to the death of Hamas Political Bureau Head Ismail Haniyeh and senior commander Hezbollah Fuad Shukr.
Condolences for the death of the two figures, Nasrallah said the conflict was entering a new phase.
"The enemy's goal in bombing the building was to kill commander Fuad Shukr, who killed seven people, including an Iranian military adviser, and injured dozens," he said, commenting on the attack by the Zionist regime in Haret Hreik, Beirut's southern suburbs, quoted from IRNA August 2.
"Do they think they can kill Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and hope Iran stays silent?", Nasrallah said.
Haniyeh was killed in an attack on Tehran, Palestinian militant group Hamas said. He was in the Iranian capital to attend the inauguration of the elected president Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday afternoon. Previously, he met Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Pezeshkian on separate occasions before the inauguration.
"The purpose of killing these leaders is to weaken the determination of the resistance's Axis fighters," he said.
"We are in an open war in all lines," he said, adding that fighting had entered a new phase, quoted from Mehr.

Nasrallah said several countries, which were not named, had asked their groups to retaliate in a "acceptable" way - or not at all, quoted by Reuters.
He condemned the attempt and outlined a response to proportional to Israel's targeting of a civilian building on the outskirts of the capital.
And those trying to prevent a wider war must seek a ceasefire in Gaza, Nasrallah said, instead of tapping on Hezbollah's doors.
"There will be no solution except to stop aggression in Gaza," he said.
