News - Middle East: Palestinian resistance groups along with other regional resistance factions say the assassination by Israel of Hezbollah’s Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah will only increase the determination of the resistance in the region.

The Hezbollah leader was assassinated in a massive Israeli airstrike on residential buildings in Lebanon's capital Beirut on Friday. He led Lebanon's resistance group for more than 32 years. 

Palestinian resistance movement Hamas said in a Saturday statement that crimes and assassinations by Israel “will only increase the determination and the insistence of the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon.”

The resistance in Palestine and Lebanon, Hamas said, will “go forward with all their might, bravery and pride on the footsteps of the martyrs...and pursue the path of resistance until victory and the dismissal of the occupation.”

Hamas said that Nasrallah’s “pure blood that was shed on Lebanese soil…will be a curse that haunts this Zionist enemy and will illuminate and extend the path of our people and our resistance, which knows no defeat or surrender.”
