Lebanese Hezbollah movement held a ceremony in commemoration of the Iranian general Mohammad Reda Zahedi martyred along with a number of his companions in an Israeli airstrike in Damascus at Sayyed Al-Shuhada Complex in Beirut’s Dahiyeh on Monday afternoon.
The secretary general of the Hezbollah resistance movement Hassan Nasrallah addressed the ceremony to honor the senior Iranian general via video-conferencing.
“IRGC role in Lebanon and Syrian started upon the Israeli invasion in 1982,” said Nasrallah, adding that, “Despite the global war waged by Saddam Hussein regime on Iran, Imam Khomeini dispatched Iranian forces to Lebanon and Syria to confront the Zionist invasion.
“As the Zionist invasion stopped, most of the Iranian forces returned home, yet IRGC cadres remained in Lebanon to train the resistance fighters,” he also said, adding that “IRGC sacrificed martyrs in Zionist airstrikes on training camps in Bekaa and Syria.”
