Martyrdom

Fuad Ali Shukr, with the alias "Sayyid Mohsen", was wanted by Israel due to his fundamental role on the Palestine and Lebanon fronts in confronting the aggression of the occupying regime. Finally, in a terrorist attack by Israeli drones in the Dahieh suburb of Beirut, targeting a building in Haret Hreik on the evening of Tuesday, 30 July 2024 CE, he was martyred along with three women, two children, and an Iranian advisor, Milad Bidi. This terrorist act was the second attack by this regime on the capital of Lebanon after the assassination of Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy head of the Hamas political bureau. After this attack, Israel claimed that it was a response to a missile strike on the football field of the Majdal Shams town, which caused the death of 12 of its residents, and that Fuad Shukr, as the missile commander of Hezbollah, had a role in it. However, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced in a statement, while denying any attack on the Majdal Shams area located in the Occupied Golan of Syria: Hezbollah denies the claim of the occupying regime's media regarding the missile attack on Majdal Shams and emphasizes that the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon had no connection with this attack and denies carrying it out. Additionally, the American news outlet Axios, citing a US official, emphasized that Hezbollah stated the cause of the incident in the Majdal Shams area in the Occupied Golan of Syria was an Israeli anti-aircraft missile[1].

The Secretary-General of Hezbollah also said regarding the assassination of the commander of this movement: The enemy's goal was fundamentally the assassination of the great jihadist commander, "Hajj Mohsen".

Martyrdom is the highest rank of "presence before the Lord" which the divine saints have called "the best of nearnesses" and the lovers have seen as "sweeter than honey", and how ignorant are the enemies lurking in the darknesses who, thinking of revenge, threaten the sincere servants of God Almighty with it! In fact, they are building a bridge for us to reach the Beloved! And how magnificently our martyrs have addressed these wretches and said joyfully: Tear open our chests to see that there is nothing but the desire for union within them.

I sincerely offer condolences and congratulations on the fruitful martyrdom of the brave commander of the Resistance, Martyr of Jerusalem "Abu Mohsen Fuad Shukr" from the progeny of the martyrs of Ashura and the chain of mujahideen of Husayni Karbala and the dear martyrs accompanying him who attained this great grace in the recent terrorist crime of the Zionist regime in the Suburb of Beirut, to Your Excellency who are the caravan leader of the mujahideen and the proud martyrs of the Resistance, and many in the radius of your love and spirituality sang the divine hymn "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Among them is he who has fulfilled his vow [to the death], and among them is he who awaits [his chance]", and also to the individuals of the resistant and brave nation of Lebanon and the fighters of the powerful Front of the Islamic Resistance. Undoubtedly, the dear martyr Hajj Mohsen is the summary of the martyrs of the blessed movement of Hezbollah Lebanon and the harbinger of the great victory of the Front of Truth, and the enemies of the Islamic Ummah, especially the criminal, felonious, and terrorist band of the Zionist regime and the killers of oppressed women, children, and men of Gaza and their supporters, should await the holy anger and hard and certain revenge of the faithful, determined, and willing mujahideen of the axes of the Islamic Resistance and their blood vengeance[6].
