Hossein Mahmood al-Nader, nicknamed "Abu Saleh", was one of the commanders of Ezzeddin Qassam's battalions and the head of the "Nosrat  al-Aqsa" committee of the Lebanese Islamic Jamaat, was martyred on Monday, September 23, 2024, in the attack of Israeli aircrafts in his house in Jedideh Marjaeeyoon area in southern Lebanon. Playing a role in the field of education, advocacy and reform of society are among  his cultural activities.  

By attacking Hezbollah's headquarters and assassinating a number of other commanders at the same time and with attacking Hezbollah's infrastructure, Israel is seeking to gain grounding for a less challenging ground attack on southern Lebanon. In fact, before the ground invasion, it intends to weaken Hezbollah's command and control organization and combat organization to minimize the vulnerability of its army. The target of Israel's brutal and horrifying attack on the suburbs of Beirut with trench bombs has been announced as to martyr  Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah and the Hezbollah command staff. Regardless of the success or failure of the assassination operation, with the assassination operation against the Secretary General of Hezbollah and its official announcement, Israel has practically crossed all previous red lines and is drawing new rules against Hezbollah and the resistance  front .

By attacking Hezbollah's headquarters and possibly assassinating a number of other commanders at the same time as attacking Hezbollah's infrastructure, Israel is probably seeking to gain grounding for a less challenging ground attack on southern Lebanon. In fact, before the ground invasion, it intends to weaken Hezbollah's control and command organization and combat organization in order to minimize the vulnerability of its army. The attack on the suburbs of Beirut should be seen as a prelude to the escalation of the crisis and war, and the war between Israel and the resistance front  will enter a higher level of conflict<ref>'''A few points about Israel's horrific attack on the suburbs of Beirut, ISNA'''</ref>  .  

In its first response to the explosion of pagers and the martyrdom of a number of commanders of Al-Rezwan force by Israel, on the evening of Saturday 21 September, in an operation, Hezbollah fired a number of missiles towards the Israeli military base and military industrial complex in Haifa. Hezbollah, in a statement which it published on its Telegram channel on Sunday, September 22,announced that the successive attacks with tens of Fadi 1, Fadi 2 and Katyusha missiles on the Israeli military industrial complex in the north of Haifa city is the first response of this group to the Israeli attacks, including the security operation of exploding pagers and wireless radio devices and bombing the Al-Rezwan commanders' meeting<ref>'''Lebanon's Hezbollah: Attacks on Haifa are our initial response to pager explosions in Lebanon, the choice.'''</ref>.  

One of the locations targeted by Hezbollah’s operation is the Ramat David Airbase. This Airbase, which is located in the occupied area of ​​Naseriyah, in the Jazril valley, is the location of several squadrons of the Zionist Air Force and aircraft jets, including the 109 "Dare" squadron of F-16 aircraft jets, the 105 "Scorpion" squadron of F-16 aircraft jets -  Day Barrack, the 101   "First Fighter" Squadron - F-16 aircrafts.

Reuters quoted the information office of Hezbollah in Lebanon as saying that all statements and claims about the Zionist regime's attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut are baseless. Following today's bombardment of Beirut suburbs, Zionist circles have claimed the assassination of the Lebanese Hezbollah Secretary General in this incident.  

Naser  Kanani, the speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, strongly condemned the brutal and terrorist air attack of the Zionist regime on several residential buildings in the Dahieh area of ​​Beirut this afternoon. The speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized: This barbaric attack, which was carried out with bombs donated by the American regime to the rebel and rebellious Zionist regime, is considered a gross violation of the rules and regulations of international law as well as the sovereignty and territorial integrity and national security of Lebanon.

Referring to the brilliant history of the brave and heroic standing and persistence of the Lebanese Islamic resistance against the Zionists and the brutal expulsion of the occupiers from southern Lebanon, as well as the defeat of the Zionists in the 33-day war, the speaker  of the diplomatic department expressed confidence that the resistance and the people of Lebanon will continue from this stage.

On the other hand, the Hebrew base of Walla announced the alertness and intensification of security measures and increased alertness in the air and navy units of the Zionist regime in fear of the response of the resistance front.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, who is in New York, in response to the rumors about the assassination of Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon, in today's terrorist attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut,said:wait!

Once again, the Zionist regime caused widespread destruction in the area with a high concentration of innocent civilians with an air attack on the residential areas in the Hareh  Harik area in the heart of the Beirut suburbs, and in the continuation of its black anti-human record, it committed a new crime.  

The media of the Zionist regime reported that the embassies of the Zionist regime around the world are on alert for fear of a response to the brutal attacks of this regime on the southern suburbs of Beirut. The Hebrew newspaper Maariv also reported that the residents of the Upper Al-Jalil and Western Al-Jalil areas in the north of occupied Palestine have been asked to stay near the shelters. Zionist Radio also announced that shelters have been opened throughout the occupied territories for fear of retaliatory attacks by Hezbollah and the resistance  front .

The Zionist Radio and Television Organization reported that "in their initial estimate, Israeli officials believe that Nasrallah was present at the headquarters of the party located in the targeted building, but there is no final clue of his assassination."  

The United States claimed that we had no prior information about the attack on the suburbs of Beirut, we did not participate in the bombing operation, and we continue to gather information. Some Hebrew media reports that alarm sirens have sounded in different areas of the occupied territories in fear of Hezbollah and Iran's retaliatory operations.  

ABC News, quoting its source, wrote: Israel has informed the US that it will assassinate Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah one hour before Dahieh's operations. The Pentagon (US Department of Defense) claimed that we did not participate in Israel's military operation in Beirut today.  

Najib Mikati, the Prime Minister of Lebanon, who is in New York, is following the attacks on the Beirut suburbs, and in this regard, he contacted the army commander and was informed about the situation. In response to this attack, he said: This attack once again proved that the Israeli enemy does not pay attention to international efforts and requests to stop the war.

In this regard, the leader of Iraq's national wisdom movement stated in a media statement: The Zionist regime has caused widespread destruction in the area with a high concentration of innocent civilians by airstriking residential areas in the Harah Harik area in the heart of the Beirut suburbs.And once again, he has committed a new crime that will be added to the entire list of terror and war of this regime. He added: This cowardly attack once again proves to the world that the Zionist regime knows no bounds for its crimes and does not hesitate for a moment in committing the most brutal killings of civilians and does not pay the slightest attention to international laws. The leader of Iraq's national wisdom movement emphasized that,these attacks are not just military aggression, but a vicious attempt to terrorize and create sedition and disrupt the stability of Lebanon and the resistance of its hero and expand the circle of strife. Hakim said: We resolutely emphasize that these terrorist attacks will not be left behind easily and the enemy with all his brutality will not be able to break the decision of the resistance forces or bring the people of Lebanon to their knees and will not be faced with more resistance.And will fail to change the course of the war.
