Hezbollah has reaffirmed its commitment to the path of resistance against Israeli aggression, paying tribute to its fallen fighters, Lebanese army servicemen, civilians and laborers, and stressing the need to safeguard national achievements, uphold workers’ rights and strengthen social justice.

In a statement marking Hezbollah’s Martyrs’ Day, the movement’s Labor and Unions Unit paid special tribute to those who sacrificed their lives in defense of Lebanon’s territory, dignity and sovereignty.

It also paid homage to the martyrs, saying their pure blood had paved the way for honor and dignity, protected Lebanon and its citizens, and made stability a symbol of loyalty.

“Martyrs are outstanding examples of those who demonstrate that attachment to homeland acquires meaning in actions and assumption of responsibility.”

The statement highlighted that Lebanese laborers will always remain a fundamental pillar in the national resistance battle, a partner in supporting state institutions and guardians of Lebanon’s dignity and security.

Hezbollah’s Labor and Unions Unit stressed that loyalty to the martyrs of the resistance front, the Lebanese army, the nation and fallen laborers cannot be expressed through words and slogans alone, but must be demonstrated by protecting rights, defending livelihoods, promoting social justice, supporting the families of martyrs and the injured, and confronting policies aimed at impoverishing people and undermining the foundations of a dignified life.

Separately, the Lebanese Ummah Movement paid tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for Lebanon, praising their noble status and stressing that martyrdom has always been synonymous with sacrifice and devotion.

The movement described the blood of the martyrs as a trust passed down through generations, calling for the protection of national achievements, adherence to foundational principles and values, and continued loyalty to the families of the martyrs.

The Ummah Movement also paid tribute to Lebanese and Palestinian resistance factions, their fighters and martyrs, particularly the martyred Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, emphasizing that Resistance is a main pillar in confronting Israel and protecting Lebanon against the regime’s greed.

The movement finally underlined the need to enhance national unity, reject divisive bids, rally around factors that preserve the independence and sovereignty of the country, and protect the dignity of the nation.
