The All India Shia Personal Law Board has voiced strong condemnation over the recent killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by Israeli forces. Maulana Yasoob Abbas, the General Secretary of the Board, expressed profound sorrow regarding Nasrallah's death and highlighted the significant role he played in defending the holy shrine of Hazrat Zainab, the daughter of Imam Ali, during the attacks by ISIS.
In his statement, Maulana Abbas praised Nasrallah as a powerful Shia leader who consistently advocated for the rights of the Palestinian people in their struggle against Israeli aggression. He described Nasrallah's death as a tremendous loss for the Muslim community and held Israeli forces accountable for the incident.
As a mark of respect, Maulana Abbas has called upon the Shia community to observe three days of mourning and to raise black flags atop their homes. He further urged the United Nations to exert pressure on Israel to cease its aggressive actions against both Palestine and Lebanon. The Maulana underscored that Nasrallah's death represents an "irreparable loss" and asserted that he will be remembered as a champion of the oppressed.
In a related development, a protest march took place in Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir, expressing outrage over Nasrallah's killing by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The President of JK Anjuman-e-Sharie, Shian, Aga Syed Hassan Mosavi Al Safavi, emphasised that no amount of mourning could suffice for Nasrallah's death.
He articulated that Nasrallah's vision was for a liberated Palestine and indicated that his sacrifice would inspire many to continue the fight for this cause. He assured that the mission Nasrallah championed would live on and thrive through future generations.
Earlier in the day, the IDF confirmed the killing of Hassan Nasrallah during airstrikes conducted in Beirut. The Israeli military stated that Nasrallah would no longer be able to instil fear globally.
In the same operation, Ali Karaki, a commander of Hezbollah's Southern Front, and several other commanders were also reported killed. The strikes were aimed at Hezbollah’s headquarters located in the Dahiyeh area of Beirut, which is known to be a stronghold for the group and is situated underground beneath residential buildings.
The IDF specified that the airstrike was executed while top Hezbollah officials were at their headquarters, allegedly coordinating terror activities against Israeli civilians. The military also disclosed that numerous anti-ship missiles stored by Hezbollah in Beirut were destroyed during these airstrikes.
The killing of Hassan Nasrallah has sparked intense reactions both within and outside the region, highlighting the ongoing tensions in the Middle East and the complex web of conflicts involving Israel, Hezbollah, and Palestinian groups.
As the situation continues to unfold, the repercussions of Nasrallah's death are expected to resonate throughout the region, potentially impacting the dynamics of power and resistance.
