RNA – Speaking at the funeral ceremony of Hajjeh Amineh Salemeh in the southern suburbs ‎of Beirut, Hujjat al-Islam Na’im Qasim, the deputy secretary-general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah ‎‎Islamic Resistance movement, said, “[Imad Mughniyeh] was an integral part of the ‎foundations of the Islamic Resistance.”‎

Hajjeh Amineh Salemeh was known as the “Mother of the Resistance” following the ‎martyrdom of her first son Fuad (1984), second son Jihad (1994), third son and senior ‎Hezbollah commander Imad (2008) and grandson Jihad (2015), Imad’s son, who was ‎martyred along with five of his comrades in the Syrian city of Qunaytrah, following an Israeli ‎raid on their parade in January 2015.

Imad was assassinated on February 12, 2008 in a car bomb attack orchestrated by the ‎Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad.‎

Hajjeh Amineh passed away on October 8th at the age of 80. Her funeral was attended by ‎Hezbollah leaders and many political figures in Lebanon.‎

According to official results, Hezbollah and its political allies secured over half the seats.‎
