RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers in the ‎Lebanese capital Beirut, Hujjat al-Islam Hasan Sharifah, the Secretary of Endowments in the ‎Supreme Islamic Shi’ah Council of Lebanon, said, “The action taken by the United States to ‎martyr Major General Qasem Soleymani and his Iraqi companions is condemned.” ‎

The Lebanese Shi’ah scholar remembered the martyrs, Major General Soleymani and Abu ‎Mahdi al-Muhandis, as those who inflicted painful blows on the Daesh terrorist group and ‎destroyed its roots.‎
‎ ‎
Hujjat al-Islam Sharifah described this American crime as an act of aggression that would ‎exacerbate tensions in the region and will afflict it with a bad fate.‎

On the morning of Friday, January 3rd, it was reported that Major General Qasem Soleymani, ‎the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), and ‎Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the second-in-command of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces, have ‎been killed in American airstrikes in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.‎

This was confirmed by the IRGC hours after news was reported of an explosion and that ‎rocket fire had hit two cars near Baghdad airport.‎

In a statement issued by the IRGC said, “The proud commander of Islam, Haj Qasem ‎Soleymani, was killed in an attack by American helicopters today after a long lifetime of ‎struggling.”‎
