Lebanon Implements Security Measures for Martyrdom Anniversary of the Resistance Leader
The English section of webangah News Agency, citing mehr News Agency and al-Nashra website, reported that ahead of the first anniversary of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s martyrdom-the secretary-general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah-official and unofficial Lebanese security agencies remain on high alert before planned commemorative events.
The Lebanese newspaper Al-Joumhouria reported increased security measures across many regions in Lebanon, especially in areas designated for honoring Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. These precautions aim to anticipate any emergency situations and prevent security breaches throughout Lebanon.This readiness comes amid multiple reports and rumors alleging that the Zionist regime is preparing direct or proxy terrorist operations inside Lebanon.
A Lebanese security source told Al-Joumhouria, ”Numerous rumors and reports circulate with fabricated scenarios unrelated to reality. They serve only to intimidate and scare people. Still, all military and security institutions are fulfilling their duties responsibly.”
The source emphasized that all necessary measures are in place to thwart sabotage attempts. All security agencies remain vigilant, conducting operations deliberately and carefully. “We always urge citizens to stay highly alert, exercise caution, and assist security bodies in performing their tasks,” the source added.
Meanwhile, discussions continue about Hezbollah’s intention to illuminate Raouche Rock (Pigeons’ Rock) with images of Martyrs sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine as part of the first-anniversary commemorations for these resistance leaders. Reports indicate a Hezbollah-affiliated association has submitted a notification regarding a gathering at Beirut’s corniche area opposite raouche Rock for this purpose.
Informed sources said that while respecting public freedoms including assembly rights, Beirut’s governor granted permission for the gathering under strict conditions: no road closures or traffic disturbances allowed; no damage inflicted on public property; furthermore-and following directives issued by Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam-the illumination of Raouche Rock with images of these martyred leaders will not be permitted.
Additional information suggests that today lebanese security forces will deploy around Raouche-both on land and at sea-to prevent any attempt to light up the rock.
In this context, Al-Akhbar newspaper revealed circulating rumors claiming organizers have pledged not to illuminate Raouche Rock with pictures of Martyrs Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine; though, available information indicates no such commitment was made yet, leaving final decisions dependent on Hezbollah’s discretion.
