Two years since Nasrallah's elimination
Hezbollah holds memorial events in Shiite villages and at the terror leader's grave, while much of Lebanon quietly marks the anniversary with relief
Two years after Nasrallah's death in an Israeli strike, a heavy and daring air assault on Hezbollah's underground military fortress in the heart of Beirut, the Shiite villages and Hezbollah are commemorating the arch-terrorist who was described as the center of the Iranian axis.
Hezbollah held a major memorial event at the elaborate grave of the eliminated terrorist, during which Nasrallah's pale successor praised his greatness, influence and achievements "in leading the resistance."
The terror organization is attempting to use these memorial events to reinsert itself into Lebanon's political discourse and preserve some of the enormous relevance Hezbollah held during the eliminated leader's lifetime.
Beyond the central events organized by the terror group itself, several smaller demonstrations of support were recorded across Shiite villages and population centers in the country. But unlike the past, when Hezbollah was at home in Lebanon's corridors of power, the official state gave the terror organization a cold shoulder, and even those who had been Hezbollah's allies in parliament avoided any attendance or amplification of the organization's messages.
