Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah is set to deliver a televised speech on Friday, November 3, at a ceremony commemorating the martyrs who fell on the road to Al-Quds. The event will be concurrently held in Beirut’s southern suburb (Dahiyeh), the city of Nabatieh, Deir Qanun Al-Nahr, and Baalbek. The speech is scheduled to begin at 15:00 (Beirut time). This is his first address since hostilities began.
On October 25, Hezbollah released a handwritten letter signed by Nasrallah, calling for any members killed in the conflict to be called “martyrs on the path to Jerusalem”.
Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters chanted and waved flags outside the French embassy in Beirut on Tuesday, denouncing Western support for the Israeli military’s ongoing attacks of Gaza.
Israeli air raids hit a house in the southern village of Alma Shaab on Monday, according to Lebanese journal L’Orient-Le Jour. And Hezbollah announced the death of one of its fighters, its 49th casualty since October 7.
