Georges Abdallah Declares Support For Iranian Position in War

Georges Abdallah spoke in Beirut today during the launch of a national call for comprehensive resistance. His full statement is published below:

Our region is suffering from a comprehensive imperialist zionist attack. All of our nation’s entities are exposed to destruction. What happened in Syria and what will happen elsewhere lies in wait for us all.

Either we submit to the process of Somalization and accept its priorities or we confront it. Lebanon possesses all the qualities of steadfastness. Its fedayeen possess all the solid will and the necessary concepts for the success of the resistance process.

It is now time for our parties to rise to this level. This attack, which has failed miserably as is clearly evident before us. If we were to choose, we would have chosen no other than this resistance.

Let it be clear to everyone that the fundamental matter is if Iran were to lose today, history will sweep us all away. Either we stand on our feet and look to the future, and look toward Egypt restoring its position, and Turkey restoring its position, and Pakistan restoring its position side by side with Iran, and a comprehensive defeat for all imperialist allies mandates in our world, and consequently, we will create the new world.

Hezbollah announces Khaybar 2 operation amid heavy rocket fire

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced the launch of Khaybar 2 operations, signifying a new phase of escalation as part of the battle against the zionist occupation.

The operations are being carried out as part of Operation Devoured Straw to defend Lebanon and its people, in retaliation for the zionist aggression that has targeted a vast area of Lebanese villages and cities, including Beirut.

The eight coordinated operations focused on the occupied city of Haifa and its surrounding areas, with Hezbollah fighters striking the Stella Maris base, a strategic naval monitoring and surveillance base along the northern coast, with a salvo of rockets at 8:00 pm local time.

At the same time, the movement announced it targeted the Nasherim base southeast of Haifa with rocket fire and swarms of suicide drones.

Hezbollah also said it struck infrastructure linked to the zionist military in the Krayot area, north of Haifa, using additional rocket barrages.

In a fourth statement on the Khaybar 2 operations, the movement announced it also targeted Tefen Base (east of Akka) at 20:00, using rockets and suicide drones.

Separately, the Islamic Resistance said it fired four rocket salvos at four zionist settlements,  Shlomi, Shomera, Zar’it, and Nahariya.

What the zionist media is saying

In a related development, zionist Channel 12 reported that the Israeli military told settlers it had not detected any Hezbollah movement, indicating an imminent rocket attack, and therefore did not issue warnings.

Earlier,  reports stated that renewed rocket fire from Lebanon emerged, with sirens sounding in Nahariya, Akka, Haifa, and surrounding areas.

At the same time, waves of attack drones reportedly entered occupied Palestine’s airspace following the rocket barrages, triggering sirens across multiple settlements in the Upper al-Jalil.

Channel 12 said rocket fire from Lebanon toward the north had been “continuous,” reporting more than 40 rockets and drones launched toward the region.

Israel Hayom described around 20 minutes of uninterrupted rocket fire directed at Haifa and northern areas.

On its part, Channel 11  quoted former zionist military and intelligence officials as saying the Lebanese front represents a uniquely complex and layered battlefield compared with other arenas.

Hezbollah launched Khaybar 1

On March 17, Hezbollah announced the launch of Khaybar 1 operations. At the time, zionist media reported non-stop sirens across the occupied north of Palestine, as well as continuous rocket launches from South Lebanon.

The Resistance also emphasized that these strikes targeted military objectives only, unlike zionist attacks, which target civilians, stressing that the operations are meant to deter zionist aggression and prevent further escalation against Lebanon.

Resistance Organizations Continue to Denounce Zionist Execution Law

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine condemns, in the strongest terms, the “israeli” Knesset’s approval of the law to execute Palestinian prisoners in the occupation’s prisons, by a majority of 62 votes to 48. This step constitutes a dangerous qualitative escalation in the occupation’s policies and is a clear expression of its accelerating slide toward fascism and racist legislation.

This criminal law is considered a flagrant violation of all rules of international humanitarian law and reaffirms once again that the occupation state is nothing but a regime based on organized oppression and terrorism. It hides behind slogans of “democracy” and “rule of law” in a misleading attempt to improve its image before the world, while in reality, it practices the ugliest forms of systematic killing and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people.

The Front believes that the approval of this law comes in the context of an open war waged by the occupation government against our people, targeting the Palestinian human being in their life, dignity, and rights. This bloody approach will not succeed in breaking the will of our people or deterring them from continuing their legitimate struggle in all its forms; rather, it will make them more steadfast and attached to their fixed national rights, foremost among them freedom, independence, and self-determination.

The Front calls on the international community—governments, parliaments, political forces, and human rights organizations—to assume its legal and moral responsibilities, to break out of the state of silence and complicity, by condemning this racist law clearly and explicitly, and by taking practical steps to isolate the occupation government and hold it accountable for its crimes before international forums and courts.

The Front also demands the provision of immediate international protection for Palestinian prisoners in the occupation’s prisons, the guaranteeing of their full rights in accordance with the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law, and working to stop the policies of torture, medical neglect, and slow killing to which they are subjected daily.

Our Palestinian people, who have offered and continue to offer immense sacrifices, will remain loyal to their cause and firmer than all attempts at oppression and extermination, and will continue their struggle until achieving their full and undiminished national rights.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad:
—
In a dangerous escalation that represents a violation of all human, moral, and international norms and charters, the Knesset of the “israeli” entity approved this evening a law authorizing the application of the death penalty against Palestinian prisoners. This reflects the thirst for bloodshed among the entity’s leaders, the use of the parliamentary framework to pass extermination under the eyes of the entire world, and the transformation of prisons into arenas for political liquidation.

Passing this unjust and unfair law reveals that the legal and judicial system in the entity is nothing but a tool for political revenge aimed at misleading public opinion, no less brutal than the crimes committed by the occupation army in the field.

This decision constitutes a flagrant breach of the Geneva Conventions, particularly the Fourth Convention regarding territories under occupation. It also fundamentally contradicts the principle of prohibiting torture and cruel treatment, and rises to the level of crimes that warrant prosecution before international courts.

In the face of this escalation, the continued international and Arab silence constitutes blatant complicity, which requires a firm stance from international and humanitarian institutions, primarily the International Court of Justice and the UN commission of inquiry, to classify this law as a crime against humanity and work to pursue the entity’s leaders in all international forums.

The approval of this law will not achieve security for the occupation state, but will rather increase the region’s volatility and create a new reality in defense of the prisoners and to safeguard their lives.

We call on our people to escalate the confrontation with the occupation everywhere to strike down this law and save the lives of our prisoners.

Monday, 30 March 2026

This aggressive decision issued by an artificial, barbaric, and savage entity, which does not recognize any international law and does not adhere to any ethical standards, is a dangerous attempt to institutionalize execution, legitimize intentional killing, and create a false legal cover for a crime that already exists—one that this zionist enemy has practiced for decades against Palestinian prisoners through brutal torture, intentional medical negligence, and all forms of abuse, criminality, and inhumanity.

This entity has reached this level of insolence, arrogance, and criminality due to the shameful international silence and failure regarding all its perpetrations and massacres against children, women, civilians, and journalists, and its targeting of hospitals, schools, and shelters in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran. The international community’s continued policy of overlooking and complacency regarding those zionist crimes and its blatant violations of international and humanitarian laws will only lead to encouraging it to further persist in its crimes and complete the genocide against the Palestinian people.

Hezbollah, as it expresses its full and steadfast solidarity with the heroic Palestinian prisoners and the resisting people of Palestine, calls upon the international community with all its institutions, from the United Nations and the Human Rights Council to the International Committee of the Red Cross, to take urgent and immediate action to shoulder their legal, humanitarian, and moral responsibilities, work to stop this dangerous criminal descent, and secure the necessary protection for Palestinian prisoners unjustly imprisoned in the prisons of the terrorist occupation.
