LEBANON
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, whose group carried out several suicide attacks on Israeli forces in Lebanon, urged Palestinians not to give up “martyrdom” operations.
“The experience of the Lebanese resistance is that those who love death defeat those who are afraid of death,” he said.
Addressing a rally in Beirut to mark two years since Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon, Nasrallah said suicide attacks were a locally made weapon that Israel could not contain.
“The culture of martyrdom is the strongest weapon. It does not carry a ‘made in U.S.A.’ or ‘made in Soviet Union’ stamp,” he told 20,000 supporters.
