BEIRUT: On the eve of Internatioal Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day, powerful Lebanese resistance grup, Hezbollah displayed a large banner near the border with Israel that reads: we are coming in both Arabic and Hebrew.
Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar, reported also that the group was planning to hold a ceremony marking the Al-Quds Day in the hill where the banner was hoisted.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah will be appearing on TV on Friday to deliver a speech that will be marking Al-Quds Day according to the daily.
Sayyed Nasrallah announced that due to the recent regional developments, there must be particular attention and special participation in celebrating this year’s al-Quds Day.
Earlier in a televised speech on the night of al-Qadr Nasrallah said that before 2006 war, Hezbollah used to celebrate al-Quds Day, called for by Imam Khomeini, with bulky military parades, and a large turnout.
“Because the Israelis are hunting our leaders as they have killed Haj Imad Mughniyeh and others”, Nasrallah said this year Hezbollah will change the pattern of protests marking the day.
“Due to the security considerations and based on the sense of religious responsibility, we cannot gather thousands of soldiers and leaders in one spot because the Israeli enemy aims at avenging for its defeat by Hezbollah.”
Al -Quds Day is an annual event that was conceived originally in 1979 by the leader of Irans Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. It is held on the last Friday of the fasting month of Ramadan to express solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposing Zionism as well as Israels control of Jerusalem; Al-Quds is that citys Arabic name.
Quds Day is also commemorated in several countries in the Arab and Muslim world with protests against the Israeli occupation of Jerusalem.
