Sheikh Atwi paid last services South Lebanon
Beirut - Saba: This evening, Tuesday, the Lebanese people buried the body of Sheikh Hussein Izzat Atwi, a leader in the Islamic Group in Lebanon, in the town of Al-Habariyah. Atwi was martyred following an Israeli airstrike on his vehicle in the town of Bawarta in Mount Lebanon. Party delegations from the region, mayors, mukhtars, scholars, social figures, and prominent figures participated in the funeral, along with a broad participation from the people of the Arqoub region and its surrounding areas, along with delegations from several Lebanese cities and regions. In this context, Dr. Bassam Hammoud, Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Group in Lebanon, emphasized that "the cowardly assassination carried out by Zionist enemy aircraft against Commander Atwi is evidence of the criminal and Nazi nature of this Zionist enemy, which, as we have known, does not abide by treaties and agreements, nor does it care about international law and international institutions." Hammoud added in a statement to Quds Press on Tuesday, "After repeated assassinations by the enemy army, how long will we tolerate this persistent Zionist criminality? How long will we remain a spectator to the killings, assassinations, destruction, and abuse?" This was in reference to holding the Lebanese state and government responsible for the enemy's violations in Lebanon. He considered that "the US administration is not a neutral party, but rather a de facto partner of the Zionist entity in all its persistent crimes," calling on the countries that sponsored the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon to "assume their responsibility in pressuring the enemy to abide by the ceasefire." Enemy aircraft assassinated Sheikh Hussein Atwi, a leader in the "Fajr Forces," the military wing of the Islamic Group in Lebanon, in an airstrike targeting a vehicle near the town of Naameh, south of Beirut.
