Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance (1):
Military Media of the Islamic Resistance
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
And permission has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, God is fully capable of giving them victory.
God Almighty has spoken the truth
In revenge for the pure blood of the Supreme Leader of the Muslims, His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Imam Sayyid Ali al-Husseini al-Khamenei, may his soul rest in peace, which was unjustly and treacherously shed by the criminal Zionist enemy, and in defense of Lebanon and its people, and as part of the response to the repeated Israeli attacks, the Islamic Resistance targeted, at midnight between Sunday and Monday, March 2, 2026, with a barrage of advanced missiles and a swarm of drones, the Mishmar al-Karmel missile defense site belonging to the Israeli enemy army south of the occupied city of Haifa. The Resistance leadership has always affirmed that the continuation of Israeli attacks and the assassination of our leaders, youth, and people gives us the right to defend ourselves and respond at the appropriate time and place.
The Israeli enemy cannot continue its aggression, which has lasted for fifteen months, without receiving a warning response to stop this aggression and withdraw from the occupied Lebanese territories.
This response is a legitimate defensive response, and those responsible and concerned must put an end to the Israeli-American aggression against Lebanon
And victory comes only from God, the Almighty, the Wise.
