The deputy chief of Lebanon's powerful Shiite militant group Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem speaks during the funeral of Mustafa Badreddine, a top Hezbollah commander who was killed in an attack in Syria, at the martyrs' cemetery in the Ghobeiry neighbourhood of southern Beirut on May 13, 2016.
Hezbollah announced that Badreddine had been killed in an attack in Syria where the Shiite militant group has deployed thousands of fighters in support of the Damascus regime. The group said it was still investigating the cause of the blast near Damascus airport but it did not immediately point the finger at Israel as it did when the commander's predecessor was assassinated in the Syrian capital in 2008.

Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General, Sheikh Naim Qassem stressed that the Hezbollah victory over the Israeli enemy in 2006 had changed the geopolitical formulas in the Middle East, pointing out that the resistance path had attracted a great number of the free people who insist on regaining rights independently.
Domestically, sheikh Qassem considered that corruption and dereliction are worse than the deteriorating economic situation, reiterating that Hezbollah will keep supporting the soci-economic rights of all the Lebanese.
