So Sad....
So Awful....
So Devastating.....

Hajj Al Asheq ( Lover ) was one of my heroes and I looked up to him. He was a role model for me as I grew up admiring our heroic resistance.

My heart felt condolences go to his family and friends......... in Iran.

"Hizbullah has announced that one of its top commanders has been killed while fighting Islamic State militants in Syria."
STFU! Each time these scumbags go on a killing spree of people who disagree with them they claim they are fighting some just war. They're just murderous terrorists who want to be treated like if they've done something good.
