On the first anniversary of the martyrdom of senior Hezbollah commander Sayyed Fouad Shokr (Sayyed Mohsen), his daughter, Ms. Khadija Shokr, affirmed the family’s unwavering commitment to the path of resistance, expressing their full readiness to sacrifice for its cause.
In an emotionally charged interview on Al-Manar TV’s Panorama Today show, aired Tuesday evening, Ms. Shokr shared a deeply personal glimpse into her father’s legacy, presenting items that were recovered from the site of his assassination in Beirut’s southern suburb, Dahiyeh.
A Legacy of Faith, Command, and Resistance
The broadcast delved into the multifaceted character of Sayyed Mohsen—his humanitarian spirit, spiritual depth, and strategic leadership. Rare, previously unseen footage chronicled his journey from the early days of Hezbollah’s formation through to the final moments before his martyrdom.
The footage underscored his unwavering dedication to building a unique and resilient resistance movement in Lebanon, both by strengthening its military capabilities and cultivating the fighters’ spiritual and ideological conviction.
The episode also featured handwritten wills that Sayyed Fouad had penned to his only son, Sayyed Mohammad Shokr. These heartfelt writings offered rare insight into the martyr’s profound piety, moral clarity, and the rare balance he embodied—between a compassionate, devout worshiper and a fearless battlefield commander.
A Devoted Grandfather and Loyal Brother-in-Arms
Ms. Shokr described the deep and affectionate bond her father shared with his 16 grandchildren, emphasizing the special joy he brought to the girls and the enduring friendship he fostered with the boys, which led them to love him with exceptional intensity.
She also spoke of his strong fraternal ties with fellow Hezbollah fighters and commanders, particularly highlighting his deep relationship with martyred Hezbollah leaders, including Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.
“My father devoted his life to the resistance, preparing us for this day. His greatest wish was always to end his life as a martyr,” she said.
A Continued Commitment to Resistance
Reaffirming the family’s enduring loyalty, Ms. Shokr declared, “Our family remains committed to this righteous path and will continue with the same determination. Hezbollah’s resistance does not depend on any one person.”
Addressing Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem with reverence, she added, “Our families look up to Sheikh Qassem as their leader and commander.”
“We see in the esteemed Sheikh Naim the wise guardian of the resistance—one who will carry forward the legacy of Sayyed Nasrallah and all Hezbollah’s martyred commanders and fighters until the full liberation of Palestine and the elimination of the Israeli occupation,” Ms. Khadija Shokr concluded.
