Syria proved Israel’s weakness in face of resistance: Lebanon's parliament chief

Marking the 48th anniversary of the October War, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has lauded Syria’s resistance that has exposed illegal Zionist entity’s weakness.

In a message to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Berri marked the 1973 war, known as the October War, expressing confidence that “the men who made [victory in] October of Liberation are able today to make ... [a permanent victory] in the face of terrorism and siege... that keeps Syria strong and impregnable and a focal point for Arab identity,” Lebanon's al-Ahed news website reported on Wednesday.

Berri said that October 6, 1973 marks the sacrifices of valiant Syrian army officers and soldiers.

“Syria has proven the powerlessness of the Zionist regime in the face of the Arabs’ right to resist to liberate their lands, as Syria had … an unyielding determination and an unbreakable will to restore the entire territory of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights,” he added.

The international community recognizes the Golan Heights to be official Syrian territory and widely rejects Israeli military occupation.
