Martyrs are models of nobility.

Martyr Yasser Mustapha Sabra

 

Yasser Sabra was born in Nairobi/Africa on the 5th of October, 1968, but was originally from Hadatha village, south Lebanon.

Yasser, from a Muslim father and a Christian mother, was born and raised in Africa.

When he was 13 years old, his father died in a car accident, and so he came back to Lebanon, and later traveled to Switzerland to study and work.

Martyr Yasser was influenced by the European positive manners, while preserving his sincere conservative nature.

And so, he was uniquely polite, respectful, generous, honest, noble, and courageous.

In 1988, Yasser met a Lebanese resident in Switzerland and started learning from him about the genuine Islamic religion and about the resistance in Lebanon.

Resistance news headed local and international media, as that period was the climax of the Zionist entity’s outrageous operations and confrontations on the Lebanese lands.

Yasser was affected by this atmosphere, and so he returned to Lebanon, along with his Lebanese friend, to reside in Hadatha.

As soon as Yasser went to Lebanon in 1992, he joined the Islamic resistance and took part in various operations against the Israeli occupation.

In the Battlefield:

In 2006, he took part in Hezbollah’s confrontations against the Israeli attacks, and fired missiles at Israeli targets in the occupied Palestinian territories until the 30th day of war.

It was a Friday; he completed all the rituals and performed Friday prayers. His wife was watching him and she was later quoted as saying: “It seemed like it was the last time he was going to pray. He looked like he was bidding farewell to the prayer”.

At 12 midnight of that eve, the Israeli shelling on Hadatha intensified. Yasser received info about the possibility that the Zionist forces will conduct an airdrop in Rmeish, and so he started deploying the resistance fighters in the region.

Shortly after, he received other info about the enemy deploying around 450 soldiers in Hadatha.

Direct clashes between the resistance fighters and the Israeli forces broke out, and according to fighters who were in the battlefield, Yasser killed too many occupation soldiers, but was eventually targeted by a missile from an Israeli reconnaissance plane, which killed him instantly.

The martyr’s body remained in the battlefield until the military operations were over, and so he was buried on the 21st of August in his hometown Hadatha.
