"My brothers the heroes of the Intifada in Palestine, you own the greatest power in the world, you have great self-sacrifice martyrs, and victory shall be your ally, God willing."

Martyr Hasan Ahmad Nasser

Hasan Ahmad Nasser was born on the 8th of October, 1965 in Kuwait where his father used to work, but was originally from the Southern village of Al-Tiri.

When he became three years old, his family decided to return to Lebanon and resided in the Southern village of Kharayeb, which was his mother’s hometown.

He was raised in a devout family, and so he started performing prayers and fasting since he was a child, but his mother had the strongest role in bring up a religiously committed boy.

Hasan did not complete his education because of his family’s constant relocations as well as its financial and social difficulties.

He dropped out of school after completing the 8th grade, and started working in carpentry.

The martyr used to pray the Night prayer (Salatul-lail) and Al-Ghufaila prayer constantly, and these had a great effect on his spirituality.

When Hasan was 15 years old, he started learning about the thoughts of Imam Khomeini, and he regarded every leader for the Islamic Resistance as a role model that should be followed.

He went through several courses, and took part in different military operations against the Zionist enemy, dealing heavy blows to their ranks and killing a significant number of them.

Hasan sacrificed everything for the sake of gaining martyrdom, which was his dream since childhood.

In the Battlefield:

When the July 12, 2006 war erupted, Hasan left everything behind, taking off to the battlefield.

During the first week of war, Hasan was with a number of resistance fighters in one house. Israeli reconnaissance planes spotted the place and bombed it, causing its complete destruction.

Hasan was instantly martyred along with his friends, and his body remained under the rubble until the war was over.

After the war, Hasan’s body was taken out from under the rubble, and was still intact. He was buried in his hometown on the 19th of August, 2006.
