Hezbollah’s media relations indicated, in a statement, that “the anniversary of the martyrs of journalism falls this year, and the blood of our fellow journalists and media professionals has not yet dried, pure blood shed in cold blood by the hand of Zionist treachery, while they were performing their lofty mission in conveying the truth about the criminality of this enemy devoid of all human values.” She said: "The martyrs of the press, throughout Lebanon's territory and history, painted with their blood the image of the true homeland; the homeland of sovereignty, unity and tolerance. They laid with their courage the foundations of freedom and independence, and were witnesses to truth and justice. They lived and were martyred for the sake of Lebanon, all of Lebanon, for the sake of its sovereignty, pride and dignity. They confronted the occupation in all its forms, and made the pen a deadly weapon and the word a platform of resistance in the face of injustice and aggression." She explained, "As we salute the martyrs of word, sound, and image, and the partners in the battle to defend humanity, dignity, and our homeland, Lebanon, in the face of the Zionist killing machine, we call for adherence to the national message for which they rose, and to be inspired by their principles and values ​​in promoting dialogue and tolerance, and consecrating the concepts of familiarity and love among the people of one nation." The party's media relations stressed that "this anniversary must be an incentive to strengthen the bonds of national unity, reject all forms of fragmentation and strife, and stand united in the face of the enemies of truth, freedom, and humanity."
