Please, can someone explain to me how this is not a death cult?
Khreis’s son, Mahdi, a 33-year-old father of two, was a fighter who was killed on October 29, 2024. A poster of him in military fatigues hangs next to the cafe next to two other fighters, all under the slogan, “Martyrs on the road to Jerusalem.”

“My son was a resistance fighter. He is one of the ones who remained here and fought here. And he was martyred here,” Khreis said. “The occupation didn’t want us to return here but we returned through the blood of our martyrs.”
“We made a solidarity front with Gaza, and the Sayyed was martyred,” Khreis said, using the honorific term to refer to Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s long-serving secretary-general who was assassinated in a massive Israeli air raid on September 27. “Everyone that was martyred here was martyred for Gaza.” Khreis and his family will travel to Beirut to attend Nasrallah’s official funeral ceremony on Sunday where massive crowds are expected.
