The martyr Amad mughniyeh
Today marks the third anniversary of the divine and strategic victory over the Israeli army, politicians, and people in 2006. Many would comment on the words divine and strategic based on their different points of view but one thing is for sure a victory happened as admitted by the Israelis themselves. I’m still hyped up from Sayed Nasra’Allah’s speech that finished a while ago. He said many things but the focus was on Israeli recent threats and how to avoid war with the most important power against Israeli aggression on Lebanon which is the strength of Lebanon with its resistance and its unity.
He said that the Israeli threats are not applicable for the time being and one of its aims is psychological warfare that turned on them because of the settlers’ annoyance at the effect it has on tourism so Netanyahu changed his rhetoric and said it is just a “media storm”. Sayed Nasra’Allah also said be careful when the Israelis are quiet like a snake and not when they are ranting and raving on TV. As usual as-Sayed (as he is known in Lebanon-even though that is just a title but it is associated with him) set the standard for any future war with the Israelis: he confirmed that if Beirut or the south suburbs are hit then Tel Aviv will be hit, that every part of the occupation in Palestine is under the fire of the resistance, and their army will be destroyed if it dares invade Lebanon. Have no doubt the man means every word he says and the Israelis know it. Now they will be up and about trying to figure out what to do about the new standard. Yes it is a divine and strategic victory when a small group like Hizbollah can make the Israelis fumble around not knowing what to do, we set the conditions now not them! Read the third article I put, it is a story from a resistance fighter who fought in 2006.
News update: Sayyed Nasrallah: Bomb Beirut or Dahye, We Can Bomb Tel Aviv and Any Other Spot
“Israel” Between What’s Bitter and What’s More Biting
By MOHAMAD SHMAYSANI, al manar
The growing power of Hezbollah in the wake of the July 2006 war has been one of the main concerns in Israel as the so called ‘Second Lebanon War’ that was launched to crush the Islamic Resistance backlashed and had devastating repercussions in Tel Aviv. Israeli political and military echelons as well as intelligence bodies conceded defeat even before the Winograd Committee Report formally established it. Israel also admitted that Hezbollah has succeeded in the past three years in building a massive, advanced and powerful missile system that accurately covers every inch of occupied Palestine with a significant destructive ability.
“Since the Second Lebanon War, Hezbollah has tripled the number of its missiles that can now reach cities as Beersheva and Dimona,” Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said.
“Among Hezbollah’s missiles are heavy ones equipped with a guiding system such as the Fateh – 110 missile that can cover a range of 250 kilometers with a 500 kilogram warhead. Such missile is capable of very accurately hitting and destroying whole building blocs. Therefore, the Israeli army’s ability to deploy reserve soldiers and to direct IAF operations will be extremely complicated. This is why, in any future confrontation, we will see the IAF pulling back to the south to avoid such missiles,” Alon Bin David, an Israeli military expert, told Israeli television.
“We have to ask ourselves: Are we ready to cope with the expanding power of Hezbollah or are we going to take the initiative to counter it? This is problematic knowing that when Hezbollah decides something, no one can stand in its way,” Ami Dror, the former head of the research department in the Israeli military intelligence, said during a television interview.
Hezbollah’s missile system has been Israel’s main concern but not its worst nightmare. There have been speculations in Israel that Hezbollah now possesses effective air defense systems that, if true, could strip Israel of its main element of superiority: Its air force.
“Israel has conveyed a strong warning to Syria not to transfer air defense batteries to Hezbollah. There is serious concern in Israel that such systems could reach Hezbollah’s hands and could restrain the IAF’s reconnaissance operations over Lebanon,” Ehud Yaari, an Israeli expert in Arab affairs told Israeli television.
Confusion in Israel has been evident, especially when the Israeli security institution is sparing no effort to study every possible option to counter “Hezbollah’s growing force.” This indicates that recent threats by Israeli leaders only reflect Tel Aviv’s state of staggering between what’s bitter and what’s more biting.
Hezbollah warned Israeli that Hezbollah has been preparing itself on every level to face any future aggression, with more trained fighters and more surprises.
1948 -2006; Years of Defeats Over; Age of Victories Has Begun
By MOHAMAD SHMAYSANI, almanar
During the Nakba (Catastrophe) era in 1948, and while the Zionists were busy committing massacres in the Palestinian village of Deir Kassem and other towns, more Israeli soldiers were storming into the Lebanese town of Houla near the border with occupied Palestine, where they killed-massacre 90 inhabitants.
At that time, Lebanon decided to go for truce as its strength, back then, “was in its weakness.”
However the armistice never stopped Israel from attacking Lebanese towns, whenever it desired.
The result was the massacre of Hanine where residents were executed with axes; Yarine where all the homes were leveled on the heads of their occupants and Aytaroun where seven children were massacred, not to forget the massacres of Bint Jbeil, Rashaya, Kounine, Adloun, Abbasiyeh, Khiam and other villages.
Israeli gangs which constituted the kernel of the so called “Israel Defense Army” war closer to aggression than defense. Their massacres continued unabated for the next 20 years.
Most Lebanese still remember Israel’s bombing of Beirut’s International Airport in 1967, when the whole fleet of commercial planes was turned into twisted and riddled metal.
There was no reaction from Beirut, as the whole defeated Arab world plunged in a new era called the “Naksa” or the “Setback.”.
In the second half of the 1970’s, two years after the civil war broke out, Israel entered the phase of organized wars against Lebanon; 6 wars so far.
In 1978, Israel exploited the presence of the Palestinian resistance in Lebanon to execute its scheme: Establish a defensive line along the Litani River. The invasion was dubbed “Operation Litani”. 30,000 Israeli soldiers invaded south Lebanon and formed a 13km – deep “security zone,” with the help of then chief collaborator Saad Haddad.
The UN Security Council issued the renowned resolution 425 that stipulates the full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. Israel never implemented the resolution. In its years of occupation, Israel committed dozens of massacres in southern villages and towns under the eyes of the international community.
Israel launched its second war in 1981. Back then its allies, namely the Phalanges Party, were trapped in the Bekaa city of Zahle by National Forces as well as the Syrian army. The air, land and sea aggression on the western sector of the capital Beirut in particular, left behind 700 people killed and injured. Washington pressed Tel Aviv to accept a ceasefire. However, it violated the truce 2777 times.
Less than a year later, Israel launched “Operation Peace of the Galilee.”
It was nothing more than a barbaric invasion of Lebanon in which 100,000 Israeli soldiers, 1100 tanks and 100 fighter jets took part. 25,000 was the count of victims in this third war, not to forget the 1300 Palestinian refugees who were massacred in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.
Eventually, Israel deemed itself successful after it forced out the Palestinian resistance from Lebanon and imposed a pro-Israel regime in Beirut with which it signed a peace deal that was thwarted by national forces. Israel woke up to the reality that a new resistance force was on the rise and it was not long before it found itself in a fierce confrontation with it.
A year later, the Israeli occupation command had to order a withdrawal under the strikes of the young and inexperienced fighters redeploy, a process that extended until 1985, after at least 1200 Israeli soldiers were killed. The new area of occupation was now known as the southern security belt.
In 1985, Hezbollah announced its adaptation of previous resistance operations against the occupation and declared in an “open letter” its decision to resist Israel until liberation.
Israel and the resistance engaged in a war of attrition with its peak reached in 1993, when Hezbollah retaliated to bombing Lebanese villages resulting in massacres, with bombing the settlement of Kiryat Shmona. Israel’s response was launching “Operation Accountability.”
For seven consecutive days, the Zionist army bombed south Lebanon with no less than 27 thousand shells and another 1000 rocket. 120 Lebanese civilians fell martyrs and a quarter of a million others were displaced. It was Israel’s fourth war.
Three years later, Israel’s fifth war was dubbed “Operation Grapes of Wrath,” with its main objective: Crush Hezbollah. During 16 days, Israel carried out 1100 air raids and fired 25 thousand artillery shells on southern villages as well as Beirut’s southern suburb. The toll was 96 civilian martyrs and 165 others injured. In this war, Israel separately committed the first Qana massacre and killed another 118 men, women and children taking refuge in a UNIFIL post in the town. 400 houses and stores were completely destroyed and half a million Lebanese were displaced.
The war ended with an understanding known as the “April Understanding” which binds Israel not to target civilians.
With the humiliating withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from most Lebanese territory, the Lebanese deemed Israeli wars against their country over. But the 2000 pullout dragged a sixth war six years later; a war that far exceeded in violence and barbarism the five preceding wars because Israel, blessed by the US and some Arab states, wanted it to be the last and decisive engagement with Hezbollah.
Israel’s war backlashed and Lebanon became a hard number in the Israeli – Arab conflict.
“Israel is today under the pressure of accumulated downfalls. Sometimes we must observe our enemy and expect more conspiracies. We should be cautious from some of those around us because the conspiracy is not over yet,” Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Nasrallah warned.
The last but not least victory of Hezbollah and the resistance happened in July 2008, two years after the July 2006 war. It was another pledge by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah coming true.
Operation Al-Redwan, named after martyr Imad Moghniyeh (Hajj Redwan) who was assassinated in Syria four months earlier by the Israeli Mossad, closed the file of Lebanese captives in Israeli jails as well as the so called “cemetery of numbers” which embraced the remains of some 200 Arab martyrs. Hezbollah exchanged two dead Israeli soldiers with five Lebanese detainees and the remains of the Arab martyrs. Samir Kintar, who has multiple life-time sentences, was among the released, although Israel stated on many occasions that all captives are one case and Kintar was another nonnegotiable one.
Today, three years after the defeat of Israel in the July war of 2006, Israel is still violating UN resolution 1701 that ended hostilities, as confirmed by the United Nations. Israel is still threatening Lebanon with war, full force invasion and occupation of land and resources. The Winograd report that tackled the failures of the Israeli military and political failures in the 2006 war clearly states that Hezbollah defeated Israel and assessments in Tel Aviv, as well as Hezbollah statements, clearly state that the Islamic Resistance has become even stronger today with more capabilities and…surprises.
In its early decades, Israel’s ’strategic prowess’ was legendary, transforming a weak country into a regional power.
The past decade has seen an opposite process, whereby that powerhouse is starting to collapse. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stressed in a speech mourning martyr Moghniyeh that the countdown to Israel’s disappearance had begun since their first defeat. “It is them – the Israelis – who believe that the countdown to Israel’s collapse starts with the moment they are defeated,” Sayyed Nasrallah stressed; and Sayyed Nasrallah’s pledges have been proven to be always true.
Hizbullah Site Staff, 14-08-2009, source
“When fighting for a right, Allah’s fighting with you”. This is the conviction of tremendous numbers of people of dignity whether are honorable martyrs or still alive. It is the conviction of not only Hizbullah fighters but also thousands of Lebanese who believe the 33 days “Israeli” merciless attack on Lebanon is a Divine Victory to them and a total defeat to their brutal enemy.
Three years have passed since the “Israeli” warplanes launched waves of air strikes on Lebanon after Hizbullah successfully detained “Israeli” soldiers. Three years have passed since the “Operation Truthful Pledge” that led to the fruitful Radwan Operation- the release of all Lebanese detainees in “Israeli” prisons including dean of detainees Kintar…
Three years have passed since “Israeli” warplanes bombed inhabited cities and villages, civil infrastructure, different civil facilities and other targets under pretext of cutting off roads on any coming supply for Hizbullah.
Three years ago, “Israel” tried all means possible to destroy the Islamic Resistance even through targeting innocent civilians and tried pressuring Hizbullah through massacres and genocides, but was ignorant that its people’s souls feed and nourish on resistance. In return, the Islamic Resistance taught the Zionist state a hard and unforgettable lesson targeting mainly its army and weaponry. But this brutal “Israeli” attack and war ended with a Divine Victory for Lebanon, all Lebanon, against the Zionist enemy that still is in denial of its unprecedented defeat…
Today, in commemoration of three years since the Divine Victory, here is Hizbullah’s Site Staff special… some stories about resistance fighters, and others about civilians who fought their own way…
The 33 day bloody war on Lebanon holds within its folds stories of Hizbullah fighters who lived moments of resistance, strength, love and sacrifice for the land and in defense for rights and righteousness…
From villages and areas that were surrounded with gunfire, these same villages whose people achieved victory, are the source of stories in defense of the precious and pure land…
Here are some stories of resistance fighters who remain unknown, the mysterious men of God, who live among us like any other ordinary entity in society, until martyrdom reveals names and identities to surprise many of those who knew them and lived with them.
Rshaf fighter:
He was ordered to approach three houses in Rshaf village where “Israeli” army was located in, on the thirtieth day of war. Mirkava tanks and a military bulldozer were centered near the village’s pond. “Israeli” planes raiding civilians’ homes… Rshaf’s people evacuated their houses except for a few who preferred to stay and support the fighters and serve them… One of those is “Hajjeh Rshaf” as the fighter named her. She insisted to stay in order to bake and cook for the resistance fighters and take care of them, as she sees her soul is no more precious than theirs… (Hajje Rshaf is only a sample of tens and hundreds of Lebanese civilians who were ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of resistance fighters as they see themselves fighters in their own way and believe fighters, and the resistance deserve sacrifice)
Back to Rshaf fighter, who was now very close to the location where the Zionists stayed, but after five minutes of time, a few minutes of waiting outside the houses, his blood rushed boiling through his veins as he could no longer tolerate the presence of these land rapists, the Zionist soldiers. He instantly took out his gun and shot the first two soldiers that came to sight.. Then killed another two who stood out at the window to see what that noise was about. In a few seconds, Hizbullah fighters targeted the houses in which “Israelis” stayed, causing direct and severe damage. It was a hit target. Rshaf fighter ran out of ammunition and retreated to another point, Abu Thar compound.
There, Rshaf fighter met his brother and other resistance fighters who were also firing towards “Israelis” and fearlessly fighting them. He looked at his brother and told him to watch out and take care of himself to see his brother smile him and continue his mission.
Soon “Israeli” warplanes fired the spot, a few seconds it was when a missile from a drone plane separated between the two brothers throwing them each on a side and thick smoke came into sight.
Rshaf fighter’s face hit the ground as he fell down, then stood up and started calling his brother to find he is stained with his own blood and has martyred.
Five minutes of that battle froze as Rshaf fighter said his good byes and farewells to his dear brother caressing him, wiping blood out of his face and body and promising to follow his lead. Rshaf fighter came back to battle and joined his fellow brothers, the resistance fighters to continue their battle of Divine Victory…
Rshaf fighter’s will was stronger than ever. He loaded his gun and followed up with the other team as his leader requested him to. “Israelis” were about seven meters away now. Leader “Jaffal” asked the men to stay still for a few seconds as he moved forward to check the area with a rosary in his hand. Slowly approaching the target point, leader Jaffal was also targeted by a drone plane missile and achieved martyrdom. Confrontations and fights continued until there was cease fire. Rshaf fighter went out looking for his leader to find he has indeed tasted the sweetness of martyrdom.
Now, Rshaf fighter can burry his brother and his leader who were martyred a few seconds and less than a few meters away from him… and Rshaf fighter is still… a resister.
