‘Israel’ Recalls Defeat each August

The story of 34-day military war on Lebanon started on July 12, 2006 when Hezbollah Mujahedeen captured two Zionist soldiers in the Lebanese occupied town of Khallet Wardeh, and destroyed armored Humvees patrolling the area, in order to exchange the captured soldiers by Lebanese prisoners in Zionist jails.

Zionist war machine responded with massive airstrikes and artillery fire on targets in Lebanon that damaged almost all the vital Lebanese infrastructure, including Beirut's international airport, imposed an air and naval blockade, and launched a ground invasion of southern Lebanon.

In response, the Mujahedeen launched more rockets into northern Occupied Territories and engaged the IOF in guerrilla warfare from hardened positions. The fiercest clashes were in the southern Lebanese towns of Aita Al-shaab, Maroun al-Ras and Bentjbeil.

SURPRISES

Hezbollah’s surprises started on the third day of the war, when ‘Israeli’ INS Hanit - a Sa'ar 5-class corvette - was targeted by Mujahedeen’s rocket, where at least 4 of its crew members were killed.

The second card was Hezbollah rockets reaching Tebrias on the fifth day of the war, followed by bombing Haifa on the same day as the third surprise.

On 17 July, 2006, Afoula surprisingly became under Mujahedeen’s Fajr rockets attacks. Yet, anti-armor missiles were the fifth element launched against the Zionist ground campaign in Lebanon. Merkava massacre in Hojeir Valley took place during the last three days of the war, where around 90 tanks were partially or completely destroyed.

Hezbollah promised to launch the sixth surprise; however, it hasn’t been declared yet ..
1701
On August 13, a final text of Resolution 1701 was distributed to the full UN Security Council, which unanimously accepted it.

It demanded a full cessation of all hostilities, the release of captured Zionist soldiers, and the deployment of 15,000 international troops to police the Lebanese border with the Occupied Palestine. The UN troops in the area would be joined by 15,000 Lebanese troops.
Moreover, Tzipi Livni, the then Zionist foreign minister, insisted that occupation troops would remain in southern Lebanon until a multinational UN force would be deployed, implying that deployment of Lebanese forces would not be sufficient for their withdrawal.

The war continued until August 14, 2006. Hezbollah took on the responsibility for thousands of rocket attacks against Zionist towns and cities in northern Occupied Territories, which Mujahedeen announced were in retaliation for Zionist killing of civilians and targeting Lebanese infrastructure, while breaching international norms and regulations.

RESULTS

On Lebanon's side, the war showed that Hezbollah, though seemingly just a guerilla, possessed the training and fighting ability of a well-trained regular army.

Technologically, the Mujahedeen surprised the ‘deterring power of Israel’ with the depth and range of their rockets. Fajr, Zelzal and Raad missiles landed as far south as Haifa. For the first time since before the 1967 war, major Zionist civilian population centers became under attack.
The war showed once again that the Lebanese government cannot defend alone its own territory or to keep other countries from attacking its people. July war had proved, since its early days, that the formula of ‘People, Army and Resistance’ is the only way to defeat Lebanon’s enemy.

By August 14, 2006, at 08:00 am, no more rockets were launched into the Occupied Territories. None of the Mujahedeen were on the scene. They all disappeared. They were only to defeat Israel and they are ready to defeat it anytime. On the Anniversary of the Divine Victory, we will exclaim our slogan: Disgrace.. NEVER EVER!
