'Israel' meddling with Al-Aqsa to lead to regional war: Nasrallah
Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stressed during his speech made on the occasion of Resistance and Liberation Day that the victory achieved in 2000 was the greatest in modern history.
The new generation must be made aware of the humiliation the people of Lebanon suffered at the Israeli occupation's military checkpoints and in its prisons, in addition to the Israeli violations of the most basic human rights, its aggression, and its racism, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday on the 22nd anniversary of Resistance and Liberation Day.
Sayyed Nasrallah underlined that the day the resistance defeated "Israel" and liberated Lebanon was a God-given day and congratulated the supporters of the resistance on the day celebrated to commemorate the resistance ridding Lebanon of the Israeli occupation.
"Praised be to Allah, who put us on the path of resistance, which made us not wait for a single Arab regime, the United Nations, nor the UN Security Council," the Hezbollah chief said, voicing his gratitude to all the people who made sacrifices from all resistance factions and various sects, "especially the martyrs and their families."
Sayyed Nasrallah also thanked those wounded in action against the Israeli occupation and those who spent years in the occupation's detention centers, the resistance fighters' sacrifices on the battlefronts, and "the steadfast, patient people all over the villages of Lebanon."
Furthermore, he thanked the Lebanese army, especially for its actions in the late 1990s, as there was "a lot of harmony with the resistance, the Syrian Arab Army, and the Palestinian resistance factions."
Finally, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah thanked the Islamic Republic of Iran for all it offered. "They were very generous, and what it offers is no longer secret, especially the pivotal role of martyr Major General Hajj Qassem Soleimani."
People must know who is the true protector of sovereignty
"We must, on the anniversary of liberation, recall the suffering of the Lebanese people at the hands of the occupation since 1982, and everything that happened then, from bombings, terrorism, and displacement," the resistance chief stressed.
"The Lebanese people must know the true colors of this entity that is trying to appear as normal and blend in with the peoples of the region," he underscored.
In light of the latest national developments, Sayyed Nasrallah asked, "Are the ones who care about the sovereignty of Lebanon those who remain silent for decades about the occupation and accept the May 17 agreement?"
"The people must know who is the true protector of Lebanon's sovereignty," he added.
"The achievement made in 2000 is the greatest in modern history, and it is an unblemished victory met with great pride from the Arab World, the Islamic World, and Lebanon," he said.
"Our victory in 2000 shattered the illusion of the 'invincible' army, crushed the project of 'greater Israel', and gave hope to the Palestinians for liberation," the leader explained. "We must exhibit our sacrifices, for this victory did not come for cheap. It was made possible with blood, tears, worn hands, and fingers on triggers. We must show who resisted the occupation, who conspired against the people of their own country, and who stood on that hill. This is not to open up old wounds but to show who actually fought the occupation."
