Hezbollah S.G. Sheikh Naim Qassem appeared via Al-Manar on the 25th anniversary of south Lebanon liberation, according to Al Manar English website.
At the start of his speech, Qassem said that “Resistance and Liberation Day crowned Lebanon’s stature in the region and the world.”
“Resistance and Liberation Day made weak Lebanon a powerful country,” he added.
According to Hezbollah leader, “‘Israel’ tried to impose the May 17 agreement, but the popular and national resistance prevented it.”
“Since 1982 the Israelis realized that they can’t settle in the Lebanese territory,” he also noted, continuing that ” ‘Israel’ attempted to impose another agreement but Lebanon refused and the occupation forces fled into the night leaving collaborators behind them.”
“This is a very great victory for the resistance and the sacrificing people who were able to crush ‘Israel’ by its unconditional withdrawal from south Lebanon,” he also said.
“Liberation of south Lebanon changed the course of the region politically and culturally as it moved us from frustration to hope,” Qassem added.
“After the liberation of south Lebanon the Resistance became a basic component of Lebanon,” the Hezbollah chief continued.
