⚠️ So the enemy must understand that their killing of our women and children will increase our determination to respond.

⚠️ This can also not pass without a response. So yesterday, while we usually file one Falaq rocket at a time, yesterday we fired several of them at Kiryat Shmona in addition to katyusha rockets.

⚠️ And this is just our preliminary response. The enemy will pay blood for blood for the killings in Nabatiyeh.

⚠️ I will not detail or explain too much -- I will leave it to the battlefield and the planning of the mujahideen. I will leave this to time, so the enemy and the friend will see that the price of this blood will be blood; not just vehicles, or positions, or installations. So the enemy will see after that they cannot touch civilians, especially our women and children

- Despite all this killing, the Americans and the Israelis must know they are also facing a people that will not back down in Palestine no matter the sacrifices.

- So, we say again, this [Lebanon] front will not stop, no matter what they do. Their crazy defense minister is talking about 50km -- he forgets that Hezbollah possesses rockets that give it a reach from Kiryat Shmona to Eilat

- It is important to prevent the enemy from committing massacres. When Yemen got involved, the int'l community intervened. But what Yemen and Ansarullah did, targeting Israeli ships or ships headed to Israel, was very important. So at that point, the US w/UK came to help Israel to focus on Palestine and Lebanon, and starting bombing Yemen. From the beginning, the brave and wise leadership in Yemen assessed that the goal was to stop their activities. So how do we respond? We respond by insisting on that goal and not by going to another goal

- The main battle is to continue attacking Israeli ships or ships destined for Israel NOT to start a war with US bases in the region. This is what Netanyahu wants, and perhaps what the US wants.

- The Yemenis have continued to attack on the ships despite weeks of US, UK attacks. Revenge, making them pay a price, that is coming, but for now the goal of supporting Gaza remains. So not going to any side battles that detract from the main goal, and continuing the action is important above all

- This brings to another point, what is being talked about shamelessly in Lebanon and bashfully in Palestine -- the price of resistance.

So to what do you call us for, oh wise ones, besides surrender? Before the greedy American project in the region, before the Zionist enemy and its extermination in the region. We have two options, therefore, surrender or resistance.

- Which has more of a price? Resistance obviously has a price, but the price of surrender is huge, dangerous, unbearable, and existential. Surrender means, in Lebanon, for example that Israeli settlements would be in south Lebanon to the Awali River, or at least the Litani, or the expulsion of the Lebanese from their lands occupied by Israel; American hegemony over Lebanon, and a Zionist ambassador would be running the country, there would be no independence or sovereignty; that the detainees in Atlit and elsewhere would remain in prison; There would be no dignity, there would be slavery -- this is surrender, whose price is very heavy.

- Had the Palestinian people surrendered 75 yrs ago, as the Arab world has even demanded, the people of Gaza and WB, and even 48 Arabs, would be outside, and Israel would have controlled not just Palestine but the entire region; but resistance has forced the enemy to live in existential fear

- Look at Algeria, where something like 2 million martyrs were offered, had Algeria ever been liberated? It would have still been enslaved and occupied, and there would have been museums made of the skulls of Algerians in Algiers.

- Iran is the same thing. Iran was a tool of the United States, until the Iranian people, led by Khomeini, offered sacrifices to liberate themselves.

- How can hundreds of millions of Arabs and 2 billion Musllims sit by -- in surrender to US hegemony -- that they cannot even bring food and medicine to Gaza, forget weapons. This is surrender, it brings you to this humiliation. Resistance forces Israel, the US, NATO to shake and quake, and be forced to come to our region

- New legends have emerged since 10/7. Israeli media tried to accuse Hamas, first and foremost, but also others who participated in Al-Aqsa Flood, claiming Hamas raped women; Some U.S. journalists repeated these claims, killing of children and burning the bodies of the victims; This was so strong that even Arab countries, even countries friends of Hamas, condemned. Not because any proof was offered, but because Israel said. Hamas and PIJ came out and said this didn't happen. But Hamas was likened to ISIS, to destroy Hamas, to create legitimacy to destroy Hamas. This was the biggest fabrication ever -- but the Israeli could not offer a single child to the world that was slaughtered, a single woman raped; even the civilians killed in the settlements were killed by Israeli tanks, planes, and helicopters. Officers and media called this out, and it was shut down. Why did they close this conversation? Because then the moral authority of Netanyahu and Biden's war would be lost

- Now, no one likens Hamas to ISIS anymore -- because they know the truth. European intelligence officials come to Lebanon and tell us they were misled, that they never saw any proofs of the Israeli claims. But now they are silent, they did not apologize -- but it is our duty, even to say a word, even in their own house, because many believed the Israeli historical fabrication
👍97🫡22👎12🤬3🔥2
- This same pattern occurred w/UNRWA -- the Israelis haven't offered a single proof, UN's Lazzarini said they never offered any proof; meanwhile Israel is slaughtering on cameras, but no one stops them. UNRWA, they cut off immediately, Hamas they condemn immediately, but Israel gets off.

- The Palestinian Resistance since 10/7 has been subjected to the worst slander and libel of against any resistance organization in our region. Anyone who can write or speak must do so to show the truth. Otherwise, you will get to a point where you won't be able to talk about the war in Gaza just like how debating the Holocaust in Germany would lead to your imprisonment and accusing you of antisemitism. They will make the debate against the Israeli narrative in Gaza criminal.

(FDD's David Daoud's translation on some phrases is failing to capture the meaning and misinterpreting it)

- The US administration's stance on Palestine is the biggest hypocrisy of history -- to apply international law, allow in aid.

Nothing but weapons are going to Israel every day. Today, if Biden decides, the war would end, whether Netanyahu wants to or not. The whole of US strength is going to Israel's assistance.

You're going to tell me that Arab leaders genuinely, had it not been fear of the US, would not have done something, even to send aid? This is all a result of enslavement to America


- The US interlocutors initially promised an end to the battle by December. Then by end of January. Then, as Biden was talking to Netanyahu, they killed 100 martyrs while doing  this theater of freeing two hostages that they bought with money

⚠️ Sayyed Nasrallah says the two Israeli hostages freed from Rafah were sold by their captives to Israel, implying they weren't held by the resistance.

-  I will tell you something more -- the US wants the destruction of Hamas more than Israel. See in the July 2006 war? By the end, the Israelis were tired, but the Americans pressed them to continue the war. This is in the memoirs of all the American officials.

- So for every drop of blood in Gaza -- Biden, Blinken and Austin are primarily responsible. Netanyahu and Galant and whatever, these are tools. Even if there are some minor disagreements on public position, Israel is a tool of America, it is the creation of America

- The goal now, that has been worked on for years, has been the expulsion of Gazans, WBers, and even 1948 Arabs, and to make Israel a purely Jewish state for the Jews. So, WBer to Jordan, Gazans to Egypt -- and the 1948 Arabs would have been sent to Lebanon. So anyone who is talking about demographic change in Lebanon would be aware of this.

This is why Jordan and Egypt are up in arms. But in Lebanon, who will be up in arms? Those who care about Lebanon

- This created reverberations and Arab countries stood up; otherwise, the expulsion of the Palestinians is an American, European, and Western goal.

- Look at all this talk of a Palestinian state -- even when its borders are not defined and it is demilitarized, they Israelis rejected it. Because they can't stand a Palestinian state on any territory. They are the ones who want a pure Jewish state from the river to the sea, and this will have impact on Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon
👍72🫡14👎10🔥4
- That means all of the surrounding countries are facing a major problem that requires a strong response, because we are no longer talking about the return of Palestinian refugees, but what to do with new Palestinian refugees

- As for the option of resistance, we must reemphasize our adherence to it. We support a strong LAF, but who prevents a strong LAF, from at least being able to establish deterrence with Israel? Who, Russia, China, Iran? It's the United States, everyone knows this. They keep the LAF weak.

- We don't ask countries to dissolve their armies, we tell them, where possible, to have popular resistance. Look at Iraq -- the US left and came back through the back door of the excuse of ISIS which America created. But the resistance there established a deterrence equation, as the resistance in Gaza and Lebanon. It shattered the image of the Israeli army, and what happened in Gaza confirmed this.

- In 1967, the Israeli army fought against several Arab armies alone, and defeated several Arab armies in six days, and occupied vast Arab lands. Now, more than four months, whole divisions and elite brigades, are fighting in an area of 350km in a tight area. Who is fighting there? An Arab army? No, a humble resistance, which is distinguished by its belief, bravery, God's promise and assistance.
👍90🫡28👎9🔥4
- Whatever we write will be insufficient to describe the bravery of the legendary resistance in Gaza. Even the Israelis admit, they are still looking for an image of victory. Because no matter what they kill from among civilians, that shows their cowardice, but doesn't give them an image of victory. So this is the result of the option of Resistance. So we must all adhere to the option of resistance in Lebanon and elsewhere, because these are the results of popular resistance.

- We must stress our goal which we have set. Our collective goal in the Resistance Axis remains that the enemy must be defeated, that they cannot accomplish any of the goals which they set. Failure to accomplish the goals, this is defeat. And to inflict upon the enemy losses, including strategic defeats which have already been defeated. Gaza must emerge victorious, the resistance must emerge victorious, and Hamas must emerge victorious.

- Finally, on our weapons and the Lebanese political scene -- our weapon is not to forcefully change the political system. Our impact on the political system is through political means. Our arsenal is to protect Lebanon and the Lebanese, whether used on Lebanese territory, to fight Israel, or to fight the takfiris in Syria
👍67🫡24👎8🤬1
- Finally, there is no demarcation of land territory. These are already demarcated. If any negotiations occur with Israel, it will only be on the basis of them getting out of occupied Lebanese land. There is no need to delineate the border anew, unlike the maritime border which needed to be drawn.

Speech ends to talk about how they represent life and giving life, and give an example of a martyr who gave his heart, liver, and other organs for others to live and be sickness free.

📝 Can anyone offer to design some generic photo I can use when reporting about airstrikes in Lebanon but can't find photos for attacks?

Anything generic that can be used.

I usually like to have media attached to news and not just text.
