Key points from the speech of Hezbullah's Secretary-General, His Eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem, on the anniversary of the martyred leaders: 

- Today, we speak about the anniversary of Hezbollah’s martyred leaders and the latest political developments. 


- Sheikh Ragheb Harb was a popular and beloved figure, gathering people from all villages and standing bravely against the "Israeli" occupation. 


- On February 16, 1984, collaborators came to Jibchit and assassinated the martyr Sheikh Ragheb Harb. 


- The goal of the 1982 invasion was to uproot the Palestinian resistance and eliminate resistance from Lebanon and the region. 


- Sayyed Abbas Moussawi was a role model for the fighters, always present with them and attending their farewell ceremonies as they headed to the frontlines. 


- The language of victory never left Sayyed Abbas Moussawi’s lips, as he always declared: "Kill us, for our people will only grow in awareness more and more." 

- The resistance made significant progress from the assassination of Sheikh Ragheb Harb to the assassination of Sayyed Abbas Moussawi. 

- Hajj Imad Mughniyeh was a security and military strategist, an innovator, and his deep faith strongly influenced his guidance of the fighters. 


- When leaders attain martyrdom, their blood and sacrifices contribute to the advancement of the cause. 


- The martyred leaders followed a single path: the path of true Muhammadan Islam. 


- Their journey was united under the banner of Islamic Resistance. 


- Struggle is necessary to confront and defeat falsehood. 


- Fight against the "Israeli" enemy was always a top priority for the martyred leaders.

- We do not surrender, we do not accept defeat, and we do not allow falsehood to prevail over us. 


- The distinction of the martyred leaders lies in their combination of spiritual faith and military strategy. 


- Trump's stance on the Palestinian cause is extremely dangerous, aiming to eradicate Palestine and its people. 


- His position represents political extermination after Netanyahu and the U.S. failed to achieve it militarily during Al-Aqsa Flood battle.

- Today, it has been confirmed that everything "Israel" does is under American leadership and direction. 


- Trump seeks global dominance. 


- We condemn any forced displacement of Palestinians and reject their relocation to Jordan, Egypt, or Saudi Arabia. 


- Trump is now confronting the entire region. 


- The American project is a threat to all, including Arab and Islamic countries. 


- These nations must reject this plan in solidarity with Palestine and its people. 


- Arab and Islamic countries must actively oppose the displacement of Palestinians. 

- By February 18, "Israel" must withdraw completely from the Lebanese territories it occupied during its aggression. 


- There is no justification for the occupation's continuation, and Lebanon's official stance must be firm and decisive. 


- The destruction caused by "Israel" targeted the Lebanese state, which must take responsibility for reconstruction. 


- The country can only be rebuilt through cooperation among all parties, and we are ready to contribute and support necessary reforms. 


- We will not abandon the people—whether in shelter, repairs, or reconstruction—and, God willing, homes will be restored even better than before. 


- I suggest the government appoint officials through competitive exams to select the most qualified, avoiding sectarian quotas. 

- The Prime Minister decided to block the Iranian flight under the pretext of aviation and civilian safety. 


- This decision aligns with the "Israeli" directive. 


- I call on the Lebanese government to reconsider the ban on Iranian flights and assert its sovereign stance. 


- We oppose attacks on UNIFIL.

 
- The funeral on February 23 will be exceptional, reflecting the extraordinary stature of the two martyrs. 


- You are all invited to express grief and loyalty on this great funeral day, with participation expected from across the world. 


- I urge our supporters to turn out in massive numbers for the funeral, demonstrating that Hezbollah and the resistance have deep roots and cannot be weakened.

🇱🇧 PM Salam contacted Aboul Gheit and the prime ministers of Qatar, Egypt and Jordan and the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Algeria with the aim of "mobilizing support for the Lebanese position calling for the completion of the Israeli withdrawal on the agreed date without any delay."

In 24 hours:

- Israeli attack on Jarjouh (two martyrs and wounded)

- Attack on the people of Houla (one child martyr, wounded and prisoners)

- Demolitions in Kfar Shouba and Labbouneh, Mays al-Jabal, etc

- Airstrikes on the Beqaa valley

Israel sees your silence as a cover for its continued aggression, and it is a message to us that we have no legitimate authority to protect our sovereignty.

📸 A lot of barbed wire has been transported to the area.

The IDF plans to enforce a rule of not allowing anyone reach the border fence, even civilian, threatening to shoot to kill
📸 The Israeli army extended metal wires along the border wall between Kfar Kila and the settlement of Metulla inside Lebanese territory and installed an iron gate outside the wall along the Kfar Kila-Adaisseh road.

This is on the Lebanese side. They don't want anyone to be able to reach the 9m long wall.

الساعة الآن الثانية بعد منتصف الليل، على حدودنا الجنوبية وتحديداً في قرية حولا تستلقي فتاة لا يتجاوز عمرها اربعة عشر عاماً في العراء، مخضبةً بدمها شهيدةً على أيدي العدو الصهيوني، واما دولتنا الحقيرة فلم تصدر حتى بياناً..

It is now two o'clock after midnight, on our southern borders, specifically in the village of Houla, a girl no more than fourteen years old lies in the open fielda, covered in her blood, a martyr at the hands of the Zionist enemy, and our despicable state has not even issued a statement.

Khadija body is still alone, under the dark sky in the erry night after the Jews denied the access to the Red Cross to retrieve her body.

Khadija tonight is alone, one last time after she was alone once her father died.

Khadija...

(These are the members of the Lebanese ceasefire committee)

During the meeting, the latest developments in Lebanon, especially the Israeli withdrawal from the south, were reviewed, and the continued support for the Quintet and the full commitment to stand by the Lebanese state were emphasized.

❗️Report by Israeli media about the IDF withdrawal and the occupation of parts of South Lebanon

The IDF confirms troops will remain deployed to five strategic positions in southern Lebanon beyond tomorrow's deadline to withdraw as part of a ceasefire agreement, and details where they are located.

The United States has authorized the IDF to remain in the five points, though it is not clear yet how long troops will stay there. The military says it will stay there as long as the Israeli political echelon tells it to.

At the five positions, the IDF has constructed military posts that will be manned by troops.

The posts are located at: a hill near Labbouneh, across from the the Israeli border town of Shlomi; the Jabal Blat peak, across from Zar'it; a hill across from Avivim and Malkia; a hill across from Margaliot; and a hill across from Metula.

None of the posts are located within built-up areas of Lebanon. The IDF will be withdrawing from all Lebanese border villages and towns tomorrow.

The IDF has also ramped up its defenses on the Israeli side of the border, with several new army posts, one in front of every Israeli border community; better surveillance capabilities, including more cameras, radars, and censors; and triple the number of troops compared to before the war.

The military expects Hezbollah supporters to carry out protests as residents of the south Lebanon border villages return to their homes. Troops by then will not be located in any of the towns, so there should be no direct friction, according to the IDF.

The IDF, however, will prevent suspects from approaching the Israeli border and the newly established army posts at the five strategic positions.

Over the last few days, the IDF says it carried out "intensive activity" in southern Lebanon, removing any last threats it could find, from caches of Hezbollah weapons to tunnel infrastructure. The troops operated in areas up to 8 kilometers inside Lebanon.

The IDF says that the area close to the Israeli border is essentially entirely cleared of Hezbollah infrastructure and weapons, after troops in the past months scanned nearly every home, under every tree, and in every valley.
