Plant a Tree, Scare «Israel»: Zionists Afraid of Lebanon’s «Green Resistance»

Local Editor

"Lebanese Resist ‘Israel' by Planting Tree near Border" is the title of an article that appeared on Wednesday's main page of the "Israeli" entity's Ynet news website.

The Ynet report reveals the extent of anxiousness the "Israeli" public is going through after Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's derisory remark that "‘Israel' is afraid of trees".

Residents of southern Lebanon had taken seriously Sayyed Nasrallah's remark as 2 Lebanese men began planting on the Lebanese border with the "Israeli" occupied Palestinian territories in plain view of the "Israeli" Occupation Forces [IOF] soldiers and held up a sign praising the group's SG.

The symbolic act came following a speech by Nasrallah almost two weeks ago, in which he ridiculed Israel for being "afraid of trees" after it complained to the UN that Hezbollah is using an environmental organization that plants trees near the border as a ruse for collecting intelligence.

"Planting a tree on the border between Lebanon and Palestine in plain view of the enemy. Under your direction, lord of the million trees," wrote the user, identified as Ali Nazer, who uploaded photos of himself and his friend planting trees just steps from the IOF near the village of Adaisseh.

In the photos Nazer uploaded, the pair can be seen seemingly planting a tree with IOF soldiers visible on the other side of the border. In another photo, one of the two men holds up a printed piece of paper with Hebrew writing saying, "We're free, wishing to plant trees on the border" and Arabic writing saying, "The most beautiful tree on the border for your eyes, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah."

In his speech, Sayyed Nasrallah mocked the "Israeli" entity, saying "‘Israel' is turning to the UN over the fact Lebanon is planting trees on the border," adding that "‘Israel' is afraid of the tree on our border, because it thinks this tree is guarding the country and the people. ‘Israel' thinks the tree will protect the people who will fight against it when it attacks."

"I tell the residents of the south in Baalbek, in Hermel are other places: Plant trees. It's part of the resistance, part of the defense of Lebanon," the SG added.
