The scenes of the defeat of the Zionist enemy from southern Lebanon in 2000 are not absent from the minds of the Palestinians, despite the passage of years and the flow of events.

Resistance Factions in Gaza Congratulate Lebanon on the Anniversary of Liberation

Many agree that what happened in May 25 of that year marks a turning point in the course of the Arab-‘Israeli' conflict as it bore real signs that the usurper entity can be defeated if there is will and faith in the truth.

*Al Zahar: We have a model to follow and a bright and inspiring experience from Hezbollah

Senior Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar confirmed to Al-Ahed news website that "the experience of South Lebanon is a clear Qur'anic experience. There were young people who took up arms to defend their land, themselves, and their faith and succeeded in expelling the occupation. Therefore, we have a model to follow and a bright and inspiring experience by Hezbollah, which was able to defeat a nuclear state. Following suit were the brave forces of the resistance in Gaza in 2008, 2012, and 2014."

He goes on to say that "there is no doubt that each incident has implications, and these implications lead to conclusions. Throughout history, many Arab and Islamic countries have been occupied, and the masses have been divided into two paths in order to achieve liberation. Some of them negotiate and trust the promises of enemies, and there are those who resist and remain opposed to this colonizer."
He adds that "the experience of liberating any part of the Arab land, whether in Lebanon or in the Gaza Strip in 2005, is the best example of the success of the resistance experience in achieving the goals."

"On the other hand, we find that the experience of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, and his journey with the negotiations since Oslo in 1993 and until this moment indicate disappointment, failure and shame," Zahar says to Al-Ahed news website.

*Shehab: The liberation of southern Lebanon has been and remains a real inspiration for continuing our battle with the enemy

For his part, the leader of the Islamic Jihad movement, Daoud Shehab, said: "Without a doubt, the Zionist occupation in southern Lebanon was a path that had to end under the steadfastness of the Lebanese people and the Lebanese resistance in defending its land. That is why the Islamic Resistance did not stop there one moment and was determined to regain every atom of soil in southern Lebanon. Indeed, that long path of struggle, jihad, steadfastness and heroism culminated in victory."

Shehab stressed that this victory was a lever for the Arab and Islamic nation in general and for the resistance in Palestine in particular.

He adds that "Today and after 17 years of this glorious victory which is dear to our hearts, we salute the brotherly Lebanese people and the Islamic resistance. We affirm that the liberation of southern Lebanon was and will continue to be a real inspiration to continue our fight against the usurping enemy until we get rid of it."

He goes on to say that "the people of the Arab and Islamic nation have a great dream, hope and wish, which is regaining Palestine and the liberation of every atom of its blessed soil the same way as the steadfast southern Lebanon has been liberated. Today, this nation has duties to fulfill these hopes. This is what this occasion reaffirms and what we seek to achieve."

The leader in the "Jihad" considered that the most prominent message behind the commemoration of this occasion is to emphasize the continuation of the resistance on the land of Palestine and the continuation of the struggle until regaining our homeland.

* Abu Zarifa: The liberation of the south of Lebanon is a victory that will be kept in the immortal record

For his part, member of the Political Bureau of the "Democratic Front", Talal Abu Zarifa, says that what happened in southern Lebanon was a great achievement.

Abu Zarifa pointed out that this achievement would not have been accomplished without the presence of the resistance, and at heart Hezbollah, which is the spearhead in this clear path.

He adds that "This great victory, which was achieved by the Islamic Resistance, was not only presented to the Lebanese people but to the entire Arab and Islamic nation and to all the free people of the world. It gave a clear message that ‘Israel' with all its potential is defeatable if all elements of the regional power were gathered and united in a resistance front."

He carries on saying, "It is not farfetched for the Palestinian resistance to achieve victory over the Zionist entity. It has done it more than once in Gaza because of this endless support by the brothers and the Mujahideen in Hezbollah and the regional powers represented by Iran as the incubator of this resistance project."

Abu Zarifa stresses that this victory will remain preserved in the immortal record, and will remain a source of hope for the people who are struggling to get rid of the occupation no matter how long.
