"The Islamic Resistance sustains the resistance path, which has been set by the sacred Imam Rouhullah al-Moussawi al-Khomeini. As well, the Resistance reiterates its choice of struggling with the enemy and the Lahd militiamen until it perfectly liberates all occupied Lebanese lands.
Marking "the Ten Days of Dawn", the memory of the blessed Islamic Revolution's triumph in Iran, the gallant Islamic Resistance carried out a series of attacks against the enemy and Lahd agents on Friday, February 4, 1994.

The Islamic-Resistance group of martyr Muhammad Hazimeh and martyr Zuheir Hazimeh ambushed a Lahd patrol en route to al-Bayyada at 7:35. The fighters bombed a military Willis vehicle with an explosive, demolishing it and causing casualties to the four militants on it. Meanwhile, martyr Abdullah Qassem's group carried out a striking attack against al-Hamra Crossing Point and al-Bayyada Site and al-Herdoun Site.

As well, the Islamic-Resistance group of martyr Muhammad Kamal Shehab attacked a motorcade on Beit Yahoun-Braachit Route at 11:30. The motorcade, on which several security officials were, belonged to the Zionist intelligence and Lahd agents, and it consisted of two half-tracks and a car. Striking it with machine guns and artillery, the fighters caused several casualties to the motorcade.

On the same day, an Islamic-Resistance group bombed with an explosive a Lahd patrol. A statement issued by the Resistance has explained the operation details: "Marking the triumph of the blessed Islamic Revolution of Iran, the Islamic Resistance continues its Operation Series "Ten Days of Dawn". Hereupon, the Islamic-Resistance group of martyr Hussein Haidar (Military name: Abu Jaafar) bombed with an explosive a Lahd motorcade on Friday, February 4, 1994, at 3:25 p.m. The motorcade, which consisted of two common cars and a Willis jeep, was directly hit; the fighters confirmed five soldiers had been wounded."

Resistance Strikes Enemy, Agents in ar-Rihan, February 7, 1994

The Islamic Resistance struck the enemy and agents in ar-Rihan, making the "Israeli" staff acknowledge that the fighters seized the military initiative; also making the staff acknowledge the death of four militants and the injury of others. The "Israeli" Chief of Staff Ehud Barak threatened to declare another war like that of "the Seven-Day War"**, saying, "The "Israeli" military is facing a real war. It is impossible for us to avoid suffering casualties."

Barak also pointed out that the Islamic Resistance had set the ambuscade carefully and that two groups of fighters had machine-gunned anti-armor rocket shells, attacking the "Israeli" armored vehicles and "the Paratroopers Brigade"***.
The Islamic Resistance has issued this statement concerning the heroic operation: "The Resistance is performing an operation series to mark the blessed Hijri month of Shaaban, also to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of the Islamic-Resistance Martyrs' Master - the Grand Scholar, Sayyed Abbas al-Moussawi and the Islamic-Resistance Martyrs' Sheikh Ragheb Harb (May God bestow His everlasting peace on them).

Hereupon, several Islamic-Resistance groups of the Brigade of Martyr, Haj Samir Mattoot (Military name: Jawad), ambushed a Zionist motorcade in ar-Rihan in the occupied borderline on Monday, February 7, 1994, at 11:25 a.m. Martyr Adnan Farhat's artillerists machine-gunned the motorcade, which consisted of a Centurion mine-sweeper, a Merkava tank, several troop-carriers, and an infantry.
The barrage demolished several vehicles, among which was the mine-sweeper, in addition to the Merkava tank that had eight crewmen on. Besides, the attack killed or injured each of the seven infantrymen heading the targeted motorcade... Clashes actually lasted until 1:00 p.m.

In the meantime, martyr Ibrahim al-Haj's artillery was attacking Sojod Site. The artillerists perfectly held the site under fire, foiling its garrison's attempt to back the motorcade. Besides, the artillerists caused several casualties to the garrison and demolished several mounds, fortifications, and vehicles at the site.
Still, martyr Nasser al-Missmar's group was attacking Bir Kallab Site with different firearms. The fighters perfectly held the site under fire, and they destroyed some fortifications and mounds, damaged several vehicles, and caused casualties to the site members.

The fighters have also reported that while attacking the sites of Sojod and Bir Kallab, they demolished six medium machine guns. The Resistance's fierce attacks made enemy helicopters aerially comb the operation zone while warplanes intensively hovered at a low height.
This has been only one of the Resistance's unique accomplishments to free the land from the "Israeli" desecration. To the Muslims' Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenai and to the steadfast people, the Resistance announces it renews its adherence to defending the Ummah's rights. Again, the Resistance pledges to sustain the path of the righteous martyrs - the founders of the Ummah's brilliant future."

An official source of the Islamic-Resistance has stated more information concerning the unique operation: "During the clashes, the enemy was completely unable to back its troops. Reinforcements could only arrive 75 minutes after the fighters had withdrawn from the operation zone. Arriving at 12:45 p.m., some helicopters evacuated the enemy casualties, which had earlier been announced to be fifteen. The helicopters also hauled some demolished vehicles inside the occupied borderline, whereas ground haulers hauled the others.

An explosive bombing targeted an enemy patrol on the way to the same site, and another explosive targeted a Lahd-Militia patrol en route to Sojod." The Resistance's source has also reported that the Resistance shelled the site on Shreifeh Hill lying in the outskirts of al-Khiyam Town, where "Israeli" troops had thronged. Two shells were launched against the encampment, and an "Israeli" helicopter landed there about 30 minutes later.

Some other sources have reported that an M-113 half-track on al-Khardali Route was shot, and the occupation forces immediately hauled it to Marjeeyoun. Eye witnesses have confirmed that the Lahd-Militia site was bombarded with missiles.
Other security sources have mentioned that two Lahd militiamen, Rassem al-Qadiri and Walid Qassab, were injured during an Islamic-Resistance operation in "the Middle Sector" and died afterwards; whereas a Zionist militant spokesman has confirmed the death of the four "Israeli" militants, among whom was a lieutenant. The spokesman said as well that two of the five injured militants suffered critical injuries.

On the other hand, the Islamic Resistance has announced the martyrdom of fighter Mustapha Naeem Haidar (Yasser), who was martyred during the unique Operation ar-Rihan.
The martyr was born in Arab Salim (Literally: The Apple Region) in 1973, and he participated in many unique operations, the most significant of which were the Operation as-Suweidaa, Operation Bir Kallab, Operation Sojod, and Operation Grand Badr Battle****.

The martyr was married and was known for his courage, great morals, piousness, and martyrdom adoration. He was martyred on Monday, February 7, 1994 during the heroic Operation ar-Rihan.

Another fighter has joined the martyrs' path. He was martyred as the Zionist assailed Mount Amel. The Islamic Resistance has issued the following statement:
"To God's Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him and his Household), to the Awaited Imam al-Mahdi (May God hasten his noble reappearance), to the Muslim's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khaminai (May God keep him), and to the resistant, steadfast Ummah, the Resistance proudly announces the martyrdom of brother and fighter Hassan Salman Kareem, who joined the path of the veracious martyrs at this blessed time of the month of Ramadan, which concurs with the Islamic-Resistance Week - the week of the grand martyrs, Sayyed Abbass al-Moussawi and Sheikh Ragheb Harb (May God bestow His everlasting satisfaction on them).
The martyr joined the Heavenly Firmaments as the Zionists assailed the southern towns on Tuesday, February 15, 1994.
He was born in Jibchit Town, and he underwent Islamic-Resistance-General-Recruitment training sessions.

As the Islamic Resistance announces the martyrdom of this martyr, who is the nephew of martyr, Sheikh Ragheb Harb, it announces that the Resistance is absolutely content with its resistance choice and is indeed devoted to it. The Resistance shall continue this path - no matter how great the sacrifices are."

"Marking the Islamic-Resistance Week and the martyrdom anniversary of the grand, resistant scholars, Sayyed Abbass al-Moussawi and Sheikh Ragheb Harb, who founded the Islamic Resistance to confront the Zionist enemy, the fighters perform, anew, a daring operation.

Thus, the Resistance iterates that no Zionist aggressions or political threats and maneuvers can devastate the Resistance's will or make the fighters renege their sacred choice of freeing the land and expelling the coercive occupants.
Exactly at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, February 16, 1994, the groups of martyr Wa'el Darweesh and martyr Mustapha Haidar, relative to the Brigade of Zemrayyah Martyrs, bombarded Zemrayyah Site and Zemrayyah Crossing Point.

The fighters actually destroyed the patrol consisting of two cars and a half-armored vehicle. The patrollers suffered twelve casualties, too.

The fighters held the crossing point completely under control.
Furthermore, Martyr Hassan Medlej's Squadron, relative to the Islamic-Resistance Fire Backup Unit, razed the Zionist militant governor's headquarters in Zaghleh, as well as Ain Qania Site and the cannonade emplacements of Abu Qamha Site. The sites suffered damage and had to cease their fire."
