Source: Al-Manar TV, 17-7-2008
The bodies and remains of some 200 Arab freed fighters handed over by "Israel" to Hizbullah in Operation al-Redwan arrived to the Lebanese capital on Thursday in a triumphal cortege. The cortege started its procession from Naqoura in southern Lebanon, at which a symbolic ceremony was held to honor the fighters followed by similar stops throughout the coastal road.
Hizbullah had earlier received the bodies of twelve martyrs including 8 Islamic Resistance martyrs who fell during confrontations with "Israeli" occupation soldiers in Lebanon in 2006. The other four bodies are for martyr Dalal Moghrabi and three of her comrades who carried out a heroic operation in the late 70's inside occupied territories.
The last direction of the procession is to be Shahed School at the airport road and later on the identity of martyrs would be confirmed.
A platform was held at Naqoura port to greet the martyrs. The procession then proceeded its journey and made its first stop at Al-Mansouri town where victory ceremonies were held to celebrate the return of heroes to the homeland. The second stop was in the Zahrani town before stopping for a third time in the city of Sidon.
Along the road of the procession, residents threw rose petals and rice and some cheered as the makeshift hearses draped in Lebanese and Palestinian flags carrying the bodies of the Lebanese, Palestinian and Arab fighters continued its journey to Beirut.
Hizbullah received two reports about the fate of detainee Yehya Skaf and lost fisherman Mohammad Farran. Farran is a young fisherman from the city of Tyre who went missing after an "Israeli" military boat opened fire at his fishing boat on which blood stains were found later. Yehya Skaf was said to be martyred during an operation with late resistance fighter Dalal Moghrabi.
