Hizbullah held a central festival to commemorate the 7th anniversary of the Divine Victory, in celebrating the triumph of the Islamic Resistance in 2006 which defeated the vicious aggression "Israel" launched against Lebanon back then.
Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah appeared via video-link on a giant to deliver his speech on the occasion.
Addressing thousands of Lebanese who arrived at Aita al-Shaab town in South Lebanon, near Palestinian borders, who took part in the celebration, Sayyed nasrallah thanked the people who arrived to Aita al-Shaab, amid such an atmosphere and circumstances, particularly in a town near the border with the usurping [Israeli] entity.
He expressed consolations to families of the martyrs and wished the injured soon recovery.
"We pray for the souls of the martyrs who were killed in the terrorist blast in the Dahiyeh to rest in peace, and wish the injured a soon recovery. We consolidate the families of the martyrs and all those who were harmed physically, emotionally and else. We highly appreciate the respect and patience of the Dahiyeh people, for bearing responsibility, being wise, and self-restrained," His Eminence expressed.
On Thursday, a terrorist explosion rocked Roweis area of the southern Suburb of Beirut, resulting in the martyrdom of 25 citizens, the injury of around 300 others in addition to major damage in buildings and cars.
Thanking all those who supported the Resistance and showed consolidation, Sayyed Nasrallah vehemently condemned the malicious attack and countries that remained silent on such murder and terrorism, stating "We condemn the silence of some countries regarding the explosion and coming days will prove their possible support and involvement in it."
Divine Victory Defeated "Israeli" Great Project
In the first part of his speech, Sayyed Nasrallah tackled the July victory memory. He emphasized the importance of the ceremony location noting "We held the celebration in the town of Aita, which overlooks occupied Palestine and enjoys the same scent, the same atmosphere."
The town of Aita, as expressed Sayyed Nasrallah, "stands as a symbol for all the towns in the south as well as the Dahiyeh. It is a symbol for all the towns that fought [the July 2006 aggression] for 33 days without withdrawing or being defeated. What happened in Aita during the July aggression represents the humane values and morals of the Resistance and its people."
Recalling the August 14 2006 Victory, Sayyed Nasrallah accentuated "The divine victory defeated the great "Israeli" project, and was a school to be taught in military schools. Today, we assure our adherence to the Resistance until the liberation of the rest of our occupied land, and preserving its sovereignty, land and sea. We adhere to the golden formula [Army-Resistance-People] and assure our determination to protect our people and country."
Sayyed Nasrallah reminded "During the war, we told the fighters in Aita they do not have to stay in the town as it is a bordering town [with Occupied Palestine] and no one would blame them for leaving it. But they refused and insisted on fighting until the last bullet and the last drop of blood."
His Eminence went on to say "The Resistance today is stronger than ever, and has more equipment and fighters than ever. I tell "Israel" that the era of military tourism inside the Lebanese territory and its waters has ended and will never return. We will cut the legs and heads of "Israeli" soldiers who will enter our land."
Sayyed Nasrallah proudly declared that the relation between the people and the Resistance is an emotional and moral relation."
Takfiri Group Responsible for Attack, Members Identified
Regarding the Dahiyeh terrorist attack, Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that as long as there is a side that refuses to surrender to the "Israeli" will and remains to resist, also embraces and supports the Resistance, it will remain to pay the price.
He pointed out "Targeting the Dahiyeh and the supporters of the resistance is not something new," adding "The goal of the Roweis explosion was to kill civilians, it did not target a certain Hizbullah cadre, official, center or institution."
The Resistance leader assured the assailant wanted to cause a major loss of lives among the civilians, with a bomb that weighs more than even 100 kilograms. Hizbullah Secretary General guaranteed the state as well as the Resistance will support the civilians who were harmed by the attack.
Moreover, Sayyed Nasrallah stated that during the past months, rockets were launched towards the Hermel, Baalbeck and al-Nabi Sheet regions [in the Bekaa region] and it is known who is behind these attacks. "Also, bombings also took place in Hermel, and rockets were launched towards Dahieh, the Yarze region and the last attack was yesterday's explosion. It is an armed group of Syria's opposition," he said.
Sayyed Nasrallah continued "The bombs targeted us in Hermel and Majdel Anjar, also rockets were launched against Dahiyeh and yesterday there was an explosion. Clearly the people are the target, but what did we do? We didn't have any hasty reaction or accuse anyone."
The Resistance leader underscored "You will not find anyone who loves the people of the Resistance more than Hizbullah."
Takfiri Groups Have No Religion, Beware Sectarian Strife
Sayyed Nasrallah said there are two theories on the party behind the explosion: First one is "Israel" and the second is terrorist and takfiri groups. But there is a third hypothesis which stipulates that another group has interfered to escalate tension with "Israel" and to provoke internal strife."
Launching an accusation based on information collected by the army's intelligence and Hizbullah, Sayyed Nasrallah said "One member of the group responsible for the explosion in Hermel's Majdal Anjar was arrested, and he revealed the names of the other members of the group and those who manage and finance them are very well known."
Furthermore, he believed that those who targeted Dahiyeh with rockets and planted the bomb in Bir al-Abed have become renowned.
"Those are not spies for "Israel", so far this has not been proved yet. What is proven for sure is that they belong to distinct Takfiri groups."
More on the issue, Sayyed Nasrallah uncovered that "The takfiri and terrorist groups work for "Israel", and that those who think the takfiri groups will only target Shiite areas are mistaken."
"Those groups target Sunnis, Shiites and Christians. They send suicide attackers to Sunni mosques and to churches also. If these attacks continue, Lebanon will be on the edge of the abyss," His Eminence warned.
Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that people are required to cooperate with the State apparatuses in order to stop these incidents. He declared that the state needs to work in two stages: Take precautionary measures [which are not enough] and more importantly work to reveal, arrest, and get rid of the groups that are committing these attacks.
According to Sayyed Nasrallah, those behind the attacks are not Sunnis. Those people are takfiris who have no religion and are murderers.
On this note, Sayyed Nasrallah warned that the people, especially who were affected on Thursday by the explosion, are requested to refrain from emotional and uncalculated reactions. "You must prevent dragging Lebanon into a civil war and stop sectarian incitement. The conflict should remain politically-oriented and should not become sectarian."
His Eminence assured that the takfiris have a destructive project for the region, as their sole plan is to kill with no differentiation between sects.
"Killings and explosions will not affect our will-power and we will not fall in the strife trap. We are not a substitute for the state in defense or security, but if the state does not get you, we will."
Sayyed Nasrallah added "If you are punishing Hizbullah for its interference in Syria I will tell you that Takfiri groups are far more evil towards the Syrian people, not only the supporters of the regime but also the opponents."
Hence, on the Syrian level, Sayyed Nasrallah explained "We entered specific regions in Syria and when we fight, we fight with our values. We did not kill prisoners or civilians. Some of our fighters were martyred because we were avoiding killing civilians. On the contrary, the takfri groups kill and execute civilians and commit massacres."
"We only fought against Takfiri groups," Sayyed Nasrallah iterated.
Addressing the media role, Sayyed Nasrallah questioned the low standards adopted by Arab media such as al-Arabiya and al-Jazeera, as these fabricate and report false news.
Additionally, Sayyed Nasrallah declared "You idiots, you should read our 30-year experience with "Israel" well. If we want to respond to the Dahiyeh explosion, we would double the number of fighters in Syria, from 1000 to 2000, and if they were 5000 they would become 10,000. If one day came and required that Hizbullah and I go to Syria we will do so."
Sayyed Nasrallah further said "No one should assume he would win a war if he starts it against us. We determine the battle, and just like we won all wars against "Israel", I tell you all that we will triumph in our battle against terrorist takfirsm. True it is that the battle will be costly, but less costly than we be slaughtered like ewes and await the coming of murderers into our own homes."
