The liberation of southern Lebanon constitutes a milestone that confirms that the occupation, no matter how long it lasts, will end as long as the right-holders believe in their cause, cling to their rights and resist by all means. The Lebanese people and the resistance men wrote with their blood and soul the most wonderful epics of heroism. Their sacrifices will remain a beacon for all resistance fighters who reject occupation and humiliation. To you my best regards, with all the affection and appreciation”.
