was called the pearl of the Middle

East I

do so what happened to Lebanon

[Music]

[Music]

this is a Lebanon often romanticized in

the late' 60s and' 70s a destination for

Seaside tourism and Cosmopolitan life

but this image is only part of the story

beneath the surface there was a far more

complex and painful reality milk and

honey for the honey is not so sweet

Lebanon was a country trying to hold

itself together often called a mosaic a

place where Christians sunnis Shiites

and Drews all

coexisted but this Mosaic was anything

but

[Music]

harmonious the Christians especially the

maronites held most of the

power their dominance a legacy of the

French mandate had created deep divides

while lebanon's CH Community was left on

the

fringes the shates concentrated in the

rural South and the Bika Valley lived in

poverty they were lebanon's forgotten

population struggling with poor

infrastructure minimal health care and a

lack of Education in a country built on

power sharing they were almost

invisible the Shiites weren't alone in

the South sharing this space were

Palestinian refugees who had arrived

decades earlier

flashing Long Island the general

assembly of the United Nations has made

its decision on when Israel was

established by the United Nations in

1948 it wasn't just about drawing new

borders it displaced hundreds of

thousands of Palestinians forcing them

to

flee uprooted from their homes many

sought refuge in neighboring Arab

countries with a significant number

heading north into Lebanon

this wasn't a temporary situation

Palestinian refugees settled into camps

the nacba wasn't over for the

Palestinians and The Echoes of that

disaster would soon Ripple through

Lebanon and the entire

[Music]

region in

1967 the Arab world faced a crushing

defeat against Israel Israel is

embroiled in in a war with the Arab

nations in just 6 days Israel's military

swept across the region leaving a trail

of stunned and defeated Arab Army in its

wake golen Heights East Jerusalem and

the Sinai Peninsula now fell under

Israeli

control this Victory not only solidified

Israel's dominance but also marked the

end of NASA's pan Arab nationalist

movement

for years to come Egypt and Jordan would

remain neutralized sidelined from any

confrontation with

Israel Lebanon however took a different

path remaining neutral during the Arab

Israeli War of

1967 General albani the libanese Army

Chief refused to open a new front along

lebanon's borders with Israel

the Lebanese had long embraced what they

called lebanon's strength in weakness

they thought that by positioning itself

as the Switzerland of the Middle East

Lebanon could avoid conflict but this

belief would soon prove tragically

[Music]

misguided under pressure from Regional

Powers Lebanon was forced to sign the

Cairo agreement with the Palestinian

Liberation Organization led by yasa

Arafat this wasn't a decision Lebanon

made freely the agreement was signed

between the PLO and general bani

allowing them to establish bases along

lebanon's borders particularly within

the Refuge camps in southern

Lebanon one year later in

1970 after being expelled from Jordan

during Black September the PLO fully

relocated its operations to Southern

Lebanon home to a Shia majority

[Music]

tensions escalated between the PLO and

Israel turning Southern Lebanon into a

Battle

Ground Israeli forces frequently launch

Air Raids against PLO positions with

skirmishes along the border escalating

into full-blown battles insisting

escalate more and more we haven't Choice

it is our

home as the violence intensified the

already weakened Lebanese state was

powerless to

intervene the situation worsened in

1975 when Lebanon plunged into Civil War

a conflict that would last 16

[Music]

years at least 50 sometimes 100

[Music]

the Lebanese Civil War saw Israel Ally

with the Christian falangists Paving the

way for direct Israeli intervention the

Israelis have allies the falangists an

extreme right-wing militia which

controls the Christian Villages dotted

along lebanon's Southern

Edge Lebanon was no longer a bystander

it was becoming the front line in the

Arab Israeli conflict

in

1978 Israel launched operation Lani its

first major invasion of Lebanon invasion

of Lebanon began in the early hours of

the 15th their goal was to drive the PLO

north of the Lani River and create a

buffer zone to protect its northern

towns Israel had captured almost all of

South Lebanon except the city of T up to

the edge of the Lani River an area of

500 square miles or more the operation

was Swift and it was brutal thousands of

Lebanese civilians mostly shates were

[Music]

displaced for the Shia population this

invasion was a wakeup call their homes

were destroyed their families scattered

and their government nowhere to be seen

nobody is coming to help us we have no

bread no food not even water no

electricity nothing nothing we are alone

we have nothing we need everything you

see we we are in south of Lebanon alone

and we have no [ __ ] government

Southern Lebanon was left to fend for

itself in this vacuum of power something

began to stir the seeds of resistance

were being planted another Invasion come

on it's not an invasion we walked in and

we're walking out but uh if you want to

call it an invasion you're welcome but

on June

1982 Israel launched its second invasion

of Lebanon aiming to end the pl's

presence in the country entirely

this time however the invasion extended

beyond the southern regions pushing deep

into lebanon's

heart Beirut once crafted by European

powers to be the Paris of the Middle

East had now become a war

zone the P's stronghold was supposed to

be the primary target but Israel's

aggressive military tactics spared no

one within days Israeli forces had

reached beirut's outskirts and by August

after weeks of Siege and intense

International pressure the PLO

negotiated an evacuation and left the

[Music]

capital but this was only the beginning

with the PLO gone Israeli troops pushed

further into West bayout tightening

their hold on the

city in mid-september the situation took

a horrific turn as the world watched

Lebanese Christian militias supported by

Israeli forces entered the Palestinian

refugee camps of Sabra and

chatila the militias unleash a massacre

thousands of Palestinian civilians women

children and the elderly were brutally

slaughtered in the morning these people

came and who are these

people from the Kay yes their leader is

Bash while the Christian militias

carried out the attacks many believed

Israel's hands were behind this

atrocity in the wake of Israel's

Invasion Southern Lebanon was devastated

the Shiite communities already enduring

years of poverty and

marginalization now face the harsh

reality of

[Music]

occupation with the PLO driven out

Israeli forces expanded their occupation

across Lebanon establishing a firm

stronghold in the

[Music]

South meanwhile Christian falangists

with a blood of Massacre on their hands

and backed by Western allies seized

control of the government can rely on

the help of the United States it is my

soon after US Marines and French troops

arrived on Lebanese soil as so-called

peacekeepers the presence of 800 Marines

in Beirut will stabilize the situation

this felt like a layered occupation

Israel in the South a complicit

government in power and foreign troops

on their

[Music]

soil they faced a choice remain passive

and risk more suffering or rise to

defend their

land within days of Israel's Invasion

approximately 1500 Iranian voluntary

forces made their way into Lebanon

through Syria not to take control but to

offer their support as

[Music]

allies inspired by their recent

Revolution and ayat K's call to resist a

ression these Fighters offered tactical

training they shared hard run strategies

to strengthen lebanon's shik resistance

which had gained momentum under leaders

like Musa Sada who had founded the Amel

movement in the mid

70s this support was essential but

limited Iran was already facing a brutal

war with Iraq after Saddam Hussein's

Invasion and fighting on two fronts was

unsustained

stainable Ayatollah Ki aware of these

pressures advised against a prolonged

Iranian

[Music]

presence he insisted that the Lebanese

should lead their own

resistance the Iranian volunteers

respected this eventually stepping back

in a Handover leaving behind a capable

local

Force this Foundation of support laid

the groundwork for what would soon

become the Islamic resistance in Lebanon

which would be later known as Hezbollah

the party of

God as hezbollah's influence grew so did

its tactics through unconventional

warfare they made the occupation cost ly

targeting both Israeli and US positions

American peacekeeping forces devastated

4 months later the Americans withdrew

unwilling to sustain such losses in a

country where every hand was against

them in

1989 the TA agreement brought an

official end to lebanon's long and

brutal Civil War

it called for the disarmament of all

militias to restore sovereignty and

order with one

exception Hezbollah was allowed to

remain armed to fight the Israeli

occupation and Liberate the South as

outlined in the

agreement the 1990s became hb's

Foundation years a period of rebuilding

organizing and

strengthening Israel however believed it

could crush this emerging Force

confident that t targeting its

leadership would bring Hezbollah to its

[Music]

knees in February

1992 hezbollah's Secretary General SED

abas musavi was traveling with his

family when his Convoy came under a

sudden lethal

attack an Israeli helicopter gunship

ambushed them and in a barage of rockets

he was killed along with his wife wife

and young son was accidental we wanted

to kill the terrorists themselves and

their leaders not their families but

that happens in any kind of warfare it

was a move meant to break hezbollah's

morale by taking down one of its most

respected leaders and their capacity to

attack us uh have changed dramatically

we will be able to defend ourselves

better they will be able to hit us uh

not as effectively because the

organizing brain uh has been uh removed

but Israel's strategy backfired the

assassination didn't weaken h Ola

instead it paved the way for its new

leader Israel's worst nightmares for

decades to

come s Hassan nalah a young charismatic

leader Rose to take mavi's

place under his leadership Hezbollah

became more disciplined more strategic

setting the stage for a new era of

resistance and its most defining

victories

[Music]

from now on in Lebanon May the 25th will

be a holiday the national day of

resistance and Liberation to celebrate

the departure of the Israelis from the

South May 2000 after after years of

persistent resistance Hezbollah achieved

what no Arab Force had done

[Music]

before they forced Israel to withdraw

completely from Southern

Lebanon through years of organized and

determined resistance they made the

occupation unbearable for Israel

ultimately driving them off occupied

Lebanese land fattima gate until now the

Israel Army's main gate celebrate the

departure of the Israelis from the south

HB Fighters walked back into their towns

as Heroes and for a moment sectarian

Lines Blurred as Lebanese citizens from

all backgrounds joined in the victory SW

movement mingling with ordinary people

who have after 22 years been able to

return to their hometowns and Villages

it was a rare unifying chapter for the

country but as hb's fluence grew so did

the questions about its role in

lebanon's

future February 14th 200an prime

minister rafii was killed in a massive

blast Valentine's Day took a tragic turn

for Lebanon a massive explosion tore

through Beirut shattering buildings and

lives

Rafi Keri lebanon's former prime

minister was assassinated along with 21

others his assassination rocks the

country igniting a wave of grief and

outrage that quickly turned into

action fingers pointed at Syria and its

young leader Bashar al-assad as Hariri

had been a Critic of the Syrian

government and its Pro prolonged

presence in

Lebanon in a wave of protests that would

become known as the seedar revolution

thousands pour into martyr's square

wrapped in lebanon's colors calling for

an end to Syrian control over

Lebanon under intense pressure Syria

pulls its troops out ending a nearly

three decade presence in the

country as Syria departs voices calling

for Lebanese sovereignty quickly shift

Ed towards

Hezbollah the groundwork for this moment

had been laid the year before resolution

1559 act by the United States called for

the disarmament of militias and the

sovereignty of the Lebanese

State while the resolution didn't

explicitly name Hezbollah it was clear

who the target

was text of uh the transition that is

going on here that uh the Lebanese

leadership fully understands its

responsibilities to the full

implementation of 1559 and that includes

the disbandment of of militi the Bush

Administration emboldened by its

invasion of Iraq promoted this

resolution as part of its broader vision

for a new Middle East States like these

and their terrorist allies constitute an

Access of Evil for Hezbollah and many

Lebanese disarmament was out of the

question the group saw its weapons as

essential for defending Lebanon

especially with Israel just over the

border the scars of Israel's invasions

were still fresh and the Shabah arms a

disputed strip of land seized in

1967 remains under Israeli

control a reminder of hezbollah's

Unfinished Business

but their goals weren't just territorial

for years hbot had called for the

release of Lebanese prisoners held in

Israeli

jails meanwhile Israel wasn't Idol along

the border it carried out Military

drills simulating strikes on Lebanese

border

towns after its withdrawal from Southern

Lebanon in 2000 Israel was left with an

uncomfortable reality HB wasn't just a

resistance movement anymore it had grown

into a formidable military

force the stage was set for what many

believed was

inevitable the only question left was

when the spark would ignite

July 12th

2006 eight Israeli soldiers were killed

and two were captured

Israeli Prime Minister ihud olat

rejected holl's offer vowing that Israel

would not negotiate with terrorists

[Music]

the capture of the soldiers became the

justification for a full-scale military

response but the speed and spale of

Israel's reaction suggested that they

had been waiting for this

moment they both had different reasons

as they department at White House for

wanting Israel to do it encouraging them

to do it supporting them our Air Force

worked very closely with the Israeli Air

Force for months before this not

necessarily with a deadline knowing when

it would happen it was always going to

be whenever there was an incident they

would take advantage of an incident air

strikes targeted Barrett's airport to

enforce a blockade on Lebanon and struck

key infrastructure in the

South Bridges crumbled highways turned

to dust the second Lebanon war had

become

done Hezbollah responded with rockets

targeting Northern Israeli cities

including

Hyer for the first time the group

demonstrated its ability to strike deep

into Israel

territory the attack shocked Israel a

reminder that this conflict was unlike

any

[Music]

before Southern Lebanon came under

Relentless air strikes buildings were

flattened and the deia neighborhood in

Beirut better known as holla stronghold

was reduced to

[Music]

Rubble Whispers of nella's death spread

rapidly fueling the chaos for tense

desperate days it seemed like Hezbollah

might not make it

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

m

Hezbollah delivered a stunning blow a

missile struck an Israeli warship while

Australis taped message was broadcast on

hezbollah's television

simultaneously the next day Hezbollah

Rockets struck deeper into Hyer

civilians fled to Bong shelters as

hezbollah's deia fora Doctrine took

shape for every strike on hezbollah's

stronghold in Beirut they would

retaliate against hia and

Beyond with the air campaign failing to

stop hezbollah's rocket attacks Israel

launched a ground offensive into

Southern Lebanon overconfident from its

history of Swift invasions and we going

to get to go into

leanon but the ruget terrain of Southern

Lebanon and hezbollah's Guerilla tactics

turned the operation into a

nightmare Israel's assaults became more

violent civilian areas including

hospitals and residential zones became

Targets in an attempt to pressure

Hezbollah internally what we're seeing

here in a sense is the the growing the

birth pangs of a new Middle East and uh

whatever we do we have to be certain

that we're pushing forward to the new

Middle East not going back to the the

old one calls for holl's disarmament

Amplified by resolution 1559 grew louder

once again among Western leaders for

almost 2 years has been fortifying and

arming militia down in the south of

Lebanon in defiance of the UN resolution

1559 the best way to stop the violence

is for Hezbollah to lay down its arms

and to stop attacking as un broker

ceasefire talks were underway Israel

launched a final ground offense

hoping to gain an advantage before the

ceasefire took

[Music]

effect the campaign's Final Chapter

ended disastrously for Israel deepening

the sense of loss and frustration among

its military and

citizens finally on August 12th after 30

3 days of brutal fighting the UN broker

resolution

1701 called for a ceasefire bringing the

conflict to an

end even though both sides claimed

Victory the aftermath of the war

unfolded in two contrasting narratives

[Music]

first it was Tunisia then Egypt now the

autocratic regime in Libya may be the

next to fall anti-government protests

are threatening the future of dictator

momar Gaddafi but his 42 the year is

2011 the Arab Spring sweeps across the

Middle East like wildfire toppling

governments and sparking protests fueled

by dreams of freedom and

change but in Syria the story takes a

darker bloody a turn president alassad

step down what began a series of

demonstrations against the government

quickly spirals into

chaos within weeks chance in the streets

give way to bus and

bombs senior military officer in the

Syrian city of hammer has defected along

with up to 50 of his soldiers the

defection of Syrian military fractures

the nation into a patchwork of rival

factions Rebel groups extremist militias

and lobal Powers each pursuing their own

agenda now after careful deliberation I

have decided that the United States

should take military action against

Syrian regime targets ass Syria

descended deeper into turmoil it

instability began bleeding into Lebanon

religious War may be spreading Beyond

the incident is a sign Syria civil war

the first targeted attack on the

Lebanese Shiite militia since the start

of the Syrian Conflict for hollah this

wasn't just a distant War it was a

threat that was knocking on their

door this is Iraq this is sham but now

this is all do one country one do inshah

for decades the roads from Damascus had

carried vital supplies from Iran

architect of Iran's campaign against

Isis for both Hezbollah and Iran

intervention was not a choice it was a

necessity hezbollah's intervention in

Syria alongside other forces in the axis

of resistance successfully pushed back

the extremist threat and secured its

vital LIF

but the cost was

steep their reputation in the Arab world

declined as their involvement in a

conflict defined by sectarian divisions

cast a shadow over their Narrative of

resistance the Syrian Civil War forced

hollah to evolve into a larger more

expansive non-state military force far

beyond its original scope and reshaping

its Legacy in the

process meanwhile Israel watches from

the sidelines quietly benefiting as its

Southern Israel experienced a Mourning

with

Adventure it was a part of a planed

military operation Operation ala

targeting Gaza Strip with Relentless air

strikes hospitals schools and refugee

camps are caught in the crossfire

sparking widespread International

condemnation do you condemn do you

condemn H yes or

no Israeli commanders have been deployed

all over Gaza insisted that a ground

invasion of

Gaza and now as Gaza was burning the big

question was whether Hezbollah would

open a second front driving Israel into

a multi-front warat to the north a

second Israeli front there Hezbollah

Which is far stronger than Hamas and

could take this war into even more

dangerous

territory just a day after the conflict

began hezb fired rockets at Israel not a

full-scale attack but a calculated

signal of their presence further north

now Hezbollah has launched Rockets from

Southern Lebanon into nor this wasn't a

rush to war it was a patient and

deliberate

strategy as Israel directed its military

might ground troops Air Force and

political efforts towards Gaza Hezbollah

ramped up its

activity by mid November Hezbollah had

targeted over 120 Israeli positions with

rockets and missiles but this was just

the beginning hezbollah's true objective

was to stretch Israel's military

capacity

nearly 40% of Israel's military was now

stationed along its northern border

leaving fewer troops available for the

brutal fight in

Gaza over time hesb strikes became

increasingly precise targeting Israeli

convoys surveillance systems and radar

installations the conflict quickly

turned into a tit fatat exchange each

side responding with calculated Force

[Music]

with the situation growing more tense it

became clear that Israel could not

handle a two-front war on its own Israel

turned to the us for support they

in early December the rhetoric from

Israeli officials

intensified Israeli defense minister

declared that Hezbollah must be pushed

back behind the Lani River aiming to

recreate a buffer zone a territory

Israel had occupied for 22 years before

its withdrawal in

2000 however the plan didn't go as

expected on the ground has B turned the

table the situation in Northern Israel

turned into a war of attrition with

missile strikes rocket fire and ambushes

becoming the daily reality visit

Northern Israel today and you find ghost

towns such as Matula Arab ala and kirat

Shimona empty except for soldiers

deployed against Hezbollah rather than

pushing Hezbollah northward Israel found

itself creating an unintended buffer

zone not in Lebanon but within its own

territory

instead nearly 6 months after the

October 7th events Israel finds itself

in an increasingly difficult

position the war in Gaza originally

aimed at eliminating hos and rescuing

hostages has dragged on with no decisive

victories Israel's International

standing has been damaged dramatically

facing broad International criticism

common in the South Yemen's anarella

multiple fronts Israel reverted to one

of its old oldest and most reliable

methods this tactic was intended to

shift the momentum back in their

favor just a month after Iron's attack a

suspicious helicopter crash resulted in

the deaths of Iron's president and

foreign

days later Israel launched a massive

unexpected ways first time in 8 years

Rebel forces have entered Aleppo Syria's

began on the day that the Seas fire

they knew that the opportunity will

ACS saw an opportunity and this is why

they waited for signing the ceasefire

and they didn't put up the fight during

the war for not them to be accused of

helping Israel cities fell one after

another and within days Damascus found

itself surrounded a chilling echo of

what many thought had been left behind

in the Syrian Civil War The Rebel leader

Abu Muhammad Al jalani described the

victory as a historic moment this is a

historic day for the Middle East

the collapse of the Assad regime the

tyranny in Damascus at the same time

Israel pushed deeper into Syrian

territory severing the vital logistical

Lifeline connecting Iran Lebanon and

Palestine Israel has launched more

overnight strikes on Syria causing an

explosion that was detected by

earthquake sensors more than 800 km away

Hezbollah long defined by its ability to

adapt and resist now found itself

besieged on all

sides back in Lebanon old adversaries

Reser

Christian factions echoing decades old

calls reunited demands for hb's

disarmament they anfi their accusations

claiming that hezbollah's intervention

in Gaza had only deepened lebanon's

instability yet despite the heavy blows

hasb endured Israel's Ambitions to

re-enter Southern Lebanon were met with

Fierce

resistance the days when Israeli forces

could marched toward Beirut in a matter

of days were long gone even at its

weakest and without its leadership

Hezbollah ensured that no Israeli boots

remained on Lebanese

soil in Gaza after 15 months of

Relentless conflict Israel was forced to

accept a ceasefire for all its military

might Israel could not crush the

Palestinian resistance main objective in

the war in Gaza was the annihilation of

Hamas that has not happened the

ceasefire was more than a pause in

fighting it stood as a testament to to

the endurance of a people who refused to

be

erased this ceasefire marked a victory

for Palestinian resistance one that

would have been impossible without

hezbollah's sacrifices

the story of the resistance in Lebanon

is not one of clean victories or

absolute defeats it is a story of

survival a movement that endured

setbacks weathered Wars invasions and

unending turmoil yet refuses to fade

away as the dust settles once more the

resistance stands wounded but unbroken

and the fight is far from over
