Humiliating Defeat Crushes “Israel” in Lebanon: Hezbollah Declares Victory
The signs of the Zionist entity’s military retreat in Lebanon are undeniable as a ceasefire agreement takes hold and the displaced Lebanese citizens return to their southern villages. From a strategic standpoint, Hezbollah has secured a monumental victory, despite enduring significant losses. This confrontation has effectively halted the Zionist’s ambitions of reoccupying Lebanon and reshaping the region under the banner of a “New Middle East.” For nearly two months, Zionist forces were unable to advance along the Lebanese-Palestinian border, delivering a severe setback to their expansionist agenda.
While critics claim that Hezbollah’s actions have brought only destruction, with the loss of top leaders such as Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyid Hashem Safi al-Din, supporters see this view as shallow. Observers familiar with the conflict argue that Hezbollah’s latest victory is historic, adding to its series of successes, including the July 2006 war.
A Document of Complete Surrender
The entity’s government’s agreement to a ceasefire is widely viewed as a concession to Hezbollah’s terms. Zionist media outlets have acknowledged that war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu’s initial objectives—particularly the forced return of northern settlers—have failed. Reports indicate a widespread refusal among settlers to return, driven by fears of another October 7-style attack from the north. Within the Israeli entity, there is near-universal agreement that this ceasefire amounts to a “document of surrender” and a clear sign of defeat.
Footage from Lebanon supports this conclusion: displaced Lebanese residents are returning to their villages, standing firm alongside Hezbollah. Meanwhile, no footage has emerged of Zionist settlers returning to northern settlements, underscoring the Israeli occupation’s failure to dismantle Hezbollah, resettle its displaced settlements, or achieve its broader territorial ambitions under the “New Middle East” framework.
Widespread Anger Within the Israeli Entity.
Another indicator of Hezbollah’s victory is the mounting anger and frustration within (municipal rulers) or rulers of the seized lands of northern Palestine have openly criticized the ceasefire. Avihay Shtern, mayor of Kiryat Shmona, described it as a “direct surrender,” asking, “How did we go from complete victory to total defeat?” He further lamented that, despite their initial successes against Hezbollah, the ceasefire now gives the group a lifeline.
Similarly, David Azulai, head of the Metula Settlement Council, expressed concerns, noting, “We remain under threat from anti-tank fire, particularly in Metula, which was hit by over 450 rockets last year.”
The extent of the damage in northern settlements like Kiryat Shmona and Metula is staggering. According to “Yedioth Ahronoth”, approximately 7,000 buildings and 9,000 vehicles have been destroyed, placing immense pressure on Netanyahu to agree to the ceasefire.
Hezbollah’s Tactical Pause Amid Heavy Losses
Despite its victory, Hezbollah faces significant internal challenges. Since the devastating (Pager) incident in September, the group has suffered relentless Zionist attacks, resulting in nearly 20,000 civilian casualties and widespread destruction in southern Beirut and across southern Lebanon. Internally, Hezbollah has faced criticism from those who blame it for Lebanon’s suffering.
However, Hezbollah viewed the ceasefire as a necessary opportunity to regroup, address internal vulnerabilities, and prepare to honor the fallen, including Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah. Two key factors bolster Hezbollah’s confidence: its refusal to bow to U.S. pressure during negotiations and the unwavering support of its base, even in the face of broader Arab and Islamic indifference—except Yemen and Iraq.
As Hezbollah closes this chapter of the conflict with the Zionist enemy, the battle is far from over. The struggle extends beyond the battlefield into economic, cultural, and ideological realms, demanding a comprehensive resistance effort from all fronts.
Hezbollah’s faith-driven resistance ensures its readiness for future confrontations, its combat doctrine is founded on the principle of continuous confrontation and enduring struggle against the Zionist enemy. Unlike other Arab nations that have embraced what Hezbollah deems “defeatist peace agreements,” Hezbollah remains steadfast in its mission of perpetual resistance.
The battle may shift in form, but Hezbollah’s resolve remains unwavering: victory today, readiness for tomorrow.
