The remarks came during celebrations Sunday evening, marking Resistance and Liberation Day in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon, where Sayyed Nasrallah further reiterated that the May 25 victory has glorious and historical meanings and indications, including particularly the fall of the 'Greater Israel' project.

"The repercussions of the victory still exist in Lebanon, Palestine, the Zionist entity and the region," he added.

"Without May 25 victory, we would not have witnessed victories that followed, as it paved the way for their occurrence."

The Hezbollah leader further emphasized that May 25 victory belongs to the Lebanese, Arabs, and the nation, adding that no one can reduce its magnitude so that it becomes partisan or sectarian.
"It is the nation's victory against the Zionist project."

Sayyed Nasrallah praised and glorified the enormous sacrifices of the Lebanese offered their families, money as well as security and those of all the factions of the resistance as well as the Lebanese army.

The General Secretary of Hezbollah also expressed his appreciation for the role of the Syrian army and the Palestinian factions in attaining the epic victory.

"We have to foster the culture of hope in the future and the trust in God, victory, and in our people," Sayyed Nasrallah said.

"This culture, he added, “enabled us to attain all the victories, including May 2000, withdrawal of Israeli occupation troops from Gaza in 2005, 2006 victory, 2008 Gaza immovability against Israeli aggressions, despite the Israeli military power and superiority."

Commenting on the moral and cultural essence of Hezbollah’s 2000 victory, Sayyed Nasrallah pointed out that the party presented a great Islamic model, different from that displayed by the terrorist groups in Syria.

"Unfortunately, today they are consolidating the idea of linking Islam to murdering, slaughtering, digging tombs, destroying shrines, and issuing death sentences due to political differences. This linkage is a crime against Islam and betrayal."

"Thousands of Hezbollah fighters entered in 2000 the liberated territories where different sects as well as political factions live, and despite the fact that some of the residents there were involved in betrayal in the south and the western Bekaa, all can remember how the souls and the worship places were saved," his eminence underscored, "This is the Islamic resistance sample of tolerance which is derived from the teachings of Islam."
