The head of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammad Raad, has said that Hezbollah has conducted a deep review of the course adopted since October 8, 2023, objectively identifying any flaws or shortcomings in its performance.
In an interview with the al-Modon news portal, Raad noted that Hezbollah held its ground for four months at the strategic Ali al-Taher hill "despite a tight air and land blockade and exposure to tons of explosives, shells and airstrikes," while accusing Lebanese authorities of "betting on dragging the Resistance into the implementation mechanism of the framework agreement -- an attempt that failed."
“Hezbollah wrote an epic of martyrdom during the most critical and sensitive phase of confronting the aggression. Even the Israeli media acknowledged the resonance of Karbala in the battle of Ali al-Taher. There was an expectation of surrender, yet the gamble taken by the enemy and its collaborators failed,” Raad added.
He pointed out that Israel “exaggerated the strategic importance of the site to inflate the significance of its achievement, yet it failed to present a convincing picture of the event.”
“The lessons of Ali al-Taher are significant for the ongoing pattern of confrontation with the enemy. Undoubtedly, the Israelis will ponder its mysteries at length; however, as we have no interest in unraveling these puzzles for the enemy or its allies, we chose to maintain ambiguity at the time. Much of the greatness of the Resistance fighters at Ali al-Taher -- and the precision with which their performance was monitored -- will be revealed later,” Raad added.
As for the relationship with President Joseph Aoun, Raad stated that he wants him "to govern in accordance with the text of the Constitution and the National Accord Document (Taif Agreement)."
LOL! We all knew it! Even the loss at Ali al-Taher was bound to end up as a imaginary divine victory in Hezbollahs fairytale world. How many billions of dollars from Iran did it take to build those tunnels, only to see them blown up. And is there possible another way those dollars could have been spent if the real objective was to help the shia population in Lebanon?
