The Hezbollah official confirmed that the "establishment of this kind of monuments, exhibitions, and museums is taking place so that the victories and achievements of the resistance are never lost."

"The Museum of military vehicles bears witness to the Resistance's ability and efficiency and to the enemy's defeat and weakness," he said, addressing the crowd.

The Resistance's senior leader stressed that "the youth of the resistance stood strong in the face of all challenges," adding that "if the armies of the whole world unite against the men of the Resistance, they shall never impede their faith, determination, and will."

"The world is changing," he continued, recalling the revolutions taking place in Africa nowadays, and said that the United States "has never sided with the Arabs, as it always works according to its interests."

During the site's opening ceremony, an officer of the Islamic Resistance explained the objectives of the tourist and resistance exhibition and its holdings.

On August 11, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon (Hezbollah) unveiled the Tharallah dual-platform guided missile system, which was put into operation in 2015. 

Tharallah has several specifications, the most prominent of which is that it is an anti-armor weapon with two launching platforms, and it is designed to launch Kornet missiles. It also enjoys the capability of simultaneously hitting and destroying targets with great accuracy, both in daytime and nighttime firing.
