Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri declared on Friday that "Israel" is intensifying its military operations in an attempt to offset recent losses suffered in Lebanon.

In a statement issued on the eve of Resistance and Liberation Day, Berri reiterated Lebanon's commitment to UN Resolution No. 1701 and blamed "Israel" for violating this resolution.

Resolution 1701 was reached in the wake of the 2006 Israeli war on Lebanon. It calls for the full cessation of hostilities and the deployment of the Lebanese Army to Southern Lebanon. Ever since the aftermath of the 2006 war, "Israel" has incessantly breached the Resolution, violating Lebanese airspace with their warplanes.

Furthermore, the Lebanese Parliament Speaker emphasized Lebanon's right to defend its territory and expressed openness to international efforts aimed at curbing Israeli aggression. He also called for national unity to safeguard the achievements made on May 25, 2000, and urged the Lebanese government to accelerate efforts to facilitate the safe return of Syrian refugees.

Berri also called on the international community to address the issue of Syrian displacement with a humanitarian approach.

The events of May 25, 2000, marked a significant milestone in the broader Arab Resistance against Israeli occupation and colonization of Arab territories.

Following the forced withdrawal of the occupation forces from Lebanese lands, this day became known as Liberation and Resistance Day in Lebanon, celebrated annually across the country. It holds profound significance in the narrative of the Arab and Lebanese struggle, especially for the people of Southern Lebanon.

The memories of the occupation, characterized by death and devastation, remain vivid to this day. They are ingrained in the collective memory of the Lebanese people, serving as a reminder that the price of Resistance will always be preferable to that of submission.
