BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

Two years on and the shockwave of freedom from Gilboa prison still lingers, with the shattered image of Israeli security capabilities not being restored.

The morning of September 6, 2021, was not ordinary. The world woke up to the image of a member of the Israeli occupation forces sitting cross-legged and leaning in front of a wide hole in the ground, wondering whether the matter could be real or just a dream!

"A tunnel to break free from a very tight prison." The six heroes did it, and the aforementioned image conveyed a reality this time and not a Hollywood script or attractive fantasies in electronic games and artificial intelligence software. 

Although social networking pages at the time received the image that attracted scores of visitors, the deep shock persisted in reality and went beyond the borders of the image that came out of nowhere. 

Two years on and the shockwave of snatching freedom from Gilboa Prison is still lingering: The shattered image of the Israeli security capabilities, which were considered ever awake, has never been restored. The political problems within the occupation entity, which were sparked by the greatest shock of September 6, never subsided.

Here's how the journey to liberation began for the 6 heroes who snatched their freedom from within one of "Israel's" most fortified prisons. #Palestine #الأبطال pic.twitter.com/pbiNvyNy31

Frustration did not creep into the souls of the prisoners when their heroic comrades returned to prison. In fact, the rounds of confrontation that the prisoners were undergoing were getting deeper and ever-vibrant. The surprise factor has multiplied and spread since the "wonder tunnel moment," and resistance operations have surged in the West Bank, using unique techniques, including explosive devices that carry new secrets unveiled by blowing up occupation vehicles, which have now become more reluctant to storm Palestinian cities than ever before.

On the second anniversary of Operation Freedom Tunnel, Al Mayadeen TV and Al Mayadeen Net will re-broadcast the documentary series "The Heroes", which accurately documented the event and conveyed the narration of the six heroes, who honored Al Mayadeen by giving the network the privilege of narrating their story.

Al Mayadeen will devote Wednesday, September 6, to commemorate the anniversary through several materials on its websites and platforms that touch on the event and its persistent aftermath.
