  • Hezbollah museum sends message of enemies' weakness, Israeli media say

Israeli media on Sunday talked about the museum inaugurated by Hezbollah in Baalbek, stating that displaying the spoils of war is a part of consciousness engineering, showcasing the enemy's weakness and the potential to triumph over it once again.

Hezbollah "opened a tourist museum showcasing spoils captured from the Israeli 'army' during the First and Second Lebanon wars, in addition to other spoils," Israeli Channel 13 reported.

The outlet also said: "They climb on tanks and armored vehicles, and Hezbollah presented anti-aircraft defense systems in front of tourists and visitors."

Channel 13 pointed out that on the other side, they are "diagnosing weaknesses within Israel, military and political weaknesses, divisions, and cracks."

"This doesn't seem like a museum; rather, it's part of the psychological warfare that we hear about every day concerning preparations, public opinion shaping, and provocations."

"This is a part of the psychological warfare strategy of Hezbollah, stating that the Israeli enemy is weak, and it's possible to boast about victory over it, and divine victory can happen again," the outlet added.

Channel 13 concluded by saying: "This issue shows that Hezbollah's Secretary-General is ready to take greater risks against Israel, to dare even more, and even to risk a confrontation on the northern borders."

Hezbollah inaugurated the Baalbek Museum (A Tale of Sun and Land) under the auspices of the head of Hezbollah's political council, Sayyed Ibrahim Amin Al-Sayyed, and in the presence of religious, political, social and municipal figures, surrounded by a large crowd of Resistance supporters.

Spanning over an area of 10,452 square meters - stimulating that of Lebanon (10,452 square km) - the exhibition showcased around 50 pieces of military hardware seized by the Resistance during its fights to protect the country in the past decades. 

The Museum includes vehicles captured by Hezbollah since the time of the Israeli occupation of Lebanon in the 1980s, passing through the first liberation of South Lebanon in 2000, the victory over the Israelis in the 2006 July War, and most recently the second liberation in 2017 from the terrorist groups that were occupying vast land in northern and eastern Bekaa regions near the Syrian borders.

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.
