The Resistance Committees in Palestine asserted on Saturday that the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, the subsequent Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005, Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, and the global movement rejecting the Israeli entity and its leaders —investigating, boycotting, and holding them accountable at all levels— are all indicators of the impending demise of this entity.

On the anniversary of Resistance and Liberation Day in Lebanon, the Resistance Committees emphasized that the Palestinian people would continue their resistance and steadfastness, supported by all fronts of the Axis of Resistance, spearheaded by Hezbollah, until victory is achieved.

On this occasion, which this year falls "amid the convoys of martyrs presented by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon on the road to al-Quds," the committees extended their congratulations to the brotherly Lebanese people and the members of Hezbollah and its leadership, led by Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.

The committees described the Day of Resistance and Liberation as "a turning point and an important milestone in the nation’s history," serving as a fundamental inspiration and motivation for the Palestinian people and their resistance to continue opposing the occupation.

The Resistance Committees in Palestine called on the people of the nation and all free people worldwide to escalate acts of solidarity and support for the Palestinian people and their resistance, condemning the genocide, murder, and ethnic cleansing committed by the occupation against children, women, and innocent people in Palestine, especially in the Gaza Strip.

Unprecedented victory

May 25 marks the anniversary of Resistance and Liberation Day, which the Lebanese people have celebrated annually since 2000. On this day, the resistance succeeded in driving the Israeli occupation army out of the occupied Lebanese territories in the South, with the exception of the Shebaa Farms and the Kfarshouba hills.

The Resistance's achievement was unprecedented in the history of the war with "Israel," as the Israeli withdrawal occurred in the dark to escape the strikes of the resistance fighters, without any restrictions or conditions, following years of persistent resistance efforts.

This year, the anniversary coincides with the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon engaging in heroic efforts in support of Gaza and response to Israeli attacks on Lebanese villages. There is a clear acknowledgment by the Israeli occupation army of the failure of deterrence against Hezbollah, accompanied by widespread fear of an expanded response. The northern settlements near the border with Lebanon have seen the evacuation of more than 250,000 settlers, turning them into "ghost cities," as recognized by the Israeli media.
