Hezbollah Chief to Deliver Speech on Anniversary of 33-Day War
According to Al-Ahed News, the speech will mark the 15th anniversary of the resistance movement’s victory in the 33-Day War.
Starting at 8:30 PM local time, it is also expected to feature the current political, social and economic situations in Lebanon.
The Tel Aviv regime launched two wars on Lebanon in 2000 and 2006. About 1,200 Lebanese, most of them civilians, were killed in the 33-Day War of 2006.
On both occasions, however, Hezbollah fighters defeated the Israeli forces and Tel Aviv was forced to retreat without achieving any of its objectives.
The conflict in 2006, also known as the July War or 33-Day War, took place in Lebanon, northern parts of Occupied Palestine and the Golan Heights.
It started in July 2006, and continued until a United Nations-brokered ceasefire went into effect in the morning on August 14 that year, though it formally ended on September 8 when Israel lifted its naval blockade of Lebanon.
