The fighters show where the "blue line" marking the border between Lebanon and Palestine is located. The location is important to people of honor and patriotism because it is a sacred place for each individual. The Lebanese army, with advanced weaponry, was unable to defeat the resistance in a unified group, which shows that courage is not based on weapons or force, but rather on courage. This was also the beginning of the end for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which was founded here. The 1982 Lebanon War ended on September 29th, 1982. At the time, nobody could have known that the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon would continue for another 18 years. However, 40 years after the war started, Hezbollah has become a powerful political and social force in Lebanon and the Middle East, and is no longer just a resistance movement against Israel.

• 00:10:00 In 1982, Hezbollah decided to resist the invasion. They created a group called the "Nine," which had nine members. They went to Iran and asked for support, and through cooperation with Iran and revolutionary training, they created what we now call Hezbollah. In providing arms and training to Hezbollah's brothers Chiites, Iran ensured that it had a powerful ideological and strategic lever in the Middle East. Very popular in the Beqaa Valley, Hezbollah quickly became the leading rebel group in Lebanon, under the leadership of their future leader, the future. Hezbollah's actions - including terrorist attacks in Lebanon and abroad - have been blamed on them by numerous nations, and over time, Hezbollah has been dubbed a terrorist organization by the United States and other Western countries. To this day, Hezbollah defends their actions with vigor, claiming that they are engaged in only military resistance, placing themselves under the banner of Resistance. Many Lebanese, Arabs, and Palestinians have also formed their own Resistance groups, some of which are affiliated with Hezbollah. I would like to discuss this issue with you using science, reason, and evidence. Anyone who wishes to accuse someone must provide evidence. Agreement to accuse must come from both parties.

The economic situation in the region was dire, and in 1997, Hezbollah's supporters made a revolution to improve conditions. However, instead of defending the people, Hezbollah initially withdrew to let the army take action. This turned out to be a mistake, as the army abused its power and became corrupt. As Hezbollah's political influence grew, it became more bourgeois and was betrayed by its involvement in Lebanese politics. Hezbollah's original ideals of defending the poor and developing Lebanon were forsaken in favor of sectarian slogans and religious fervor. Violence and harassment against the party's members has continued ever since, with militants firing shots at their homes and cars. Mohamed, a candidate for Hezbollah's parliamentary elections, has been campaigning against the ruling party with old slogans from 1400 years ago. He has received support from fighters stationed in Balbec, a stronghold of Hezbollah since the 1970s.
