Here is Dahiye. Here is Bekaa. Here is the steadfast south. Here is Lebanon, whose green cedars are watered by the red blood of the martyrs.

From the ashes and rubble of devastation, the resistance forges the dawn of victory, standing tall. Today, the streets of Dahiye, the valleys of the Bekaa, and the steadfast villages of the south pulse with renewed life, echoing the triumphant return of the landowners.

The procession of the people carried not only bodies, but their spirits, their flags soaring high above the destruction, and their determination to rebuild what has been destroyed with their own hands. In Al-Taybeh, the sons of the martyr Mohammed Arsalan arrived at the village in the first hours of the morning to be the first to carry the body of their martyred father from the battlefield.

Homes bombed, bridges shattered, crossings erased—all this has been reclaimed by the people who declare, “Never to humiliation!” With steadfastness, their own hands rebuild after 416 days of battle and 71 days of ruthless invasion.

Today, the flags of the zionist entity burn in the liberated villages and the flags of the resistance billow proudly in the wind. Lebanon writes its own narrative of liberation and victory. Joyful children once again fill the streets and the women affirm their support of their resistance.

The people stand proudly, savoring their shisha with a gesture of victory, waving flags of unity, disturbing sweets in a gesture of unity and celebration. Lambs were slaughtered in tribute to the triumph over oppression. Hamas members accompanied the return of the displaced to their villages. “Thank you for your support and your stance with us,” read a sign from Hamas.

Across Lebanon, roads are re-opened and rubble removal work continues. On the Syrian border, the vital crossings have been restored. Leaders such as Wafiq Safa, who the IOF failed to assassinate, made public appearances, and Hezbollah held a conference from the heart of Dahiye. Fighters reunited with their families after being in their combat nodes for weeks, some thought to have been martyred.

Among the rubble, fighters also left letters in homes of the south— wills, heartfelt messages of support and sacrifice.”Pray for me to enter Paradise, and I will pray for you.” One letter was written during a powerful raid, while another asked for forgiveness, leaving money for food eaten; the men of Allah show humility and unending loyalty to the popular cradle. “May you return to your homes safely with dignity.” And indeed, with their heads held high, they did.

The truce came on the terms of the resistance. The resistance’s efforts were commended across the Axis, from Yemen to Iraq to Gaza. Hezbollah affirms its  support for Gaza, Palestine, and its resistance will never falter.

Here stands Dahiye, here stands the Bekaa, here stands the south. Here is Lebanon—its heart beating strong, its people alive, and its spirit unfaltering. The joyous return of its popular cradle is a testament to a nation that will never kneel, a nation that rose as one in support of the oppressed. Let it be a prelude for the coming liberation.
