Resistance, Most Effective Weapon against Zionists: Rezaei
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Secretary of Iran's Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei referred to the resistance as the most powerful means against the Zionist regime’s continued crimes.
In a message to Secretary General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, Rezaei stressed that resistance is the most effective weapon in the battle against the Zionist regime’s “child-killing headsmen”.
He congratulated Nasrallah on the anniversary of Hezbollah’s victory over the Zionist regime in the 33-day war of 2006, and said the concurrence of the anniversary with the heroic resistance of the Palestinian people in Gaza is an opportunity for all freedom-seeking people of the world to praise resistance and underline the fact that the Zionist regime is on the path of decline and annihilation.
The 33-day war, also called the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War and known in Lebanon as the July War, was a military conflict in Lebanon, northern Israel and the Golan Heights.
The conflict started on July 2006, and continued until a United Nations-brokered ceasefire went into effect in the morning on 14 August 2006, though it formally ended on 8 September 2006 when Israel lifted its naval blockade of 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.
