great victory for hisbollah. all regional media outlets were covering every single moment of the celebration, but at the event, there was an empty chair. the chair belonged to the only libanese prisoner who had not been released. the only lebanese prisoner who of the israelis had explicitly refused to release. هلا شهر اثنين ثلاثه شو بصير ببين كان of يجب ان يطلق سراحه الان وان يكون على هذا الكرسي هذه هي الحقيقه الان يعيدون نفس الخطا ما اريد ان اقوله كان يجب على العدو ان يطلق سمير القنطار الان ولانه لم يفعل انا اؤكد لكم انه سوف يندم في المستقبل. regretting it in

the future only meant one thing, taking israeli prisoners again. it was a difficult and complex operation which the secretary general had announced to his jihadi forces in front of the cameras of different news outlets and not in secret. the operation of would be directly planned and executed by his jihadi deputy, a man who very few people knew a secret named haj radwan. he was born in 1962 in beirot's shiah neighborhood. his father owned a small.

restaurant and his mother, who was pius woman, would hold religious studies classes for the ladies in the neighborhood. he was the first child of their small family. he grew up and went to school in the same neighborhood. he was 13 years old when their normal life was suddenly turned upside down. in 1975, a civil war broke out between left and right-wing parties. the war tore beirot apart in two sections. many of the people who lived in the neighborhoods where the war was being fought, left their homes and took refuge in. villages. he, along with his
10:06 am
family, was forced to move to his father's ancestoral village in the south. this unwanted migration made him more familiar with palestinian groups. he underwent initial military trainings in palestinian camps and became an official member of the fatah organization. upon his return to beirot, because of his intelligence and courage, he made great progress in fatah and became member of the elite. forces 17, an intelligence force at the heart of the fatah organization which was responsible for the personal security of the leaders of the organization and combatting mosad's activities. he became familiar with imam komaini with the victory of the islamic revolution of iran. he like many other muslim youths slowly became captivated by amaja who had defeated the show. of iran with empty

hands. his concerned was the liberation of palestine and had made islam the basis of his government. on june the 6th, 1982, when ariel sheron gave the orders to attack lebanon, he had traveled to iran as the bodyguard of sayed mohammed hussein fazlullah. they had come to tehran to take part in the conferences of liberation movements, but he also had a personal motivation, meeting amom komeini. it was a dream that many lebanese muslim youths had in those days, but were... the israeli attack on lebanon cut the conferences short and the participants quickly returned to lebanon. he also went back to lebanon after meeting with imam komeini. when they arrived, the east of beirot had been occupied and some neighborhoods were besieged by the israeli forces. in their first attack, he and a group
10:08 am
of his friends were able to destroy an israeli tank and personal carrier. word of this attack caused the lebanese army to open up case against him accusing him. of fighting israel, the case was filed under his real name adnet. after the occupation, lebanon had become another country. palestinian fighters had been expelled, a pro israeli government was in place and the massacres of sabra and shatila had wiped away the courage the... people to resist, the days of absolute hopelessness and fear had begun, but in the fall of that year, an important event took place in the south. it was rainy morning when a white poujo 504 sped its way into the
10:09 am
israeli military headquarters in the city of tyre. there was a huge explosion and few seconds later, the building housing the israeli forces came crashing down on them. in one today, in one attack, more than 100 israeli officers and soldiers were killed. the attack became the biggest anti-israeli operation in the history of the resistance. it was after this attack which imad, as one the main planners began living in hiding. the 1980s were a difficult time for western. forces in lebanon and the name imad was word of mouth as the cause of these difficult days.
10:10 am
even though during these days he had his own independent group and organization, he used all his power to establish, shape and... to strengthen hezbollah, and his preference was to fight israel with his own group, his own way, and with a free hand. intelligence services from different countries were after his arrest or assassination, a ghost who would easily pass the borders of different countries, but they were never able to pinpoint his location. he had dedicated his life to the struggle with israel.
10:11 am
when sayad hasan nasrollah became secretary general, imad became the leader of hizbullah's intelligence apparatus and used all his experience for hezbollah to have the upper hand when it's came to the information warfare with israel, this upper hand proved itself with the successful assassinations of israeli commanders and the leaders of the lahad army, but the more significant event happened in 1997 when he was able to decode the imagery of israeli drones, and with that he was able to cause the defeat of the israeli special forces unit in ansaria village. the ansaria... operation was the first time in israeli history that its special forces unit had been defeated. year after the ansaria operation, hajmad became syasrolah's jihadi deputy and chose the name hajj radhwan for himself. while maintaining
10:12 am
his previous role in the intelligence apparatus, he also took over command of hezbollah's military. it didn't take long before operations against israel became more extensive and goal oriented, he used the years of experience he had in the intelligence fight against israel in military operations. he was a commander who would count on all financial and الامكانات اصل, البرامج اصل, التكتيك اصل, صياغه الاهداف اصل, وضع السياسات اصل, وضع الاساليب والطرائق للعمل الاصل، لكن الاصل الرئيسي هو الروحي الروح.

two years later, israel withdrew from lebanese soil. this was the first time that israel was forced to leave the areas it had occupied because of resistance operations, and again haj radwan's name was registered as a leading role in israel's historic withdrawal. but the story didn't end there, there were still many lebanese prisoners in israeli jails, something hisbollah could not ignore, even though taking israeli hostages was difficult and impossible, it seemed to be the only way to get the prisoners released. haj radwan was the commander of this impossible mission in the ship of farms.
10:14 am
it was after this operation that negotiations to exchange prisoners sped up. four years of indirect negotiations between hizbollah and israel came to fruition on thursday, january 29, 2004. 439 prisoners and 59 marters were exchanged. with a mosad officer and the bodies of three israeli soldiers. this left
10:15 am
only one lebanese prisoner in israeli custody. this was why hezbollah's secretary general promised more hostage takings in the ceremony to welcome the prisoners. it was obvious that he was counting on the capability and power of a commander who had spent his entire life fighting israel. haj radwan had to carry out the operation a time. when the enemy had put its forces total standby, he chose an elite group of hezbollah's best forces and held difficult and clear cut training sessions for them. he was present for the trainings because he wanted to personally make sure that the operation would succeed.

missile launch pads, not knowing that they had once again been tricked and fallen in the trap of haj radwan. in the previous years he had allowed israel to identify centers where hisbollah had its missil so that israeli intelligence capabilities would focus on these unreal targets. the general staff of the israeli military directly informed the prime minister of the
10:18 am
destruction of these targets and congratulated him on winning the war, but exactly. the next day more than 100 missiles were launched at israeli settlements. after that, and for weeks, the israeli air force was bombing lebanon indiscriminately, only with the hope of destroying hezbollah's launchpads, and on the other side, hezbollah missiles were targeting occupied palestine, including hyfa. this caused the commander of the israeli forces to... decide to launch a ground attack on lebanon by counting on their merkava tanks. badhaj radwan and the other resistance commanders had already predicted the attack. hizbollah fighters used cornet missiles and roadside bombs to block the path the israeli attack. in the end, after 33
10:19 am
days, the israelies gave into a cease fire without being able to get their hostages back or dis'. launch pads and this was how the longest war israel had fought ended in its defeat. two years after the third. the three-day war, the israelis were forced to release samir qontar and other prisoners that hezbollah wanted. haj radwan was not present on that day, but he had planned the hostage taking operation in such a way that the israelis were not able to know whether their hostages were dead or alive even after he was gone. on

something they have done to the palestinians, just name it and it's something they did, like for example they said uh um that on october 7th uh that babies were beheaded, this is a lie, but did israel behead babies? yes, what do you think happens when you drop bombs that that flatten entire buildings, people get decapitated, this is normal right uh, this is all over gaza, not just babies, just people, all over people losing their limbs um getting crushed by by you cement by by concrete, it's horrible uh and then they said babies were put an oven, it this didn't happen on october 7th, but before that uh, there is someone, a palestinian, i showed you the video who literally he saw the israelis
10:26 am
in front of him throw baby in an oven and then the father in the oven as well, so no matter what you what the israel say, it's always projection, it's always something that they have done to the palestinians or the lebanese or the syrians, every single time, every time, when they say hamas or isis, israel. are actually isis, when they say hamas a terrorist, israel is the terrorist, every single claim they make is a lie and it's projection. whenever you hear the israelies make a claim, you will always remember this, and then you you will understand that whatever comes out of their mouth is is 180 degrees the wrong way, it's it's completely upside down and it's projection. the sun shown to announce the beginning of new day. it was the 13th day of the war on the gazas rap. look at the missile, what did we do to deserve being hit by this? the army bombed the children on the
