  • The Fighting Conducted by Hezbollah in Maroun Al-Ras
    The fighting conducted by Hezbollah in Maroun al-Ras 30. Hezbollah’s deployment in Maroun al-Ras was divided into two parts: a. The deployment inside the village (about 25 operatives): based in the village’s highest region (the intelligence installation) and the village school that Hezbollah turned into a stronghold (no students were inside). b. The deployment in unpopulated areas (about 20 operatives): in those areas were located a rocket launching base and a cannon firing position aimed at Avivim (an Israeli village southeast of Maroun al-Ras). Some of them were skilled infantry operatives belonging to the organization’s Special Force. 31. The battles in the village took place on July 18-22. Hezbollah operatives mounted a stubborn resistance in which they used RPG-29 rockets and advanced anti-tank Metis-M missiles. Furthermore, they detonated powerful explosive charges and waged close-range combat. Twenty-four Hezbollah operatives were killed during the battles. 40 A Lebanese civilian antenna with Hezbollah’s listening device attached Watch tower Hezbollah’s intelligence and listening facility inside a bunker A Hezbollah intelligence and listening facility in the village of Maroun al-Ras. It was found in the highest region of the village. Inside was a list of the IDF’s tactical frequencies and transcripts of recorded materials, some from IDF units operating in the Palestinian Authority-administered territories. The listening activities in the facility were based on a Lebanese civilian infrastructure. Hezbollah made extensive use of the Lebanese civilian communications infrastructure, requiring the IDF to hit said infrastructure to disrupt Hezbollah’s communications and intelligence.

  • “Mouin Al-Taher: Epics of Steadfastness in Lebanon”. Dirasat Filastiniya, No
    Khoury, Elias and Michel Nawfal. “Mouin al-Taher: Epics of Steadfastness in Lebanon”. Dirasat Filastiniya, no. 94, Summer 2013 (pp. 85-117).. Translated by The Palestinian Revolution, 2016.1 Who chose the brigade’s name? Jabal al-Jormoq is the highest peak in Palestine. We chose that name because it symbolises the liberation of all of Palestine. Tell us about the 1978 invasion. It became clear that the situation was heading towards a wide Zionist military operation. This was especially the case following the failure of its agents in unifying al-Qleia’ and Marjeyoun strip with Ramish and Ain Ebel strip. This failure became clear after the pressure it applied on the border villages within the border strip failed to persuade these villages to join them. This made the enemy occupy Maroun el-Ras, which is located 940 meters above sea level and overlooks Palestine on one side and on the other overlooks Bint Jbeil, Ayatroun and the outskirts of Tebnine. We didn’t have any forces in Maroun el-Ras as we had an agreement with the two main families in the town declaring the town, like the rest of the border villages, as a neutral area. At dawn on 2 March 1978 Sami al-Shediaq’s forces supported by tanks occupied Maroun el-Ras. As a result Bint Jbeil was under their direct fire. The families started leaving the area and the situation became difficult. If the border villages kept falling under their control and their two strips were united we would be forced to retreat to the out skirts of Tebnine.

AN ANALYSIS OF HEZBOLLAH’S USE OF IRREGULAR WARFARE by STEPHEN KEITH MULHERN, B.A. Political Science THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at El Paso in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Intelligence and National Security Studies Program THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT EL PASO December 2012 Acknowledgements I would like to thank: Drs. Larry Valero, Charles Boehmer, and William Dean for taking the time to be part of this thesis. Lisa Tomaka, Nicholas Komorowski, and Dr. Dennis Soden for giving me a productive and supportive workplace. And my parents, Michael and Linda Mulhern, for giving me the parental support to finish this work. v Abstract Low-intensity conflicts and insurgencies have been on the rise since the end of World War II. A particularly strong example of these conflicts is the ongoing conflict between the Lebanese Hezbollah and the state of Israel. In the course of the conflict, Hezbollah was able to accomplish what other, more powerful Arab states could not; Hezbollah forced Israel to unilaterally end a conflict. How did Hezbollah accomplish this? This thesis will provide a qualitative analysis of Hezbollah’s use of the instruments of power in their irregular warfare strategy against Israel during the occupation of southern Lebanon.

  • Rapid Livelihoods Assessment in Southern Lebanon
    RAPID LIVELIHOODS ASSESSMENT IN SOUTHERN LEBANON TYRE CAZA (S OUTH LEBANON ) AND BINT JBEIL CAZA (N ABATYEH ) Map Source : UN OCHA Final Report Date: 29 th August, 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Save the Children carried out a rapid in the central part of southern Lebanon, covering much of Tyre and Bint Jbeil cazas, from August 18 th to 24 th . The objective was to provide a qualitative description of pre-conflict livelihood patterns in the area and to assess how those activities had been affected by the conflict. The population in the areas of the south assessed rely on various combinations of farming (mainly tobacco), remittances from relatives living overseas, local shops and services, daily labour in agriculture and in businesses and services and a small amount of formal employment. Some families keep cattle and goats, but the numbers are quite small in this area. Between 60-80% of people are involved in agriculture, but most of those do not rely on it alone as tobacco growing is not very lucrative. Incomes were said to be on average around US$500 per month, with the less well off sections of the population reliant on daily labour earning around US$330 per month. This income was more than adequate for purchasing basic needs, and thus levels of absolute poverty were very low. Physical conflict-related damage has mainly been in the form either of severe damage to a large portion of homes and businesses in some villages, or of destruction of a limited number of specific buildings within otherwise undamaged areas. The 34-day conflict led to the displacement of most of the population for 20-30 days in July and early August.

  • URGENT Lebanese Prisoners Detained in Syria: a Priority Question to Raise Before the Syrian Authorities
    URGENT Lebanese prisoners detained in Syria: A priority question to raise before the Syrian authorities Paris, 8 July 2005 Mouvement franco-libanais SOLIDA (Soutien aux Libanais Détenus Arbitrairement) Membre du Réseau Euro-Méditerranéen des Droits de l’Homme 28, Avenue des Princes – 93460 – GOURNAY SUR MARNE / France Tel/Fax : (33) 01 43 05 68 67 e-mail : [email protected] site Internet: www.solida.org Dear Madam, Dear Sir, You will soon examine the report presented by the Syrian Arab Republic in accordance with the article 40 of the pact. In this document, we are taking the liberty of bringing you some precisions in the absence of relevant answer from the Syrian government about point 13 of the list of issues. “13. Please provide information on steps taken to establish an independent commission of inquiry on the alleged disappearances of Syrian nationals and Lebanese nationals arrested in Lebanon by Syrian forces, then transferred to Syria (concluding observations of March 2001, paragraph 10)” (Syrian Arab Republic 28/04/2005. CCPR/C84/L/SYR) The SOLIDA movement (Support for Lebanese Detained Arbitrarily) feels sharply concerned by the situation of Lebanese detained in solitary confinement in the Syrian prisons. Since 1976, Syria resorts to kidnapping on the Lebanese territory. Nowadays, we assess that at least 200 Lebanese are still detained in Syria without having been judged, in solitary confinement and suffering from inhuman conditions. To give one example of conditions of detention suffered by these prisoners: in 1998, a Lebanese released from of a Syrian prison declared that he blinded himself in the eyes in order to be released and to escape his torturers.

During the war, the IDF attacked Hezbollah targets in these districts. 4 A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1. Since the mid-1980s, Hezbollah has entrenched itself in the Shi’ite slums of southern Beirut (called Dahiya). Hezbollah headquarters, bases, and main offices attacked by the Israeli Air Force during the war were situated in the district of Harat Hreik and, to a lesser extent, in nearby Shi’ite districts (Bir al-Abd, Al-Ruwis), in residential buildings, the vast majority of which were inhabited by civilians.1 Most Shi’ites residing in these districts are sympathetic to Hezbollah. They cooperate with the organization and are aware that it establishes its headquarters, bases, offices, and operatives’ residences in civilian houses. The Hezbollah stronghold in southern Beirut Right: Masses attending Hezbollah’s “victory rally” held in the eastern part of the Dahiya (Beirut’s southern suburb).

Natural resource management has been hailed as a tool for post-conflict peacebuilding because it can support economic recovery, develop- ment of sustainable livelihoods, dialogue, cooperation, and confidence building (UNEP 2009). This chapter covers the process of restoration of natural resources, essentially the land and its products, and infrastructure services, such as water, wastewater, and energy, which were damaged in southern Lebanon during the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel in the summer of 2006.
