May 25, 2000, Hezbollah had achieved the impossible
May 25, 2000, day of glorious miracle that came true
The past broke off from the present on May 25, 2000 to date the miracle of forcing out the Israeli army from the vast majority of occupied Lebanese lands came true. It was the day when Lebanon through its resistance defeated the "legendary" army"; something Arab states failed to achieve and UN Security Council resolutions left undone.
When Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982, the UN Security Council issued resolution 425 binding Israel to withdraw immediately from this Arab country. The resolution was never implemented and Israel was forced out of this country under the strikes of the resistance.
On the eve of May 25, 2000, the defeated Israeli army closed the gate behind the last occupation soldier confirming Hezbollah had achieved the impossible. The detainees at the Khiam detention center were still unaware of what's happening. The collaborators had isolated them from the whole world.

On May 26, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stood in the town of Bint Jbeil overlooking occupied Palestine and challenged the defeated enemy as he dedicated the triumph to whomever contributed in realizing it; those who fought, died, shed blood, stood steadfast and supported the resistance even with a prayer. The Cabinet of the then Prime Minister Salim Hoss announced the 25th of May of every year a day for the Resistance and Liberation. However the government of Fouad Saniora, which has lost its legitimacy, cancelled this day from the list of holidays. The ruling bloc of Saniora announced the 25th of May, 2007 a holiday marking the "Day of Liberation", but deleted the word "Resistance." This is the same resistance that nine months ago inflicted the Israeli army yet another defeat during the 34-day Israeli war against Lebanon.
It was the first time in history that a triumphant resistance force leaves those who collaborated with the enemy to be dealt with by the judiciary. Hundreds of collaborators surrendered to the resistance which in turn handed them to the Lebanese army, other fled to occupied Palestine, where they were humiliated, beaten and neglected. The czar and once powerful leader of collaborators, Antoine Lahd, was the first to abandon his subjects, and is now running a small restaurant in occupied Palestine. He's become known as the "Hommos seller."
