The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has released the video of a simulated attack on an Israeli military outpost north of the occupied Palestinian territories.

Hezbollah’s media bureau released a six-minute video of the operation on Sunday, a few days after Lebanon marked the 17th anniversary of Israel’s 33-day war in the summer of 2006.

Entitled “No one can overcome you,” the video shows resistance fighters taking over the Israeli outpost, erecting Hezbollah banners, and demolishing the outpost while the occupation soldiers were trapped inside.

The video was published amid heightened tensions along Lebanon’s border with the occupied lands.

On Wednesday, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the 2006 victory laid the groundwork for putting up deterrence that continues to exist to this day and has led to the erosion of Israeli deterrence.

“The Israeli enemy was seeking, by all means, to prevent the strengthening of the Resistance in Lebanon but to no avail, despite all the circumstances,” he added.

Nasrallah further said the 2006 victory put the Te Aviv regime on the decline and marked a defining moment in Lebanon’s history, shaping its destiny in the region for the years to come.

Lebanon fought off two Israeli wars in 2000 and 2006. On both occasions, battleground contribution by Hezbollah proved an indispensable asset, forcing the Israeli military into a retreat and shattering the myth of Israel’s invincibility.
