Over the course of eighteen relentless years, between 1982 and 2000, the determined people of Lebanon waged a tireless struggle to liberate their homeland from the grip of the oppressive Israeli occupation.
On the 25th anniversary of south Lebanon liberation, Al-Manar has prepared a professionally curated timeline that chronicles the key moments of a resistance movement defined by courage, sacrifice and determination.
The early years following the Israeli invasion of Lebanon saw the emergence of grassroots resistance, often met with brutal Israeli force, and marked by the tragic assassinations of visionary leaders whose deaths became rallying cries for justice.
Despite overwhelming odds, the resistance carried out a series of heroic operations—strategic assaults on Zionist occupation outposts that demonstrated remarkable bravery and tactical precision. Each mission, though costly, brought new hope and rallied the people under a shared sense of purpose.
People endured loss, communities faced devastation, but the collective will never wavered. This timeline also highlights the powerful role of media in keeping the world informed, documenting the resilience of a nation in its darkest hours.
As the years progressed, cracks began to appear in the occupier’s control, and by the final phase, a unified resistance reclaimed the land with dignity and determination. The liberation on May 25th, 2000 stands not only as a political victory but as a profound human triumph—meticulously recorded here to honor the sacrifices and preserve the truth for generations to come.
