After Israeli forces encircled Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon and the town, located about 5 km from the border, fell militarily, a photo of a soldier from the Israeli “Givati Brigade” inside the town circulated.
According to Israeli media, the image shows the soldier standing in front of a memorial wall dedicated to Hezbollah fighters killed in previous clashes with Israel.
Bint Jbeil holds particular symbolic significance for Hezbollah beyond its military and strategic importance. It was there that former Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah delivered the “Liberation Speech” on May 26, 2000, the day after Israeli forces withdrew from southern Lebanon following a 22-year occupation. It also served as the stage for his famous statement during the July 2006 war victory celebrations, in which he described Israel as “weaker than a spider’s web.”
