00:00:32funerals. I didn't go to
00:00:56we came back here to
00:01:07longer sits at
00:01:40the village. On
00:01:40were waiting for their owners. and came to
00:02:20And then when we returned to
00:02:28The return is not a path. It is a covenant that
00:02:31never ends, no matter how long the absence and no matter
00:02:34how much the wars have burdened the days,
00:02:37the land still calls, and its people do not miss
00:02:40it. Hearts still have a direction that
00:02:44distances do not change. Here in
00:02:47Al-Abbasiya, the past months were not
00:02:50just a time of waiting, but
00:02:54a test of a relationship that wars
00:02:57He arrived at do not sever between man and his land, and the
00:03:00harshness of
00:03:03Hamza was one separation affects it. Today, its people return,
00:03:06not to reclaim houses only, but to restore
00:03:10the pulse to the place and confirm that what
00:03:13is built with belonging and watered by sacrifices cannot
00:03:16be destroyed by wars, nor can
00:03:19its features be erased by
00:03:22someone was requested from years. From here, the story begins
00:03:25between the moment of departure and the moment of return. Long months of
00:03:29waiting passed, but some places do not leave
00:03:33their owners, no matter how far they go. Today,
00:03:36the people of the South return to the villages they carried
00:03:40with them in memory. Here we
00:03:43start
00:03:45has history. This our story at the beginning of the village. Honestly,
00:03:48my heart is pounding, there's something inside me
00:03:52that makes me feel like I'm here, like
00:03:55a flower in the soil that grows in the pot. You can't take it out of it if
00:03:59it's something like this. I feel like the seller
00:04:02is, I don't know, I'll see, maybe
00:04:05I'll find a house, I mean, if the house is gone, it's normal, because
00:04:09periods. So the shelter center what's more precious than the house literally,
00:04:12but this is our trace in life, our trace, we will remain here no matter what
00:04:16we sacrifice for it, and no matter what we want to sacrifice for it, and no matter what,
00:04:19we will keep carrying it. Unfortunately,
00:04:22we are always sacrificing, but I'll tell you,
00:04:25I don't know if anyone is sacrificing for us.
00:04:28بعرف.
00:04:31But the South remains
00:04:34land reclaims its owners. Here in 2035 square, not missing thanks
00:04:37from the time of the Phoenicians. Prince Alaa, his relationship was
00:04:40tense with some. Prince Alaa was a resistant, meaning from the time of
00:04:43I tell them, maybe it's foggy in the Phoenicians, we have been resisting, not meaning we are from
00:04:47a history of only 1400 years, and we are still resisting until
00:04:50today. We will resist, we will resist. History writes
00:04:53itself, and we are reborn with a new generation that
00:04:57will resist. This is how we are used to, this is how we are, and this is what will happen
00:05:01to us. That's why we are not afraid of anything that happens
00:05:03to us.
00:05:21Thank God, the blessings of the Lord of the worlds, that I found the house. It's not
00:05:24a thought of something when you look at yourself in your house, harmed, say thank
00:05:28God, because you look at the issue of someone else, for example, our neighbor
00:05:31who is more harmed than you, you look at our other neighbor whose house is gone,
00:05:34you look and say, like we have a saying that we have memorized,
00:05:38he who sees someone else's misfortune, his misfortune is on his own misfortune. So how about the one who
00:05:41also, other than the one whose house is gone, someone relieved him, this
00:05:45you walk, you walk on the principle of gradualness.
00:05:49So in the matter of life, that the house is also
00:05:52expensive, I mean, I'll tell it as it is. One enters his house
00:05:56and comes out with his memories. As soon as you find yourself away from your house for a day, I mean,
00:06:00two, three months, which is this period, one day
00:06:03you find yourself back home, automatically, a flashback comes to you about
00:06:07the last day you were in this house. So the last day in this house was Ramadan,
00:06:10and the situation was normal. And we were living normally in this
00:06:13house, and suddenly it was like, "Let's
00:06:17go." The first thing I thought about was the argument, meaning,
00:06:21I have a responsibility for this person, she is my trust.
00:06:25And also, what does another person have, and what does another person have, and what does another person have? So you look
00:06:29at your life and yourself that life is
00:06:32this short, and at the same time, how much you have
00:06:35the instinct, the instinct to live, you are left to resist, even
00:06:38to live. This in itself is resistance. Houses
00:06:41are not just walls, they are the memory we return
00:06:45to whenever distances narrow around us. And in these
00:06:48houses, complete ages of memories
00:07:18When we found out there were several raids on our village,
00:07:22we said, "Not the stones." We said, "Not the stones, they'll go,
00:07:25we'll come back, everything will be rebuilt, but hopefully, the people in our hearts
00:07:29will be fine."
00:07:33the village and the ceasefire happened,
00:07:36we prayed in our house. A martyr
00:07:39came out. We were saddened, we were upset,
00:07:42but nothing is
00:07:45more precious than humans. The stones can be replaced,
00:07:48everything. And
00:07:52this house, which was the family home that gathered all of us,
00:07:56our gatherings, our lives, our holidays, we used to spend
00:07:59all our time here, and we returned
00:08:03to our land, we returned to our home,
00:08:06and the entire South belongs to us, and everything here
00:08:09belongs to us, and we will rebuild, we will
00:08:12build. Even if we make a tent, we will sit in it,
00:08:15we will return, no matter how much we are displaced, no matter how much we leave,
00:08:19we will return at the first opportunity we get,
00:08:23we will return to our home and our land.
00:08:43Thank God, thank God that we returned to our homes, certainly thanks
00:08:46to God, the mujahideen, the youth, and the pure blood
00:08:50that was shed. Thank God, but as for us
00:08:53as a house, it certainly
00:08:57house, I inherited it from my family, it's not
00:09:01messed with, not worked on. Everything that was worked on it, was worked on,
00:09:04nothing was changed in its external appearance,
00:09:07based on the fact that it holds the memories of the primary family, the
00:09:11father, the mother, the whole family grew
00:09:14up here. It has many great
00:09:17memories. I got married, had children, and have a family here.
00:09:21Of course, it has many great
00:09:24and precious memories. As for these matters, with the Israelis, God help
00:09:27us. The Israeli sheds blood
00:09:31of children without permission, orphans families
00:09:35without permission, and perhaps they consider
00:09:38this an achievement. And praise be to God, praise be to God, praise
00:09:41be to God. Thanks to God and the mujahideen
00:09:45and the pure blood that was shed, we were able to return
00:09:49and we were able, God willing, to build
00:09:51and live better than before. Thank God, in the previous
00:09:55war,
00:09:57they called it the war of support or something like that.
00:10:00I was also out
00:10:02at
00:10:054 AM. I was here. My house
00:10:08wasn't hit, meaning my house was glass, meaning it wasn't hit.
00:10:14I was here at 4 AM,
00:10:15and now
00:10:18when the strike happened,
00:10:20frankly, my dearest friends,
00:10:24I was with them always,
00:10:26we used to sit with them constantly in front of the shops,
00:10:30meaning God
00:10:33chose them and they received the medal of martyrdom. Thank
00:10:36God, they ended their lives with a very
00:10:40high medal of martyrdom. At the moment of the strike,
00:10:43frankly, the first ones I lost were them. They
00:10:46told me that
00:10:47they were martyred.
00:10:51So I won't hide it from you, that morning I
00:10:54attended their
00:10:57bed. Excuse me, the word
00:11:00"house" is very, very, very precious to
00:11:03every breadwinner, and there are proverbs that say
00:11:07that livelihood is equivalent to the soul, but thank God, there is something more precious than the soul,
00:11:11which is honor, dignity, and land, because
00:11:14these are the basics to be able to build a house and make
00:11:18a shirt and a soul. While many
00:11:22left, others chose memories.
00:11:38I am sick. I have a condition in my heart. I have a pacemaker. I have
00:11:42a valve. The doctor used to tell me to be careful, and I told them I wanted to stay
00:11:45in my land. They told me to leave. I told them, "No, this is
00:11:48my land, this is my country, this is our home." We didn't imagine people
00:11:52would return. This is our homeland. This is our soil.
00:11:57When you hear the call to prayer in your country,
00:12:00you feel something not normal.
00:12:04We don't leave. For whom? In the first period, some shops were still
00:12:08open, meaning there was a time when the plane
00:12:12would come out, we wouldn't show up, but
00:12:15we would show up and warn how to go get our groceries. But
00:12:19thank God, thank God.
00:12:22The young men who stayed here, all of them, God helped them,
00:12:25they gave,
00:12:26they gave
00:12:30more than you can imagine.
00:12:34I mean, thank God, Al-Abbasiya
00:12:37is my country, my blood, my soil,
00:12:40my children, my siblings, my
00:12:43whole life. Since 1978, I was
00:12:46only eight years old and witnessed war here. How can I
00:12:49leave it? My children say if anything happens again, my children
00:12:53say if anything happens again, we won't leave, we'll stay on our land.
00:13:13The steadfast people in Al-Abbasiya, we made a decision from the very
00:13:16first day, from the municipality of Al-Abbasiya, to
00:13:19repair the electricity network, repair
00:13:22water malfunctions, and open roads.
00:13:27The electricity subscription line. So there was a complete working team
00:13:31on this matter. We, throughout the war,
00:13:34the power outage did not exceed four days only, due to
00:13:38urgent malfunctions that would occur at night due to
00:13:41shelling or a night targeting. We
00:13:45couldn't move safely because of this.
00:13:48The shelter center,
00:13:51we, the Union of Tyre Municipalities, thank
00:13:54you, and the South Council, thank you, we were able
00:13:57to secure its basic needs of mattresses,
00:14:00blankets, pillows, hot meals daily,
00:14:03food rations, hygiene rations throughout
00:14:07the war, which lasted three months and 20 days.
00:14:11The shelter center still today
00:14:14includes about 20 families. And
00:14:18if things continue this way, we will reopen it
00:14:22completely because there are many families from the villages that
00:14:25are occupied or the villages that are liberated,
00:14:29but most of their houses are gone, in need of shelter for certain
00:14:34is still operating until today.
00:14:37The residents and the people of the South in general,
00:14:41believe me, they don't need a house to return to,
00:14:44they just need land. Any
00:14:47Southerner is willing to come and bring his tent
00:14:50and set it up, as long as he is on his land,
00:14:53because the land is
00:14:55our land, it is our dignity. Houses are there to strengthen us, but the most important thing
00:14:59is the land.
00:15:03And now you feel a stage that many people feel is foggy.
00:15:08the short term, but in the long term, there's no way.
00:15:12We fought this enemy for 18 years and liberated it,
00:15:16and we'll fight it for 18 or 20 years, and we'll liberate it again.
00:15:20The South has been attached to its land since the days of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari. We
00:15:24are on this land and we will remain on this land until, God willing, the appearance of
00:15:27the Imam. We will not leave this land. We have watered it with the blood
00:15:31of the mujahideen and the blood of civilians. The land for which we have sacrificed so much,
00:15:35we will never give up on it. So the return
00:15:38is always because we love this land so much. It is
00:15:42our land, it is our dignity, it is our religion. That's
00:15:45why you find that
00:15:48they would say there was a ceasefire at 12 o'clock, and you would find people
00:15:52in the villages at 11:30. The future is
00:15:55definitely ours, but it's a stage that requires
00:15:58patience, a stage that requires sacrifice,
00:16:02because the goal is something very big. The goal
00:16:05is victory over an enemy
00:16:08who possesses what he possesses in superiority.
00:16:12And clinging to the land, these things require a great price and require patience.
00:16:16They might come and say, "Go back to your villages." We replied, "No, we are sacrificing
00:16:19blood, we are sacrificing from
00:16:22our livelihoods, and God willing, we will return to our land. We are
00:16:25on our land. The land we returned to,
00:16:29the land that is currently occupied, we will reclaim it, and God
00:16:32willing, even Jerusalem. Many returned to their homes,
00:16:36but some returned to the absence of their loved ones. In
00:16:40every home there is a story, and in every story there is a name that no
00:16:45the table. On May 31st,
00:17:00at 7:26 AM precisely, we were subjected to a very
00:17:04violent raid in the village. As usual, we headed to the site of the raid
00:17:07to check if there were martyrs or injured. When I arrived,
00:17:11I found my father's motorcycle.
00:17:14It was a shock. First thing, the first person I found
00:17:18was my father. I carried him, I carried him to the ground,
00:17:21I put him on the stretcher, I gave him to the young men who took him to the hospital,
00:17:25and the first thing I did was notify my family. And while my father was being
00:17:28put in the ambulance, there was also a young man next
00:17:32to me, a friend of mine named Ali Khalil, who was also martyred four
00:17:36days after my father. We are steadfast here, just like
00:17:39the civilian people who stood firm in case, God
00:17:43forbid, there were raids, injured, or martyrs, so that we could rescue them,
00:17:47so that we could save lives, not just us as an organization, but
00:17:51also the Islamic Message Association also remained
00:17:54steadfast with us. We were one hand, shoulder to shoulder
00:17:57with each other, to try to relieve the people as much
00:18:00as we could.
00:18:11On the 6th of the month, at around noon,
00:18:15they called me and said there was a drone raid near the cemetery.
00:18:19I turned around and set off, not knowing who the people were or anything. When
00:18:23I arrived, I was surprised to find three of my friends, one of them, as they
00:18:26say, a lifelong friend, my dearest friend. I
00:18:29went down and checked. The first young man turned out to be martyred.
00:18:34our hospital.
00:18:36It was very difficult for us, regardless
00:18:40of everything that happened. That day was very difficult
00:18:43for us, regardless of the martyrs who died. There were
00:18:47also many martyrs who died before for this
00:18:49land. The Israeli enemy coveted
00:18:53our land to occupy it. And thanks to
00:18:57the blood of the martyrs and the blood of the wounded, it is impossible for them to take an inch of
00:19:00our land.
00:19:22I have four martyrs, two sons
00:19:25and two grandsons.
00:19:30I have Qasim and Ali,
00:19:32Mahdi,
00:19:34and Hussein.
00:19:37Let me talk about Qasim and about
00:19:39Ali.
00:19:42Ali specifically and Qasim are among the young people who
00:19:46love life. They love life
00:19:49with dignity. They love life
00:19:51with
00:19:54honor.
00:19:57Therefore, they chose to defend the
00:20:01land and and
00:20:04the holy sites.
00:20:07To live with dignity on the soil of the homeland,
00:20:10to live a life of honor.
00:20:13We taught people who were successful in their lives.
00:20:16Ali was one of the ambitious
00:20:19young people.
00:20:22Ali worked very hard
00:20:25for his future.
00:20:28He stayed up late, it took
00:20:32a lot from him, it took effort from him, it took
00:20:35toil. He, I'm telling you, the best podcast, but I'll come back
00:20:38to do it, meaning we were lucky.
00:20:42Every time I remember when I wanted to do it here, I would write in black,
00:20:45its decorations and so on, and not on October 7th. Now we're doing it in
00:20:493D, meaning that's it.
00:20:53So in the war,
00:20:57he kept defending.
00:20:59And
00:21:02he decided to defend
00:21:06his homeland and his land,
00:21:09so that we can live with honor.
00:21:13When we went down to the car and I got in
00:21:16the car, I couldn't comprehend that the one
00:21:20who was always by my side, whom I used to kiss and sit next to,
00:21:24now I'm seeing him martyred in front of me. I'm seeing his car that
00:21:27the enemy targeted burned and charred
00:21:30in front of me. This scene
00:21:33affected me greatly, and I started crying, and my grandfather came
00:21:37here and hugged me, and my uncle, the mukhtar, took our picture
00:21:41when the ceasefire
00:21:43happened. When
00:21:46the village, the first thing I thought of
00:21:50was my uncle. I mean, I immediately
00:21:54thought of them. As soon as I came back, I went to them
00:21:56and visited them. We recited Al-Fatiha,
00:21:59and on this day, I visited them several times, and I even
00:22:03sat at night and lit
00:22:05candles for them. This land means
00:22:09a lot to us. I mean, if it didn't mean anything to my uncle or
00:22:12to my father or to all the martyrs, they wouldn't
00:22:16have been martyred and sacrificed their precious blood.
00:22:20The land. When the ceasefire
00:22:23happened, we immediately packed
00:22:27our clothes
00:22:30the way, I was thinking of my father
00:22:34and my uncle. I missed them so much,
00:22:37and the first thing I wanted to do was
00:22:40visit them. And as soon as we arrived, we immediately
00:22:44slept. We arrived at night. The next
00:22:48day, I immediately went to them in the morning and sat
00:22:51with them and recited Al-Fatiha for them.
00:22:54My father and his uncle were martyred
00:22:57to defend this land, and so that
00:23:00the enemy would not take this land that belongs to us,
00:23:04because this land is where we grew up, and it's where we have
00:23:08all our memories, and our laughter,
00:23:11and it's where we cried and were sad, and where we rejoiced,
00:23:15and where we succeeded and failed. It's everything
00:23:18in our lives. The land is our land,
00:23:22so why should the enemy take it? He has no right
00:23:25to. That's why all the martyrs
00:23:28died for this land to return to us.
00:23:53of the young men who had a great attachment to the land and the homeland,
00:23:56and he was one of the lovers of
00:24:00Imam Hussein, so he was greatly affected by the Karbala revolution,
00:24:03by Imam Hussein, by the martyrdom of Imam Hussein.
00:24:07So despite the fact that he was educated, when
00:24:12the village to be a martyr, he immediately
00:24:15was the first to say, "I am the first to be a martyr, I am the first
00:24:18to be a martyr." And he was, may God grant him success, it was
00:24:22his destiny to go out, and of course, as soon as I entered the house,
00:24:25the first thing that came to mind was Hamza.
00:24:28Hamza left his mark in every spot
00:24:32in the house, left a sweet memory.
00:24:35Our children, what drove them to go out
00:24:38and sacrifice their pure and innocent blood, their love for this
00:24:41land, their sincerity, their loyalty, their truthfulness. This
00:24:44land raised them, they grew up in it,
00:24:47they took root in it.
00:24:50Their families, their friends, they learned in it,
00:24:52they played together, they went out together.
00:24:55And of course, every time we go out and sit,
00:24:59we return, we return thanks to this pure,
00:25:02innocent blood, thanks to their blood, thanks to their sacrifices, thanks to
00:25:06their boundless generosity. Wars end
00:25:09when the cannons fall silent, but their true
