In Imad 5, Nasrallah is also alive but only in terms of his legacy and his words, as his thundering voice is heard in the background.

The first scene started with the reeving of two motorcycles’ engines. One spins in a theatrical scene before two Hezbollah fighters are shown on their way to some unclear destination. 

This was the start of the latest Hezbollah video, entitled ‘We Will Not Leave the Arena, We Will Not Drop Our Weapons’.

Based on the text accompanying the video, we already know that the recent footage is a review of ‘Imad 5’, Hezbollah’s fortified underground facilities. 

On August 16, the Lebanese Resistance had already shown a different kind of facility named Imad 4, ‘Imad’ here being a reference to Imad Mughniyeh.

Mughniyeh, whose nom de guerre was Al-Hajj Radwan, was one of the main founders of Hezbollah in the 1980s, believed to be the movement’s chief of staff.

When that initial video was revealed, the Palestine Chronicle suggested that the reference to Imad 4 indicated that there are other facilities with similar names and possibly higher numbers. 

Imad 5 has demonstrated the accuracy of that analysis. 

But what is different between the latest release and the previous one?

When Imad 4 was revealed, Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s iconic Secretary-General, was still alive. 

In Imad 5, Nasrallah is also alive but only in terms of his legacy and his words, as his thundering voice is heard in the background. “We are here, we will not leave, we are not afraid, we will not surrender, we will not abandon the battlefield, and we will not drop our weapons,” he says. 

A dark tunnel shows one well-equipped Hezbollah fighter after the other as they pass by a sign fastened beneath a pipe on the jagged walls of the tunnel. 

The sign reads: ‘Imad 5 Facility’.

A large poster of Hassan Nasrallah, with a solemn look on his face, looks down at the fighters. His hands are clasped in front of him. He seemed at peace. Confident. 

Quickly, the viewer begins to develop a sense of the mission at hand as the fighters approach an advanced missile system. The rest becomes obvious. 

A tunnel opening is revealed, and the missiles are placed in position, directed towards the sky. Slowly they emerge into the open, while Nasrallah’s voice continues to thunder, as the two main points in Nasrallah’s speech are highlighted in yellow and red, the colors of Hezbollah’s famous logo. “We will not abandon the battlefield, we will not drop our weapons,” he says.

One final thing worth mentioning is that the trees above seem to be intact. These missiles have not been fired before. At least, not yet.

Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah. 

The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
