The Lebanese journalist emphasized that the release last week of a video of Hezbollah’s vast network of tunnels should not be taken lightly, and forces Tel Aviv to recognize the movement’s strategic capabilities.

Nasrallah also considered that the Imad-4 center, named after military commander Imad Mughniyeh, houses a fraction of Hezbollah’s advanced missile arsenal and contains important messages, not only for the current regional war centered on Gaza, but also for events spanning at least two and a half decades.

According to the expert, the revelation of the facility represents a serious blow to the Israeli media propaganda, which seeks to portray Hezbollah as a military force that hides behind civilians and stores its weapons in homes, schools, residential complexes and other infrastructure.

As explained by Nasrallah, one of the most critical objectives of this revelation is to challenge Israel’s false narrative that Hezbollah stores its weapons, particularly missiles, in civilian settlements.

In the analyst’s assessment, such unfounded comments are widely disseminated by Tel Aviv’s propaganda apparatus and repeated by detractors of the Lebanese Resistance, and constitute a cornerstone of Tel Aviv’s anti-resistance rhetoric, not only in Israeli circles but also among the Arab, Lebanese and international media.

The revelation of Imad-4 decisively contradicts this propaganda, whether from Israel or other media outlets, by demonstrating that the missile arsenal and weapons storage facilities are located far from civilian and residential areas.

The Lebanese analyst noted that the revelation thwarts any possible Israeli “preventive strike” against civilian areas in its attempt to present them as “missile storage facilities”, and demonstrates Hezbollah’s readiness for a confrontation if Israel decides to further escalate the conflict.
