| 22/05/2008 LAHD COLLABORATORS HUMILATED AT FATIMA GATE
On the 22nd of May 2000 southern villagers in the middle sector remained vigilant after news of destroying the fortified garrison of Taybe the previous day circulated. Hours later, residents of neighboring southern villages, namely Houla, Tallousa, Markaba, Mays el-Jabal and other towns, found themselves before two possibilities: First, resistance fighters and villagers attempt to force their way into the village; something that neither the Israelis nor their collaborators would allow, given the location of these villages near the border with occupied Palestine. Second, the liberation spree stops in Taybe and the rest of the villages would become part of a reduced security zone under the mercy of the Lahd collaborators until further notice.
The villagers were not alone weighing their decisions.
Collaborators were panicked by the scene of the Taybe garrison immense explosion and Hezbollah's yellow flags flattering near its ruins, at a time Israeli soldiers were fleeing under the cover of night.
Every collaborator took his own decision to evacuate his garrison the next day and surrender to the resistance. The next morning, the Lahd militia was falling apart at a fast pace. The fast steep slump of the Lahd militia astonished its top officers. Panic-stricken collaborators sought refuge behind Lebanon's border with occupied Palestine hoping the Israelis will acknowledge 25 year of SLA's loyal service against its own people.
To the collaborators' surprise, Israel refuses to allow them into occupied Palestine.
Humiliated as never before, SLA collaborators were begging Israeli soldiers to let them cross the Fatima Gate, but in vain. "Israel betrayed us. The IDF and SLA were one... and we thought it was possible to befriend Israel. We helped them in our land. For twenty-five years we were with Israel." The nephew of ‘Akl Hashim, himself an SLA collaborator, shrieked. "We ate together, we fought together, we went to funerals together. We were your allies," he continued.
How fast the peaceful march expanded to reach the towns in the middle sector and at the entrance of Odaiseh, panicked collaborators shot one resident as he was opening the way for the conquerors.
Cars waiting in the western sector were instructed to enter the middle sector and announce the liberation of the villages of Beit Hanoun, Kounin, Rshaf and Blat. In the midst of celebrations, the Islamic resistance announced the martyrdom of seven of its fighters who fell while securing residents into their towns after 20 years of coercive separation.
The next few days will undoubtedly be decisive.
