In interviews for *Al Mayadeen*'s correspondents, returning Lebanese
citizens expressed pride in their resilience, declaring, "We triumphed
through our determination, steadfastness, and Resistance."

They highlighted that while settlers have not returned to the northern
settlements, the people of the South, Bekaa, and Southern Suburb are now
making their way back. "The enemy bet on schism and civil war, but it has
failed," they added, referring to the unity exhibited by most of the
Lebanese people from all sects and factions by embracing the displaced.
Lebanese citizens vow to pass victory on to future generations

In interviews for *Al Mayadeen*, Lebanese citizens expressed unwavering
resolve and pride in their nation’s resilience. One group stated, "We will
continue on this path, and victory is inevitable," underscoring their
confidence in the future. Others paid tribute to the martyred Sayyed Hassan
Nasrallah, acknowledging that "were it not for you, we wouldn’t have
achieved victory," recognizing his leadership as central to their success.

Many also vowed to ensure that the legacy of their struggle endures,
declaring, "We will pass this victory on to our grandchildren,"
highlighting their commitment to preserving the triumph for future
generations.

Lebanese citizens told *Al Mayadeen*, "Today, we are celebrating a national
triumph," as they expressed pride in the collective achievement. They
emphasized that the victory was made possible "thanks to the brave men of
the Resistance," acknowledging the crucial role played by the Resistance
fighters in securing their victory.

In Ghazieh, southern Lebanon, scenes of displaced families returning to
their homes were captured.

*Al Mayadeen* also documented the return of residents as they passed
through the city of Saida in southern Lebanon.
