History of Islamic Resistance in Lebanon 1

Due to the inefficiency of the army and militias in Lebanon and the repeated oppression of Shiites, Imam Musa Sadr decided to establish a military structure in the 1970s. he said: “Defending the homeland is not only the duty and responsibility of the government, but all individuals have to defend their country, their land and their home, and if the government does not fulfill its responsibility, the responsibility of defense will not be removed from the nation.
