On August 23, 2022, Al-Manar TV (Hizbullah-Lebanon) aired a "message" to Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah from the sons of Hizbullah "mujahideen". The young men, whose faces are blurred in the video, are seen standing in formation, wearing military fatigues, and holding rifles and Hizbullah flags. One of the young men read the message to Nasrallah, saying that the men are the soldiers and followers of the Rule of the Jurisprudent of slain Shiite Lebanese leader Ragheb Harb, of Hizbullah founder Abbas Musawi, and of former Hizbullah military leader Imad Mughniyeh. He said that they will surprise the enemy on land, at sea, and in the air, and that they will be wherever they are needed, including in the Galilee and "beyond." In addition, he prayed to Allah, asking "to be the ones at whose hands the Manifest Victory will be accomplished – the liberation of our holy places in occupied Palestine."

Narrator: "Our beloved leader, guide, and father, the Secretary-General of Hizbullah, Hassan Nasrallah, may Allah protect him. In the name of the sons of the mujahideen in Hizbullah, we send our greetings to you.

[...]

"Stemming from our upbringing in the homes of our mujahideen fathers, we send to you — our leader — our message, which has been written in the training camps — where we chose to stay, as part of our loyalty to the course of resistance."

[...]

Teen boy: "Despite the vicious cultural campaigns that our enemies wage against our young generations in order to divert our minds towards deviancy and moral decay, our religious commitment to the rules of Islam will remain the essence of our affiliation and our true identity. We will uphold our prayers, as we have learnt from the Master of Martyrs [Imam Hussein] at Karbala."

[...]

Narrator: "We are the soldiers of the Rule [of the Jurisprudent] who learned the path of Imam Khomeini — who had woken the Islamic nation from its slumber, and who had the merit of establishing our jihadi path.

"We are the soldiers of the Leader Sayyed [Khamenei]. We pledged a true oath of allegiance and loyalty to him, to have him as a model for imitation, to obey and to love him. We love him as much as you love him, oh dear guide.

"We are the guardians of the blood of the martyred leaders. We are as determined and steadfast as [slain Shi'ite Lebanese leader] Ragheb Harb. We are the bearers of [Hizbullah founder] Sayyed Abbas [Musawi's] will. We are the men of [former Hizbullah military leader] Imad Mughniyeh. We are loyal to the oath of the wounded, the prisoners, and the mujahideen who sacrificed.

"Oh, Leader of the Era of Victories, we will strive to advance our resistance. We will acquire knowledge and expertise. We will surprise our enemy on land, at sea, and in the air. We will be wherever we will have to be — in the Galilee, beyond the Galilee, and what is beyond that.

"Our dear Secretary-General, we are the generation that was born at the time of the Divine Victory [i.e. the 2006 Lebanon-Israel war]. We ask Allah to be the ones at whose hands the Manifest Victory will be accomplished — the liberation of our holy places in occupied Palestine."

[...]

Commander: "We are loyal to the oath!"

Teens: "Oh Nasrallah!"
