Why it matters:
The Imam al-Mahdi Scouts (Kashafa Imam Mahdi) operates under the direct supervision of Hezbollah's cultural institution and has an active presence in various regions of Lebanon, particularly in the South and the Southern Suburbs of Beirut.
One of the main goals of the group is to familiarize children and adolescents (6-18 yo) with cultural and religious concepts. Amid the Zionist regime’s efforts to spread Zionism among children and youth, this group plays a crucial role in transmitting the concept of Resistance to the next generations. It currently boasts over 100,000 members.
The group's importance even got bolder amid ongoing regional tensions.
What he's saying:
Hezbollah’s Secretary-General underscored the movement’s significance, declaring: “With your presence, we will confront challenges with utmost dedication and sacrifice, and by the will of Almighty God, our flag will remain flying high."
He also highlighted the group's importance by mentioning their role in the freedom of Palestine and Quds.
He said: "With you, the usurper Israel and the arrogant America will never be able to defeat us, because the soil of Lebanon has been watered by the blood of the martyrs, so that we may live, remain, and continue our lives in our homeland, Lebanon, independently, freely, and proudly."
Sheikh Naim Qassem concluded: "Kashafa Imam Mahdi is a guiding light for the young generation toward a high moral and educational model, and with your support, we will remain victorious until a peace that guarantees the freedom of people and land prevails."
