Paper: What’s the Strategic Significance of Lebanon’s Ali Taher Heights?

In today's wars, seizure of heights necessarily does not mean ultimately winning the conflict. But its significance becomes clear when the location is used to establish intelligence superiority, control military movement routes, and impose costs on the opposite side. Meanwhile, Ali Taher heights in southern Lebanon, which are a flash point these days, are more a broader geographical-military network than a single military target.

Full Text: Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky's Message to the Third International Conference of Media Narrators of the Ahlul Bayt (AS)

In a world where social media empowers every individual to be a broadcaster but also serves as a potent instrument of propaganda, the challenge of conveying truth is paramount. At this important conference on media, convened during the blessed month of Dhū l-Qaʿda, we recognize the tremendous effort required to counter negative narratives and disseminate accurate information. The Ahlul-Bayt (as) World Assembly News Agency (ABNA) and its initiatives like Al-Thaqalayn International TV are essential in this endeavor, providing a reliable voice for the teachings of Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them) amidst a sea of controlled and misleading information.

AhlulBayt News Agency: In Islamic society, the mosque is not merely a place for worship; rather, it is a social and cultural institution that plays a role in shaping collective identity, preserving religious values, and strengthening social cohesion.
