●Nasrallah to Lahad's men on the eve of the withdrawal: "in their homes and in their beds"

On the eve of the Israeli withdrawal, in a live call to al-Manar television, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned the men of the South Lebanon Army who refused to give themselves up that the resistance would pursue them "inside their homes and in their beds", calling on them to abandon Israel before it was too late; the speech spread panic through the strip, the positions collapsed within two days and thousands fled to Israel. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah then reassured those who gave themselves up that the party would treat them "as a father treats his son".
