Introduction:
The people of this world all agree on that what is built in years near few minutes to be destroyed, and what is destroyed needs ages to be rebuilt; and this was adopted as an example to follow.
There was one association that broke this saying, and it walked in the opposite path; so in their culture they were builders, and as they were in their spirits victorious: they are the engineers and members of Jihad al-Binaa.

The talks of destruction, and the need for ages to be reconstructed has gone and disappeared starting August 14, 2006. This was the date that installed in a story of civilization unforgettable images; where they embraced hardship, and confronted challenges with high determinations, no less than the Soldiers of Allah, who have stood steadfast, and were able in 33 days, to defeat the Zionists. These soldiers won the second battle of parties (Ahzab), as did Prophet Mohammad and Imam in the first battle.
Rare it is to find men like the builders of Jihad al-Binaa; they were the men to carry under their arms challenges since the establishment of the association. They used to build what was destructed by the enemy, and usually they used to remove all traces of aggression despite the ongoing fire and airstrike.
At a first glance, it might appear that they are building the wall which the demolishing dust is still emitting from it. They reconstruct and rebuild before the war is over, and before the cannon cools down. They became a motto for the free people of the world, and they became a terrifying example for the enemy; and due to their grudge, envy and fear, they added them to their so-called terrorism list.

Jihad al-Binaa recorded a new school and unique methodology for humanity, and compared to all experiences of nations, there wouldn’t find any similar one; this experience was able to control the intellectual and subconscious attention of the people far away before the people living around.
In New Orleans, US, an earthquake occurred, and so houses and shops were destroyed as a result. Construction seemed to be impossible in that area then, and US studies remained confused for over two years, to find plans through which they can reconstruct and remove all rubbles. In Lebanon, where the dust was removed off thousands of demolished houses, and tens of thousands of houses that need to be reconstructed, in addition to the bridges and public roads and trees… were demolished by "Israeli" smart and fool missiles. It had to exploit its strategic weaponry storage, and it opened its aerial and naval bridges for all those willing to support it… near and far.

The aggression therefore affected the livelihood aspects in Lebanon, and most of them places with pro-resistance approaches, mainly targeting the resistance and the ability of the area's nation, where it is embraced; in the south, Bekaa, and the southern suburb. The different economic sectors were affects totally or partially, whether the industry, agriculture, trade, and tourism. Targeting the factories and power plants was clear, even those far from the battle field, in order to harm as much as possible the economy in Lebanon, and especially in the resistance environment.

This aggression sought to change the demographic geography in Lebanon, and to crush all resistance-embracing opposition sectors, through collaborating with internal parties who used to take advantage of the country and dominate it.

This aggression and destruction caused the total destruction of more than 19918 housing units, while 121300 were partially destroyed, and 114000 others need reconstruction. Places of religion, schools, medical centers, bridges, and roads were also destroyed.
Moreover, the agricultural associations, and those responsible for the animal resources, industrial, commercial, and political organizations were victims, in addition to the various transportation means like cars and trucks… etc.

On another hand, while the resistance fighters are still outside their den protecting it, and while the immigrants haven’t return to their homes yet, and international resolutions were being harshly targeted; all this did not limit the determination of Jihad al-Binaa, who put on their hats, and were viral to start a new era of building and reconstruction.

In Lebanon, the culture of weakness controlled the power, until the politicians of Lebanon were known for their commitments; indicating that "Lebanon's power lies in its weakness".
However, after mid-August 2006, together with the July happenings, there came a new strange notion for the politicians, yet associated to the Mujahedeen, which states that "the eye can resist the drill", and the tough arms can rebuild all what the enemy has destroyed, as long as the determination is high, and the path is ongoing.

The aforementioned is not a slogan to be chanted, but it is the hard way chosen by the resistance and martyrs, and Jihad al-Binaa bonds, who presented tens of martyrs from its engineers and workers. This is how they built their life, and lasted in its after.

Vision:
Jihad al-Binaa (the Jihad of Building) association was launched some twenty years ago, in the womb of suffering, where the good livelihood elements were not found, due to the Zionist enemy occupation of Palestine, the deliberate Lebanese government negligence, and the constant "Israeli" violation.
Afterwards, the direct occupation came in 1982, and here the association was launched, aiming at keeping the people in their lands, and not giving the enemy the opportunity to invest in the negative repercussion of the repetitive aggressions.
Although there was diversity in the association's work, on the level of development, which mainly was afflicted with the priorities and needs of the targeted areas in different historical periods, the goal was to keep the people in their lands though the reconstruction and sheltering program which always comes as the first priority.

The July 2006 war was not a hardship on the people and trees only, but it also harmed the stones and rocks. The systematic and focused destructing policy on residential areas, the infrastructure and economic organization, adopted by the "Israeli" army machine, mainly sought to switch the Lebanese public opinion against the resistance, especially the latter's nation which has embraced it for over the years. The enemy through it can achieve that by destroying the work of the people's lifetime.
Therefore, the aim from this is to understand what context pushed Jihad al-Binaa into interfering, because it believes that the resistance's victory is not complete but through another kind of Jihad, which it absorbing the repercussions of aggression, guaranteeing the return of the people to their houses and towns, and restoring the circle of life.

Thus, since its establishment in 1988, Jihad al-Binaa association has faced the challenge of reconstruction, many times, the top of which was the "Israeli" aggression in July 1993. Although the association was still in baby steps, it was able to succeed the hard test, which it also succeeded after the "Israeli" aggression in April 1996. However, the size of destruction in the July 2006 aggression was harsh and unprecedented, for it spread over the repercussions of the 1993 and 1996 wars combined.

The Beginning of the Path:
Due to the major repercussion of the Zionist aggression on Lebanon in 19982, and the negative effects of the internal war, deprivation reached the Lebanese areas which has been historically neglected, especially in the Bekaa, south, and north, which now lack the bare necessities of life…
There must have been a step to face all forms of poverty and deprivation, in order to reduce the risks of accumulated poverty and destitution effects. So, this step came parallel to the great step and glorious and honorable stance with the Islamic Resistance fighters against the enemy, in order to combine both stances and confronts; and the motto became a fact: Together we Resist, Together we Build.
 

In these difficult circumstances, Jihad al-Binaa development association was born, and it is committed to development work in various fields, and it vows to remove all the effects of aggression on Lebanon, whatever the size was; and experience stands as the best proof.
