The restoration after the year 1996 aggression: the so-called war of «Grapes of Wrath»
In April 1996, the nature endows an abundant spring on the slopes of the south and the Bekaa, and inhabitants were deploring in their fields, in order to cultivate the land, and in the horizon there was a hope for a shiny tomorrow, and the victory is coming, and the boys in their neighbourhoods playing soccer, the girls singing with the birds the morning April Songs, on this day the Zionist enemy surprised the people, boys and girls, with a huge shells of bombing and aversion of his plot, and in tons of explosive rockets, which cut the nation apart, turning the dreamy bodies into pieces.
This enemy who attacked a bus full of children in Nabatiyeh, and did not forgot attacking the ambulance of life in Mansoury, it has attacked with his full capacity destroying everything he has from shells and missiles targeting the ground all parts in Lebanon, roads, bridges, water systems, electricity, telephone, and the list goes on.

Lebanon has lived through the attack of April, a harsh and hot day, because of lack of water and electricity, almost like the hot of July and August which we received their flames ten years after.
Sixteen days, and Lebanon bears the balls of fire, and the martyrs were registered in a long list, and the wounded in big lines to hospitals and the population were displaced from their homes, waiting for the victory sign to return to their villages.

After the defeat of the enemy, and endorsing the right of the Resistance to defend Lebanon, and the right of the Resistance to respond to any aggression, this recognition which the Resistance grabbed by force from the enemy, that was considered an emblem of a firm declare victory.
The people returned to their homes, and the destruction has changed the features of their villages, and the dust of the universe gathered above them, the population woke up on the twenty-eighth of April, 1996, at the very end of the aggression, only to find that more than 120 villages have been completely destroyed, and more than 5500 building was demolished, as well as dozens of mosques, churches and schools, as for the agricultural losses were unable to be counted by the people...

In front of this reality, where the rubble of destruction and dismemberment of the roads, the Organization of Jihad Al-Binaa initiated to fight the odds, setting operational plans in order to intervene immediately through the mobilization of all its subsidiaries. In order to alleviate the tragic situation of the compressor to the displaced initiating several actions:

When His Eminence the Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah called on April 28, 1996, to initiate the reconstruction procedure of all that was destroyed by Israeli machines of destruction, the Organization of Jihad al-Binaa initiated to implement the project of reconstruction and restoration, in order to expedite a dignified and decent return for the displaced which will have a similar value of the dignify victory achieved by the Mujahedeen Resistance fighters.

This initiated operation of reconstruction and repairs was a major challenge for the Organization, given the size of the massive destruction, which is unparalleled up to that time. We established and administrative technical committee that consist of 130 engineers and administrators, who carried out the initial survey for each of the devastated areas, where we did find that 120 villages and towns in the south and the Bekaa have been completely destroyed.
In order to beneficiate from the time, and accelerate the return of devastated population to resume their normal life, the Organization of the restoration project divided the affected areas according to geographic zones, were: Beirut, the Bekaa, Bent Jbeil, Tyre, Nabatiyeh.
