Israel launched a heavy attack over Southern Lebanon in Summer 2006 in a bid to undermine Hezbollah's military power but it failed to materialize the plot after the Lebanese pushed the Israelis back to the borders.
Addressing a parliament session here in Tehran on Monday, Larijani felicitated Lebanon on the anniversary of the victory, and stated, "On this day in 2006, the Zionist regime accepted a scandalous defeat after 33 days of war and became a political corpse in the Middle-East. The day is correctly named as the Day of Islamic Resistance."
Larijani said Israel's defeat in the 33-day war caused many problems for that regime and damaged its reputation internationally.
"That's why they waged a 22-day war (in Gaza Strip) is a bid to get rid of the internal and international stalemate."
He pointed to the US-Israeli plots against Syria and Iran after the overthrow of the US puppet regimes in the region, and noted that these naïve plots are aimed at taking the revenge for their failure in the 33-day war from Syria under the excuse of democracy.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
In October 2011, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of increasing unrests in Syria.
In June, US daily The New York Time reported that the CIA agents have been deployed to Turkey to organize the arming of the so-called rebels in Syria seeking the overthrow of the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
The report, citing information provided by senior US officials as well as Arab intelligence officers, states that the CIA operatives are directing a massive smuggling operation through which "automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and some antitank weapons, are being funneled mostly across the Turkish border by way of a shadowy network of intermediaries, and paid for by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
