The Tourist Landmark of the Resistance, also known as Museum for Resistance Tourism, is a war museum near the village of Mleeta in southern Lebanon. The museum opened on May 25, 2010, marking the 10th anniversary of the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000. The site was once an important base for Hezbollah fighters.
Tours are led by guides who begin by welcoming tourists. Then visitors can walk along a 100-meter-long sunken pathway cut into the rock leading to a lookout once used by Hezbollah fighters. Children can play at pretending to aim anti-aircraft guns by raising and lowering them or clamber on overturned armoured personnel carriers. Among the attractions is a Hezbollah bunker and a tunnel 200 meters long. This was in use during the 2006 war. The bunker contains cots, kitchenware, electrical generators and other equipment including an office equipped with telephones, radios and computers offering visitors a view into the life of Hezbollah fighters. The park features a garden decorated with guns and missiles, called Martyrs Hill and stone steps climb up to an esplanade dedicated to the organization’s martyrs who have died as shahid fighting against Israel.
