Where Are the Muslim Brotherhood of Lebanon Amidst the Ongoing War?


Despite announcing their participation in resisting the Israeli aggression against Lebanon, the Muslim Brotherhood has not reported any significant military activities in the ongoing operations, nor any media participation regarding events in Lebanon. This has raised many internal questions, prompting the Islamic movement to issue a statement that did not mention anything about its participation in the war.

The (Islamic Group) in Lebanon condemned the Israeli massacres against Lebanon and called on the world to put an end to them, while urging the Lebanese people to show national solidarity to confront the aggression.

In a press statement reported by (Quds Press), the group stated: “We strongly condemn the criminal Israeli aggression against Lebanon and emphasize the importance of national solidarity to respond to the aggression at this critical moment our country is going through, calling for mercy for the martyrs and a speedy recovery for the injured.”

They praised “the efforts made by all Lebanese to host families displaced from the areas of aggression, and the government’s efforts in this regard,” urging it “to double its efforts to shelter our displaced people, secure their needs, and support the initiatives of charitable organizations.” They also expressed “thanks to our Arab brothers and friends of Lebanon who issued instructions for humanitarian aid to the Lebanese” and called on them to “intensify diplomatic efforts to stop the Israeli aggression.”

They stressed “the necessity of hastening the election of a president capable of uniting the Lebanese people, activating Lebanon’s Arab and international relations, and reconstructing constitutional institutions, so that we, as Lebanese, can better confront the aggression, armed with national unity.” They also called on “all political forces in this difficult time to freeze their differences and work towards agreements that facilitate this path.”

It is noteworthy that the Israeli army released footage last month documenting an airstrike targeting a vehicle carrying the leader of the (Islamic Group) in Lebanon, Mosab Khalaf, in the Ma’idoun area of Lebanon.

It is worth mentioning that the “Fajr Forces” are among the prominent Lebanese forces that announced their participation in the war against Israel on the Lebanese front. They represent the military wing of the Islamic Group (Muslim Brotherhood) and began announcing the launching of rockets at northern Israel since October 18.

The involvement of the “Fajr Forces” in military operations is related to the background of their political leadership, which was elected in the summer of 2022, and which is organically linked to Hamas and Hezbollah.

Since September 23, the occupying forces have been conducting extensive air aggression against Lebanon, which has thus far resulted in the martyrdom of approximately 1,200 individuals, injured more than 3,000 others, and displaced 1.2 million people within Lebanon and towards Syria.

In contrast, the sound of alarm sirens continues following the launch by Hezbollah and Palestinian factions of hundreds of rockets at military sites and settlements in the occupied Palestinian cities and towns, amidst strict censorship by the occupation on human and material losses.
