BEYROUTH - Hezbollah chief sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is expected to give a speech tonight to commemorate the glorious victory of Lebanon and his party against Israel in the july 2006 war.
However, the sucess and prosperity of Hezbollah has slowly diminished over the years especially after the uprising in Syria, experts say.
The party is also in a difficult situation internally, after Lebanon's Special Tribunal issued arrest warrants against four of its members, accusing them of murdering Ex-PM Rafic Hariri in 2005.
The indictment fueled tensions between the two main rival parties of the country: Hezbollah and Future (Mr Hariri's party).
In his last speech, sayyed Nasrallah vowed he will do all that is in his power to prevent civil strife in the country. But he had warned last year that he would "cut the hands" of those who try to arrest any member of his party.
The Hariri clan, which has been waiting for over 6 years to find out who was behind the assassination of the decade, is not willing to abandon Justice, even for the sake of the nation's stability.
Western powers see it as a golden opportunity to eliminate the chiite party once and for all. After all, Syria is at its weakest at the present moment.
But there is, in fact, only one problem: Iran.
If Hezbollah is indeed fragile after a heavy internal coup suffered last month when Israeli agents were found to have infiltrated the internal organs of the party, this does not mean the chiite group is not capable of launching an all out war against its enemy with the help of Iran.
This would be very convenient for Damascus, but the scenario is unlikely at the moment.
As a matter of fact, Hezbollah is trying to take the upper hand within the Lebanese government and proove to the people that weapons is not all the party is about.
In the meantime, the party is crossing their fingers and relying on sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's charisma to maintain the strong image of the Resistance.
Meanwhile, the new Lebanese opposition is waiting to ambush this current Cabinet: Hariri will not and cannot forget the humiliation of being ousted the moment he met US president Barack Obama.
Lets hear what sayyed Nasrallah has to say tonight:
Things do not look good...
