Hassan Nasrallah, the organisation&#8217;s leader, plans to break his silence and speak about the conflict this afternoon for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>The theme park, which is located near the village of Mleeta in southern Lebanon, is known as the Tourist Landmark of Resistance. However, this park has no rides or any games for kids to play but instead has tanks, artillery shells, barbed wire, and assault rifles.<\/p>\n<p><b>Take a look inside the theme park in the pictures below.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/78\/940x\/secondary\/Tourist-Landmark-of-Resistance-lebanon-5049889.jpg?r=1699131751584\"><\/p>\n<p>An Israeli tank in the war museum operated by Hezbollah called the Tourist Landmark of the Resistance or Museum for Resistance tourism.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/78\/940x\/secondary\/tourist-landmark-resistance-lebanon-5049898.jpg?r=1699131751719\"><\/p>\n<p>The theme park cost a whopping \u00a33.2million to build.
