As a child, he got ice cream sticks and formed a little wooden aircraft that he threw at the Israeli settlements, and later he became an actual resistance fighter who fired missiles at the occupation’s settlements.

Martyr Moussa Amin Marji

Moussa Amin Marji was born on the 20th of December, 1979, in the Southern village of Blida that was occupied by the Israeli enemy.

He lived in a financially poor, yet faithful family that used to work in farming.

Moussa was treated in a special way among his family members because of his smart, dynamic, and rational character; in addition, he used to spend his time making his own toys.

He lived under the Zionist occupation, and witnessed the oppressive practices of the enemy and its “South Lebanon Army” -headed by chief collaborator Antoine Lahad- agents in his village, that also targeted his family.

When Moussa used to hear the sound of the Israeli bombardment, he used to hide in one of the house’s corners, get ice cream sticks, and form a little wooden aircraft that he later throws at the Israeli settlements. This is how he expressed his rejection and resentment as a child, and this is what affected him, to later become an actual resistance fighter who fires missiles at the occupation’s settlements.

He finished the intermediate level in the government school in his village, but due to his parent’s fear from compulsory military service in the SLA army, they sent him to Beirut where he lived with his brothers, and studied aluminum crafting and worked in it.

Moussa loved his family and was compassionate to them. He was the shelter of every family member because of his flexibility, tolerance, good manners, and good-humor, in addition to his care to listen to other people’s problems. He used to initiate in offering any assistance, and had a good persuasive style.

The martyr committed himself to the religious duties since he was young.

He got introduced to Jihad by some friends he met at work, and so he joined the Islamic Resistance with complete secrecy.

He went through various educational and military courses that qualified him to engage in direct confrontations with the enemy.

In the battlefield:

While executing a surveillance mission in Al-Tiri village in South Lebanon, he was confronted by Zionist soldiers. He engaged in fierce clashes with them, which led to his injury and instant martyrdom on the 17th of July, 2006.

Martyr Moussa’s body was transferred to Sheikh Ragheb Harb’s hospital and later to his hometown Blida.

During the war, he was received by his friends and relatives in his hometown, despite the Israeli presence in the neighboring villages, and then buried on the 20th of July, 2006.
