The Tourist Landmark of the Resistance, also known as Museum for Resistance Tourism or Mleeta Museum, is a war museum operated by Hezbollah 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 Museum describes the relationship between Hezbollah fighters and their relationship to the environment around them. The site was once an important base for launching various jihadi operations inside the occupied security zone. The Mleeta Museum is an interactive terrestrial museum that identifies the experience of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon and documents the history of Israeli occupation in Beirut, beginning in 1982.
