The main idea of establishing an electronic website for Harouf town
began, when the professor of accounting and computer programming and
(html), in Jwayya University Institute of Technology, Dr. Hassan
Khamis, asked his students, including my daughter Fatimah, in the
first academic year of 2003, to design a website for their local
South towns, in the context of scientific research at the end of the
school year, so that the site contains an overview of the town, its
history, importance of its geography, and the most famous features
of each town, along with news, pictures, archaeological, tourist
sites, and all interested matters to the people of these towns like
to know about their towns, in particular the overseas emigrants in
the countries of the world.
The local website has been established, where it earned the
admiration and appreciation of the professor of the article, and she
got a high degree in the research. As a result, I have promised my
daughter Fatimah, that together we can develop the idea of this
research and turn it from a local website to a scientific electronic
fact through the international internet website.
Thus, the technical workshop was launched in all directions, with
assistance of the family and some town's activities. We published
the trial site in the first of August 2003, followed by one month
the publication of the basic web site,
www.harouf.com
in the first of September 2003. Since then, we are continuing the
development and tender day after day, to serve the dear sons of the
town within and outside Lebanon.
The site transferred all news of the town with its variety
and multiplicity, providing Lebanese emigrants and Haroufies in the
most important developments in the domestic area of the town and
transferring of new pictures, informing visitors about the
advantages of the town and its relevance at the local level in
particular.

strength and steadfastness in the face of the Zionist enemy, the
usurper of the land, property and natural resources of water, soil,
air and nature, in order to define peoples and nations of the world
the right and the legitimacy of Lebanon in the defense of this land
and humans, property and wealth, and to make them understand that
the Lebanese national resistance is the only way to restore the land
territories and the restoration of prisoners to their home to live
with dignity and freedom on the land of the dear homeland.
It's a real, inevitable and honest national resistance, like the
liberal revolutionary movements in the world that have contributed
to the liberation of their countries from the yoke of foreign
occupations have over the previous centuries.
