"Israel" coping with the loss of October 7 already put it in a position to not only fail to come up to level with the resistance but throughout the duration of the Al-Aqsa flood, unable to reign itself in from the irreversible loss of military and intelligence capability lost to Hamas’s surprise operation. 

As Israel curls back from the weight and pressure of Palestinian resistance in Gaza, taking the hit from additional blows in the Red Sea from the Ansarallah, it has also continued in its aggression on Lebanon. Since October 8, Hezbollah has engaged against "Israel" in a limited engagement battle against "Israel’s" military bases. In a matter of days, Hezbollah fighters decommissioned Israeli surveillance and security equipment -170 cameras worth to date -  along the southernmost border of Lebanon. 

On November 3rd, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech that "Israel" often sets high goals only to fail to achieve any of them. At the start of Al-Aqsa flood, where the Zionist entity was already put into a defensive position - the occupation’s military leaders vowed to flatten all of Gaza and “destroy Hamas” as its main objective, as well as return all Israeli hostages held by the Palestinian resistance group with no negotiations considered. 

The freeing of 150 Palestinians mainly women and children - demonstrates the ability of a besieged resistance group with no formal army, no armored vehicles or tanks (yet plenty of strength in destroying those from the Israelis) to force "Israel" to release Palestinians by the hundreds. At the same time, the Israeli public will continue to rage over Israeli PM Netanyahu’s inability to deliver on claims and demands to free all post-October 7 hostages without negotiations. Without retrieving any of their hostages on their own, having refused Hamas’s offers to release hostages voluntarily and killing more captives under indiscriminate Israeli bombardment, the Zionist entity now is releasing from their dungeons 150 Palestinian women and children (out of 8,300 Palestinian captives in Israeli jails) in exchange for 50 Israeli hostages. 

The occupying entity, once governed by the Hannibal directive, opting for prospective captives to be killed rather than taken hostage, now had to kneel and give up concessions nullifying the very bombastic tactics that were at the helm of its military. Not only did it fall very short of its claims to free all hostages - but it has agreed to a 3 Palestinian prisoner to 1 hostage settler ratio under the Palestinian resistances terms.

Manufacturing civil war: The Zionist doctrine to destroy resistance

This comes as "Israel" fails to secure or accomplish one military objective in its siege, resorting to declaring victory over besieged civilian hospitals, carpet bombing civilians, and killing more of its own captives than it has been able to retrieve in its humiliating “ground operation.”

On more than one occasion, "Israel" even lied about freeing hostages, claiming, for example, female soldier Ori Megidish was freed in a ground operation on October 31st after alleged October 7 capture, when it turned out she was just separated from her unit just a few days before she was found and falsely claimed to have been freed by the occupying army in Gaza.

"Israel’s" perpetration of wide-scale civilian genocide in Gaza, intended as a form of leverage against the resistance, a form of collective punishment on the Gazan people, and a brutal, criminal tactic carried out in hopes of driving a wedge between the Resistance and their people - utterly failed. Each act of brutality, wide-scale bombing, and inhumane acts of genocide "Israel" commits only strengthens the Palestinian people’s resolve towards resistance and rejection of normalization and two-state solution propositions. A recent poll by a West Bank polling firm confirmed nearly 80 percent of Palestinians was in favor of a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea,” rejecting the two-state solution and any Western-crafted vision of “solution” that would be a disgrace to a people who have had personal or familial experiences with "Israel’s" systematic war crimes, imprisonment, torture, and forced expulsion. 

With Palestinians more likely than ever to reject the normalization of the occupier in any form, even the US administration’s reaction to the equation set by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza highlights a forced conciliatory tone. Biden’s address at the G7 summit on October 25 shows a US position that went from the Abraham Accords and the Deal of the Century - to settling for coming to terms with enforcing no reoccupation of Gaza, forced displacement of Gaza, or seiging it (despite funding and bankrolling the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza).

Since October 8, Hezbollah has waged a battle of attrition against the Zionist entity in the north, resistance groups in Iraq and Syria have been striking US illegal bases in their respective countries nonstop, and the Ansarallah effectively put Israel’s access to the Red Sea out of service - through their heroic capturing of the Galaxy ship owned by Israeli oligarch Ungar. The Lebanese and Iraqi resistances will join the ceasefire, despite their participation not being part of the original deal’s terms, marking their achieved spots along the escalation latter - with the US significantly damaged by around 70 rocket attacks on its illegal bases. It didn’t take too long for Israel to essentially become blinded on its northern front as well as from Gaza after Hezbollah added insult to injury and blinded them from the North, as the Occupying forces made their signature desperate concealment of their military death count - estimated at over 360 at the very least.

The 4-day ceasefire, a completely insufficient humanitarian result in itself - was nonetheless a political victory forced upon Israel after days, if not weeks, of rejecting negotiations and stalling.  Even if Hamas attacks cease, that doesn’t stop the aggressive attrition of other regional resistance axis fighters working within their capacity in coordination with the resistance coming out of Gaza. 

An end to the aggression on Gaza is the ultimate goal, especially for the sake of the besieged Palestinian people in the enclave, facing one of the most brutal, genocidal sieges whose death toll, passing the tens of thousands, grows obsolete by the minute. An end to the occupation is the ultimate objective, with a liberated Palestine free from occupation, yet the path to victory is paved with growing political as well as military power from a people deprived of an army. Yet with Hamas and the Palestinian resistance demonstrating it gaining the upper hand in political and negotiation matters alongside military battles, it is not far in the horizon for an extension of the ceasefire to take place. While the occupying entity has tried to campaign the Palestinian resistance as ISIS, “israel” revealed itself as the lawless rogue mass murderer and terrorist it is. The Resistance cornered the Zionist entity into concessions, winning the upper hand in negotiating power as well as on the battlefield and growing its political power right out of the barrel of its relentless gun.
