  • The resistance phase of inflicting pain
    How the Resistance's resolve hardens with every loss it suffers (Illustrated by Mahdi Rtail; Al Mayadeen English)

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon’s recent strikes have conveyed multiple messages to the Israeli occupation entity. While the Resistance is fully capable of targeting settlers, it chooses not to, maintaining a careful balance. It operates with patience and strategic foresight, responding according to its own timing rather than reacting impulsively to the enemy's provocations. The Resistance refuses to be drawn into actions dictated by the enemy, following a clear strategy based on careful evaluation of the situation.

The Resistance has proven that if the enemy’s aggressive actions continue, there will be no sense of security within its society. The entity that brings insecurity to the region through its attacks should be prepared to face insecurity when the Resistance decides to act. 

Netanyahu’s strategy appears to be hinged on gearing the settlers and military to realize this is an existential war that requires their perseverance in the face of it. What he doesn't realize is that the entity inherently wasn't created to bear this brunt. It is a society of luxury and not war.

Despite the lack of advanced aircraft or modern air force, the Resistance has developed drones capable of performing precise and difficult missions, compensating for the technological gap. The necessity of the battlefield has driven innovation, resulting in the development of tools perfectly suited to the Resistance’s defense.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the revolutionary who fought for the oppressed

The Israeli occupation entity's claims of inflicting significant damage on the Resistance by assassinating its leaders have been exposed as false. The entity fails to grasp the psychology of the Resistance—it only grows more determined under pressure, its resolve hardening with every loss it suffers.

The entity is exposed as it operates above the ground, with its facilities open to devastating strikes. In contrast, the Resistance operates as an underground force, with its assets difficult to detect. The impact on the entity's society, economy, and stability—especially its financial and investment sectors—far outweighs any damage it could hope to inflict on the Resistance's own infrastructure.

The Resistance's ability to target the heart of the entity, including critical areas like the capital and Gush Dan, would signal the collapse of the entity's capabilities. This is especially true following evacuations in the north and instability in the south. Each phase of the Resistance's strategy unfolds according to a carefully concealed plan. As Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stated: "You will see, not just hear." The stage of pain, as declared by Sheikh Naim Qassem, is imminent, with action speaking louder than words.

The entity has announced its goals in this war yet has failed to achieve any. Its aim to return settlers to the north remains unfulfilled, and even Netanyahu himself has been evacuated from his residence at the center of the entity. Lebanon signifies a repeat of the Israeli occupation entity’s failures in Gaza all over again, except worse. Netanyahu has managed to rally more support for the continuation of this war, due to setting larger goals. However, these goals are far from attainable. Setting larger goals and not meeting them causes more disintegration and weakness inside the occupation entity.

The actions of the Resistance, and not the falsehoods promoted by the entity and its allies, are what dictate the course of events and are the real substance. The Resistance will not be lured into traps. It possesses advanced weapons and capabilities the enemy does not even know about. The strategy of lost security is something the entity cannot endure, whereas the Resistance and its people are accustomed to living without security.

As former Israeli military intelligence chief Tamir Hayman recently stated, "We are on the brink of disaster and failure in the absence of thinking about ending the Lebanon war." The enemy's intelligence gaps prevent it from understanding the nature of the Resistance or the type and timing of the strike that awaits. The myth of the "strongest army" has been shattered, proving the entity's forces to be cowardly when truly tested.
