'Israel' incapable of eliminating Axis of Resistance: Foreign Affairs

The Foreign Affairs magazine notes that "Israel" is unable to eliminate the Axis of Resistance because of their flexibility and capacity to adapt.

The Foreign Affairs magazine reported that despite more than a year of Israeli efforts to dismantle the political, economic, military, and logistical infrastructure of the countries and groups within the Axis of Resistance, "Israel" has failed to achieve its objectives.

The magazine stated that while the intensity of "Israel's" attacks, backed by advanced technologies and a strategy of total war aimed at destroying neighborhoods and cities, could significantly shift the balance of power in the Middle East, "Israel's" military superiority—supported by the US, the UK, and Europe—likely won't be enough to eliminate the Axis of Resistance.

"Time and again the axis has demonstrated an adaptability and a resilience that attest to the deep connections its member groups maintain within their own states and societies," stated Foreign Affairs.

The magazine also noted that Hamas and Hezbollah are closely interconnected through political, economic, military, and ideological networks. These regional and global connections have enabled members of the Axis of Resistance to absorb various shocks, such as the US assassination of General Qassem Soleimani in 2020 and the economic hardships resulting from sanctions imposed by then-President Donald Trump.

It highlighted that "despite these challenges, axis members—and the axis as a whole—have drawn on support from their local states and communities and from one another to survive," adding that this adaptability and resilience suggest that "Israel" will find it increasingly difficult to eliminate the Resistance groups.

"The historical resilience of the Axis of Resistance suggests that Israel will find it difficult to eliminate groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah," Foreign Affairs maintained, adding that the Israeli strategy of total war may continue to deliver short-term tactical successes, but the Axis of Resistance is likely to rebuild and adapt at both the local and regional levels.

Hezbollah steadfast in operations

As the Israeli occupation continues to target civilian infrastructure, Hezbollah maintains its operations against the IOF, striking border settlements and extending its attacks deeper into the occupied territories.

The Operations Room of Hezbollah announced Tuesday that fighters continue to counter Israeli aggression on Lebanon, inflicting significant losses on the Israeli occupation forces personnel and equipment, including officers and soldiers, along the confrontation fronts from the forward positions in southern Lebanon to Israeli positions deep within occupied Palestine.

Due to the intense and concentrated strikes by the Resistance, Israeli forces withdrew from most of the southern Lebanese towns they had advanced into, retreating beyond the borders, the Operations Room confirmed, adding that the only remaining Israeli presence is the 146th Brigade's deployment in the Labouneh woods and east of Naqoura, which the brigade seeks to control by advancing toward Wadi Hamoul from the eastern side of Naqoura.

In the border towns of the western sector, no infiltration or advancement attempts have been reported since October 28, 2024, the statement highlighted.

It added that Israeli occupation forces have limited themselves to repeated sweeps from border positions over the areas they withdrew from, accompanied by artillery fire and airstrikes targeting the second-line towns of Tayr Harfa, al-Btaichiye, al-Jibbain, Chihine, and Siddiqin, among others.
