Today, it is evident that a handful of Israeli officials are claiming that war objectives in Gaza are being achieved, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing out as the main proponent of the "overwhelming decisive victory" slogan.
After more than 200 days since launching the war on the Strip, "Israel" has yet to bring back its captives, defeat the Resistance, reduce its influence, or effectively harm its capabilities, let alone "eliminate it," as top Israeli officials declared as one of the war's goals, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said in a Wednesday report.

Meanwhile, the dire Israeli situation on the northern front with Hezbollah has left tens of thousands of Israelis unable to return to their residences, and the Lebanese Resistance continues its daily operation against military bases and sites in an "endless escalation," the outlet added.
It also noted that, at the political level, there has been no breakthrough in communications between the United States, France, the Lebanese government, and Hezbollah, as the security and military establishments believe that a ceasefire in Gaza alone would halt the firing in the north.
Selling lies
In Gaza, the Ministry of Health stated Tuesday that the number of Palestinians killed as a result of the ongoing Israeli war has risen to 34,183 and those injured to 77,143.
Al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson Abu Obeida said on Tuesday that the Israeli occupation has proven impotent as it proved unsuccessful in making any advances in Gaza 200 days into its ruthless onslaught, as it only commits massacres and destroys civilian infrastructure.
"200 days later, and the Resistance is still unwavering. It will continue to deal blows to the occupation so long as its aggression continues and so long as it continues to exist on Palestinian land," he said, adding that "the Resistance's operations ... Will take new forms and adapt with new, adequate tactics."

"Israel" is still trying to restore its image that was tarnished on October 7 in the al-Aqsa Flood operation, Abu Obeida pointed out. "They aim to link their victory to invading Rafah, and it tries to sell the lie that it defeated all Resistance factions except for the Rafah Battalion."
Regarding the captives, he addressed the Israeli settlers saying that the ball was in the court of the Israeli entity, "but the window of time is very narrow, and they have very limited opportunities."
"The occupation's policy of exerting military pressure will not push the Resistance but to adhere to its position and safeguard the rights of the people," he concluded.
