Since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, factions of the Axis of Resistance have vowed not to remain silent about Israeli massacres against Gazans.

The Palestinian Resistance continues to launch rocket salvos toward occupied Palestinian cities and illegal Israeli settlements and showcase its field achievements gradually over the past two weeks as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

In the latest developments, the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip launched an intensified rocket barrage toward Gaza Envelope settlements in response to the ongoing Israeli crimes against civilians in the Strip. Palestinian media reported that sirens sounded in illegal Israeli settlements near Rafah in the south.

Earlier on Friday, al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, targeted the occupied city of Asdod along with the "Sderot" settlement, as well as Israeli forces' gatherings near "Mavki'im" with rocket salvos.

The Brigades released footage of its Resistance fighters targeting a Merkava 4 tank east of Khan Yunis with an anti-tank rocket.

Al-Quds Brigades also announced that its fighters targeted the occupied city of Askalan and "Sderot" with rocket salvos, in addition to targeting Israeli military concentrations in "Mefalsim".

Lebanon

In the same context, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah continues to pursue its operations that began on October 8, causing unprecedented losses for the Israeli occupation military on the northern front since the July 2006 war.

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, Hezbollah's recent operation against the Israeli occupation on the Lebanese border was the most intense since the start of the skirmishes, where the Lebanese Resistance targeted an Israeli infantry unit near the "Branit" barracks with rockets, causing confirmed injuries. Three Israeli occupation soldiers were killed while four others were injured in the operation, sources told Al Mayadeen.

An Israeli foot patrol also came under fire from Resistance fighters near the "Natuah" site, with direct injuries reported.

Citing Israeli military data, Israeli media highlighted that the occupation's losses on the northern front until October 19 amounted to 10 Merkava tanks from generations 3 and 4, which were damaged or destroyed by anti-tank guided rockets, as well as four different infantry transport vehicles destroyed.

The media described the military escalation on the northern front as a "real war," pointing out that Hezbollah does not only deter "Israel" in the north but also deters it from taking decisive action in Gaza.

Iraq

On its part, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted on Friday US forces in the Harir base in the Iraqi Kurdistan region with two drones, marking the third attack against US forces in the country within a few days. The resistance also claimed responsibility for targeting the Ain al-Assad base with rockets on Thursday.

The Iraqi Resistance factions had previously pledged that they "will not stand idly by in the face of the ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza."

Yemen

Yemeni forces have reportedly joined Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, as a US military official told CNN that the US Navy ship USS Carney intercepted four Cruise missiles and 15 drones allegedly launched by the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement.

The official indicated that the interception operation on Thursday lasted nine hours and that the missiles and drones were headed toward Israeli targets.

CNN suggested that the continuous targeting of "Israel" with drones and missiles from distant locations is a concerning sign that the war could extend beyond the borders of Gaza.

Israeli media reports discussed the additional threat that "Israel" is facing after Ansar Allah announced a comprehensive mobilization and its intention to participate effectively in the confrontation against the Israeli occupation.

The Israeli Walla news website considered that "no one can guarantee that the worst is behind us. An attack from Hezbollah, and perhaps from Iran as well, would turn what we have seen so far into a trailer for a bad movie."

The Israeli media have warned that slipping into a full-scale war could lead to a dramatic shift in the balance of power in the Middle East, highlighting that the tangible danger lies in opening up the northern front. 

Tzachi Hanegbi, the head of the Israeli National Security Council, expressed concern about the expansion of the confrontation to other fronts, stressing that the goal is "not to seek a multi-front battle."

Elsewhere, the Israeli newspaper Maariv suggested that "Israel" is now in its most dangerous existential security crisis, with political, military, and security red lines being breached.

It further emphasized that what has happened so far is just a "warning" in a battle that caught "Israel" off-guard.
