BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

A Yedioth Ahronoth report says that all the Israeli political leadership knew since day one that the declared objectives of the war on Gaza were not attainable.

The objectives declared by the Israeli political leadership regarding the war on Gaza are "unattainable," Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said in a report, adding that this fact has been known since day one.

Addressing the recent declaration made by the chief of the Israeli occupation army that forces are going to expand the scope of the ground offensive in the Strip, the outlet said that this reveals mainly two things.

First, it shows the northern gates of the Gaza Strip have not been cleared yet, as Resistance fighters are still emerging from tunnels and buildings, relentlessly pursuing and ambushing Israeli forces.

Secondly, the army senses that the end is drawing near and is striving to make further achievements before officially declaring a ceasefire

In this context, the newspaper pointed out that the goals set by the government are "unattainable," adding that this fact has been "evident to everyone since day one, as destroying and subduing the Resistance in Gaza is wishful thinking when it comes to the type of strike the occupation entity experienced on October 7.

The newspaper here stressed that "wishes alone do not constitute a military plan or strategy," and harboring overly optimistic expectations will "inevitably lead to disappointment, particularly among the fighting forces."

False claims

Despite the occupation's claims and objectives to "eradicate" the Resistance, ground developments reveal that this is not the case, with no signs that this will change shortly.

Palestinian Resistance fighters have continued to engage in fierce battles against Israeli occupation forces in various sectors of the Gaza Strip, inflicting heavy losses on the invading army, which is evident by the many footages released by Resistance factions, and Israeli media reports.

On that note, the Israeli army claimed earlier this week that its forces took control of Jabalia, following over 75 days of concentrated bombardment, which resulted in the martyrdom of thousands of Palestinians, and nonstop attempts to advance since the beginning of the ground offensive.

However, confrontations with the Resistance are still taking place in the city amid heavy continuous Israeli strikes, refuting the Israeli announcement.

In a report discussing the developments in the besieged Strip, The Wall Street Journal indicated in a report that the Israeli forces are still combating an "unexpectedly fierce battle in northern Gaza," hindering the objective of expanding the invasion in southern Gaza, mainly Khan Younis; the center focus of the newly announced phase.
