BREAKING
Abu Zaid: I believe that the Iranian operation was multi-layered, combining cyber and electronic attacks with coordinated on-the-ground infiltrations by agents
Abu Zaid: Usually, archives of such sensitivity are typically protected by a full-scale security system, but it appears that Iranian intelligence managed to make use of a gap in it
Strategic military expert Nidal Abu Zaid: Iran has stripped "Israel" of the superiority and deterrence long boasted by its security minister, chief of staff, and other top officials
Fallahpour: Iran may use these documents in its battle with the United States and Western countries over its nuclear program
Fallahpour: Iran may have obtained additional documents related to "Israel's" regional projects, not just its nuclear program
Fallahpour: The coming weeks will be full of surprises, as Iran has forced Israeli intelligence agencies into a state of psychological exhaustion
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siavash Fallahpour: Iran has redefined the concept of deterrence, shifting it away from traditional military balance toward a new strategic framework
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Number of documents so great that merely studying them, along with accompanying images and footage will require a great deal of time.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Large data trove was confirmed to have arrived to "safe sites".
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Operation had taken place in past, but large size of documents and need to transfer entire batch inside Iran necessitated secrecy.

As the Palestinian resistance ravaged the ranks of invading Israeli soldiers in Gaza, the Israeli authorities grew more concerned not only about the ground invasion's prospects of success but also the mounting losses. 

The occupation prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been the most vehement warmonger against the people of Gaza, admitted that the small besieged Palestinian strip is exacting a "very heavy price" as the death toll of Israeli soldiers killed by the resistance is mounting; with  14 soldiers reported to have been neutralized since Friday.  

"This is a difficult morning, after a very difficult day of fighting in Gaza," Netanyahu said. 

"The war is exacting a very heavy price... but we have no choice but to keep fighting."

"We are continuing with full force until the end, until victory, until we achieve all of our goals: the destruction of Hamas, the return of our hostages, and ensuring that Gaza will never again constitute a threat to the State of Israel," he added. 

"Let it be clear: This will be a long war... (until) Hamas is eliminated and we restore security in both the north and the south."

The Israeli occupation forces said that as many as 485 Israeli soldiers have been killed since October 7.

Earlier today, it was reported that the Palestinian Resistance fighters in Gaza are engaged in fierce battles against the invading Israeli forces on several axes within the blockaded Strip as the IOF continues to incur paramount losses.

The entire northern direction of the Gaza Strip is embroiled in heavy fighting amid fierce resistance against the invading Israeli soldiers, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Jabalia al-Balad of northern Gaza has witnessed numerous violent battles as the Resistance fighters inflicted a high number of casualties on the invading Israeli forces.

Northern Tal al-Zaatar has also seen heavy fighting amid violent confrontations taking place in its northeastern direction after the Resistance thwarted an Israeli invasion attempt.

Another hub for brutal confrontations was Bet Lahia and Beit Hanoun in the north, as well as Juhr al-Dik and Deir Balah in central Gaza.

The battles also included al-Shujaiya neighborhood that is still holding up despite being nearly carpet bombed by the Israeli occupation forces.
