The resignation of Israeli officials is a clear indication of the occupation regime's defeat in its war on Gaza, pointed out the chief commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC).

Major General Hossein Salami emphasized that if Gaza had been defeated, it would have marked a setback for Islam, but Gaza's victory symbolizes a triumph for Islam.

"We did not back down in the face of the enemy and we never failed at any point," he underlined.

"We were not worried about the enemy's economic blockade, nor about its military threats and intimidation," Salami added.

The IRGC commander highlighted that recent developments reaffirm the principle that good triumphs over evil.

Commenting on the strength of the Palestinian Resistance, including Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, despite the extensive destruction in Gaza, Salami stressed that on the battlefield in Gaza, those who stood firm with strong hearts emerged victorious.

Elsewhere, the Iranian major general highlighted that this Resistance continues to inspire Muslims globally.

A couple of days ago, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian extended his congratulations to the people of Gaza for their victory against "Israel’s" brutal 15-month-long war.

"We congratulate the resisting people of Gaza and Palestine on the occasion of this victory. They stood up to Israel with strength and esteem, and attained this great achievement," Pezeshkian said during a meeting on Monday.

He further praised Gaza's Resistance, stating, "This resisting people taught other nations how they should stand up to terrorism."

Esmail Qaani, the commander of the IRGC's Quds Force pointed out that the Israeli occupation, after 15 months of committing crimes in Gaza, was forced to accept the Resistance's conditions, which he said were the same ones that the Resistance presented in previous rounds of negotiations.

The ceasefire agreement in Gaza and a prisoner exchange between the Palestinian Resistance and the Israeli occupation came into effect on Sunday, January 19, 2025. However, the occupation breached the agreement shortly thereafter, resulting in fatalities and injuries.

In the first prisoner exchange after the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, Hamas released three Israeli female captives, and in return, "Israel" freed 90 Palestinian prisoners and detainees on January 20.

The second prisoner exchange round taking place on the seventh day of the agreement will see the release of four Israeli female captives in exchange for 120 Palestinian detainees, a senior source within the Resistance leadership told Al Mayadeen on Monday.

'Israel’s' military chief resigns over Oct. 7 failure

"Israel’s" military chief, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, announced his resignation on Tuesday, citing accountability for the military's "failure" during the October 7, 2023, operation by the Palestinian Resistance.

In a resignation letter made public by the army, Halevi stated that he was stepping down "due to my acknowledgment of responsibility for the [military's] failure on October 7."

While claiming that his departure comes amid "significant successes" by the military, Halevi conceded that "not all" of the war's objectives had been fulfilled.

Additionally, Major General Yaron Finkelman, commander of "Israel's" southern military command overseeing Gaza, also resigned.

In a televised address on Tuesday evening, Halevi emphasized that the Israeli military "must provide answers for the failure of October 7 and learn from its mistakes."
