"We are entering the sixth month in confronting the aggression on Gaza and on the supportive fronts in Lebanon and Yemen," Sayyed Nasrallah said, highlighting the fact that, in this period, "Israel" has failed to achieve any of its declared goals in the Gaza Strip.
"Gaza, which resists, fights, and perseveres in a scene closer to a miracle [has] astonished the world, representing the culture of the [holy] Quran," the Resistance leader underlined.
"Senior enemy experts acknowledge the strategic losses [of Israel], and today in the sixth month, Netanyahu stands to say if we do not go to Rafah, we have lost the war," he said.
Shedding light on Netanyhu's persistent efforts to invade Rafah, paralleled by Israeli mires in the Gaza Strip and the Northern Front, Sayyed Nasrallah stressed, "We say to Netanyahu, even if you go to Rafah, you have already lost the war, and you cannot abolish Hamas or the Resistance in Gaza despite all the massacres."

We stand with Hamas
He also affirmed the rightfulness of the Resistance's demands of a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, announcing Hezbollah's support of the decision of Hamas' leadership.
"We affirm our support for the Palestinian Resistance factions, especially the leadership of Hamas, which negotiates on behalf of everyone."
On US President Joe Biden's failure to secure an end to the aggression on Gaza and Lebanon, Hezbollah's Secretary-General said, "With a stroke of a pen, President Joe Biden can stop the aggression on Gaza and Lebanon."
Supporting front steadfast on principles
"Neither the Americans nor the British or any Europeans managed to prevent the Yemeni brothers from striking ships heading to occupied Palestine," he added.
He also highlighted the role of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which continues to launch missiles and drones at the Israeli occupation's sites.
Israeli military fatigued
"The Israeli army, after 5 months, suffers shortages in many aspects and wants to recruit 14,500 officers and soldiers, even from the Haredim," Sayyed Nasrallah highlighted, adding that the war on Gaza has taken a heavy toll on Israeli society that targets the most sensitive and contended aspects of the entity's structure, such as the recruitment of Ultra-Orthodox Jews to military service.
"The Israeli army today is exhausted and drained on all fronts, and the number of its [casualties] is very large and much greater than declared."
"On the northern front, there is severe secrecy regarding losses in terms of soldiers, military vehicles, and others," he said.
The Secretary-General pointed out that the economic losses in South Lebanon cannot be compared to the significant losses of the occupation in northern occupied territories, which constitute a significant portion of income for the Israeli regime.
"Those who want to assess what the Resistance is doing on the Lebanese front should see the deterrence the Resistance has achieved against the enemy, preventing it from waging a war on Lebanon," Sayyed Nasrallah explained.
"It takes some time, and the Israeli society is showing signs of fatigue, also [reflected on] its army and economy," he added.
"The natural and logical choice in these battles on the fronts of the Resistance [is to be patient]," Sayyed Nasrallah said, promising that "victory belongs to those who endure."
"Our job and responsibility are to [promote] perseverance and resilience [and place] the Axis of Resistance in a position of strength and the enemy in a position of weakness," he explained.
Sayyed Nasrallah concluded his speech by sending a message of gratitude to protesters in the United States demanding an end to the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, saying that their continued efforts might "open a door for hope."
