⭕ 🇵🇸🇪🇬 Hamas asks Egypt to open border to treat wounded
🔹Hamas has called on Egypt to open the Rafah border crossing to allow the transfer from Gaza of 6,000 wounded people for urgent treatment.
🔹Such a move would require consultation with Israel.
🔹Dozens of Palestinians are reported to have been killed by Israeli air strikes in Gaza as intense fighting continues across the territory.
🔹In addition to the sustained Israeli bombardment, there has been ground combat between Israel’s army and Hamas fighters.
🔹Hamas’ media office said nearly 60,000 injured Palestinians were suffering from infections. [in war, untreated or improperly treated infections usually kill more than the actual war. And most of these are poor civilians deliberately targeted, and their health infrastructure destroyed, precisely to seed infections and contagion which the zionists know and calculate will expedite the desired Annihilation, potentiated with starvation, dirty water, cold, lack of shelter, and continuous stress of being bombed and threat of imminent death. Remember the Israeli general several months ago who openly stated disease works in their favor. The adamant position of the combined West vis-a-vis the Palestinians remains: Annihilation or Exodus. They have not retreated a single step.]

⭕ 🔻 The IOF admits to the death of 4 more officers and the serious wounding of six soldiers in the southern and central #Gaza Strip. It should be noted that, this afternoon [Jan 08], zionist sources reported that 103 IOF soldiers were wounded in the last 24 hours, 19 of them in #Gaza. [this is what they ADMIT to! And note, only 19 in Gaza.. WB and the northern front against Hezbollah simmer along nicely]
⭕ Translation of caption:
“30,000 martyrs in 94 days.
Mathematically, one requires the primitive method of reading the number (units, tens, hundreds, thousands… tens of thousands).
In reality, even zero is a digit from the expansive life of a martyr who was killed by the occupation, or by Arab betrayal, or by the cold, or by hunger. Every martyr is a dream, a voice, a life; they have loved ones and friends, all of whom were destroyed by the occupation in an instant.30,000 martyrs are not a statistic, not just a number, not names to be forgotten. Each one of them has thirty thousand vendettas with the world that continues in their killing. Thirty thousand, and still the world counts and participates in the genocide.” |video|
[Crooke, Tucker & Co misunderstand and underestimate the gravity. The issue is not the West’s ennui and pensive self-contemplation and time-out it wants for navel-gazing. Time is up. Gaza has opened up wide the Pit. Hell walks the earth. It foremost marches on the West. Deagle counted on it; their lopsided statistics largely show the Absolute Annihilation of western countries. Who might want that, and ensures it through Gaza??]
⭕ “Poverty drove my grandfather away from my country, but love brought me back to it.” (1/3)Today’s story is about the revolutionary, internationalist comrade, colonel, and martyr, Antoun Jamil Slim Dawoud.
From Mexico to Palestine to Cuba, Antoun lived for revolution.
A son of the diaspora, he was born in Bogata, Colombia in 1909 to a family from Bethlehem. Revolutionary blood coursed through his veins. He fought against Americans in Mexico’s Las Segovia battle, relocated to Honduras in 1932, and then to France and before moving to Palestine to fight and execute operations during the Arab revolt of 1936 with Abdulqader Al-Husseini. From there, he traveled to Cuba to fight alongside Che Guevara and Fidel Castro at the dawn of the Cuban revolution. Antoun followed Che to Bolivia, where the revolution continued, and Che fell as a martyr of the revolution. In his revolutionary life, Antoun met with Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh before his burial in Kuwait on this day in 1969, draped in a Palestinian flag. He was martyred as he was born: planning for the revolution.
Antoun’s riveting story is one that competes with even the most astounding movie plots, but his life of revolution is as real as the struggles for which he fought.
Antoun was a pilot and a solider. In Mexico, he earned the rank of Captain due to his courage in the battle of the Las Segovia mountains, where he led machine gun squads. In Honduras two years later, he had founded a commercial airline.
Upon his return to his homeland, he first worked as a spy, since he told the immigration officer he was Jewish as soon as he got off the boat. He infiltrated the Palestine Mandate Police, where he worked as an agent for the revolutionaries. He would cover for them, help prisoners, and inform fighters of British plans. Despite hesitation due to his poor Arabic, Antoun joined the 1936 Revolution as it erupted, working as a spy within the comprador Palestine Police Force.
⭕ “Liberators of peoples must struggle within the lands they intend to liberate. Wars are not won from behind desks.” (2/3)Antoun learned the ins and outs of the American consulate, discovering through Haganah members that zionist political and military forces were under the command of the Jewish Agency. His plan was meticulous, crafted with precision to ensure he knew who would be present. Antoun slept in the consulate that night, keeping a close eye on American zionist soldiers. After secretly listening to meetings, he contacted Abdulqader Al-Husseini—he knew what had to be done.
Antoun passed through four Jewish checkpoints and two British ones. He planted barrel after barrel, tricking guards into thinking he was transporting American officers. They saw no one in the car. “Arab! Arab! Arab!” It was too late.
Antoun threw two bombs. Neither exploded. Undeterred, he drew two pistols and fired two shots, leaving an officer dead on the spot. He continued to hit soldiers, knowing time was running out and the explosives hadn’t yet detonated. In a quick dash, Antoun rolled under a zionist armored vehicle and found himself on the main street, quickly moving to safety.
Boom. The Jewish Agency was turned to rubble under the force of Antoun’s explosives. He had succeeded in destroying a booby-trapped fortress of zionist documents guarded by Haganah death squads. 250 tons of explosives had been detonated in front of the American consul, for whom he worked as a driver. 40 zionists were killed and 40 more were injured, with damage extending as far as the Jerusalem Post.
Antoun left safely, pistols loaded. He slyly told some zionist guards it was the British who had blown up the building.
He was not done yet. His fight was not over.
⭕ A lifelong struggle. (3/3)From Yaffa to Al-Quds then onto Bethlehem. Back to Al-Quds. Antoun was home. He was in Palestine, fighting for her liberation. He accomplished what he set out to do. After the operation, he went to Areeha, then Nablus, where he ate some knafeh. His journey led him to Birzeit to meet commander Abdulqader.
Antoun was forced to leave home yet again because of risks to his life. However, he carried the sprit of struggle with him until his end. After the Nakba, he traveled to Cuba in 1950, becoming part of the first cell of the incipient and victorious Cuba revolution with Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. A specialist in guerilla warfare, Antoun accompanied Guevara to Bolivia in the 1960s.
He made several visits to Vietnam and China, conducting interviews with revolutionary leaders in Asia, particularly Mao Zedong. After a long journey in struggle, he returned once again to his homeland. There, he chose to join the PFLP under Dr. George Habash’s leadership, because he believed in the value of its scientific socialist approach.
After the 1967 Nakba, Antoun planned a major operation with the PFLP to deal a severe blow to the zionist entity. Fate had other plans, and his time ended before his wish could be realized.
While visiting family in Kuwait, Antoun completed his tour of revolution and passed away, but his story lives. And the revolution lives, fueled by stories of courage like Antoun’s. From Colombia to Cuba, from Bethlehem to Yaffa, from homeland to global struggle, Antoun’s story is unbounded by borders and indelibly etched in the history of revolution.

⭕ 🟢 Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh:
—
There are three developments that preceded the Al-Aqsa Flood.
– First: the marginalization of the Palestinian cause locally and internationally.
– Second: the arrival of an extremist zionist government which prioritized the displacement of our people and imposing sovereignty over the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
– Third: the normalization processes and integrating the occupation into the region, treating it at the expense of our people and our cause.Faced with this, our Palestinian people and our resistance decided that a reality of this kind cannot be confronted with traditional means. Hence, the Al-Aqsa Flood was the response.
The enemy set three goals: annihilate the resistance, recover the prisoners, and the implementation of the displacement plan for Gazans towards Egypt. I tell you that the enemy, despite the destruction and massacres, has failed to achieve any of the war’s objectives.
Hamas is present in Gaza, the West Bank, Al-Quds, and in the diaspora, in the conscience of the nation and the free people of the world; it cannot be eliminated. Hamas has entered every home in the Arab and Islamic nation and the world.
These objectives were adopted by the American administration and the Western alliance. We clearly state that this aggression is American-“israeli”, as the American administration pushed all its capabilities and devised the war plan to eliminate the resistance.
The enemy designed four stages of war: aerial bombing, ground invasion, focused operations against the resistance, and the political phase.
Despite the heavy cost, massacres, and genocidal war, the enemy failed to achieve any of its war objectives.
After nearly 100 days, the zionist intelligence and its Western ally, along with drones flying over Gaza and bombing, all failed to liberate even a single living prisoner from the Gaza Strip.
The “israeli” occupation will never be able to recover its prisoners except by releasing all of our prisoners in its jails.
Due to extreme panic and disturbance, the occupation killed three of their own prisoners, mistaking them for a deception operation by Al-Qassam Brigades.
The objective of displacement [contrived Exodus] has fallen, due to the steadfastness of our people and their deep roots in our land. When allowed, the people of Gaza who were stuck outside entered Gaza, and the people of Gaza did not leave it.
The occupation failed in all its military objectives. It succeeded in only one thing, which is revealing its murderous, bloody face to the whole world after committing all these massacres.
What is happening in the West Bank is serious and significant. The enemy is brutalizing its people, and about 350 martyrs have ascended since the beginning of Al-Aqsa Flood.
The entire region is on a boiling plate, with martyrs on supporting fronts in Lebanon and elsewhere.
We see that the world’s nations are pouring weapons to the occupation through air bridges and aircraft carriers. It is time to support the resistance with weapons because this is the battle of Al-Aqsa, not just the battle of the Palestinian people alone.
The daily losses of the zionist occupation in Palestine at the hands of the heroes of the resistance are much greater than what the occupation announces.
The videos the world sees of the resistance operations are just a fraction of what is happening on the ground. Not all operations are filmed, but the occupation army knows the facts.
Yesterday, the zionist media spoke about what they called the “hardest day for us” in Gaza. After nearly 100 days they talk about hard days because there are men who have kept their promise to Allah.
The resistance front in Gaza is a strong, cohesive, promising front with a long strategic breath, leadership, and control. This is a source of pride for all the sons of the nation and the free people of the world.
The time has come for the struggle of spears. This battle of Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa is not only Gaza’s battle. The people in Gaza are in the front trench for defense and attack. [good reflection and summation up to the moment. Note all Resistance groups hammer home the point who is really fueling and behind this Annihilation. The West is finished in decent society worldwide. Even those who hate Muslims recognize the satanism at play; what the crazed do to the Palestinian civilians will be rolled out if they are permitted to win or get away with any part of it. So a Voentorg and delegitimization will flow in the four corners of our world. Absolute bestiality will be fought no-holds in same manner they annihilate Gaza]

⭕ The Escalating Cost of War: Israel’s Political Struggles and the Indefatigable Palestinian Resistance.
by Elijah J MagnierUS Secretary of State Antony Blinken is visiting Israel for the fifth time amid significant disagreements between the two sides over the running of the war in Gaza. The aim of this visit isn’t to stop the war in Gaza but to enter a new phase, the so-called ‘third phase’. This is even though the previous objectives and phases have yet to be achieved. The prolongation of the war raises concerns about its potential impact, especially on the degradation of the resistance’s capabilities. However, given the results observed during the three-month conflict, such an outcome seems unlikely.
The Israeli military withdrew from several areas in northern Gaza and repositioned itself on the outskirts while at the same time intensifying its attacks in the south through several approaches. They have met and continue facing unwavering, natural resistance in these areas. This resistance, inherent in both the north and the south, has remained steadfast throughout more than three months of conflict, harassing the occupation forces and launching missiles at Tel Aviv on a regular basis.
In a dramatic display before the world community, Israel has deliberately demolished entire neighbourhoods and committed large-scale destruction and massacres to compensate for its lack of victory. This is the worst damage inflicted on Gaza since it was destroyed by Alexander the Great in 333 BC after a 100-day siege. Despite historical precedents, including Israel’s occupation of Gaza until 2005 and its subsequent withdrawal due to high costs, the lessons seem to have been ignored. Eighteen years of Israeli siege and abuse have only served to strengthen the skills, equipment, weapons and tactics of the Palestinian resistance.
The systematic destruction in Gaza has only increased the ferocity of the resistance, which now steadfastly refuses to submit to Israeli control or will. Israel’s experience, such as the occupation of Beirut in 1982, mirrors the current situation. The Israeli military then struggled against the stubborn resistance and now faces similar challenges in a Palestinian city deeply wounded and bent on revenge against the occupying forces.
American and some Israeli officials are discussing what they call the ‘third phase’ of managing Gaza after the war. This dialogue seems to assume that the first phase, aimed at gaining control of Gaza, and the second phase, focused on eliminating resistance forces, have been completed. However, the reality on the ground contradicts this assumption, as Israel has not established control inside the Strip, as evidenced by the continued resistance attacks and the withdrawal from the north that observed the return of a large number of inhabitants.
Moreover, the prospect of defeating the resistance seems remote. If it were to happen, it could lead to an escalation of responses by other groups. Hezbollah, for example, has already demonstrated its capabilities through actions such as the attack on the air command and control base on Mount Meron. These attacks suggest that further unpredictable tactics may be employed, primarily if the resistance in Gaza seeks or needs additional support from its allies.
The Israeli government is experiencing heavy internal discord in its relations with the United States – where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is known for his apparent defiance – and among its ministers over conflicting goals. Moreover, Netanyahu faces challenges in achieving his goals, which include freeing prisoners and ending the influence of ‘Hamas’. He is also under pressure from extremist ministers in his own government who are demanding the removal of Palestinians from Gaza to make way for Israeli settlers. This controversial move puts Netanyahu in a precarious position, especially with the United States, which opposes such transfers. It also undermines global moral and humanitarian support for Israel. It also puts Israel’s allies in a difficult position because of their association with this policy, especially as Israel is under scrutiny by the International Criminal Court, as Israeli officials themselves have acknowledged.
Of particular concern is the statement by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the dire situation in Gaza. In particular, he highlighted the food insecurity affecting 90 per cent of Gaza’s population and the irreversible damage being done to Gaza’s children. Blinken’s awareness of Israel’s actions is evident, but the superpower’s response is mainly limited to expressions of regret and a refusal to consider the resettlement of Palestinians outside Gaza. Practical measures to address Israel’s ongoing actions are conspicuously absent. As a result, America’s reputation and moral standing are suffering losses comparable in magnitude to Israel’s military casualties, which, according to the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, exceed 12,000 dead and wounded. The financial cost is estimated at around $60 billion. What’s more, there is growing global contempt for the Zionist entity and its policies, which are increasingly seen as criminal.
The conflict remains open to different outcomes, as Israel has not yet achieved its objectives and continues to use aggressive tactics. The protracted nature of the war increases the risk of further deterioration and encourages Gaza’s allies to intensify their actions against Israel. This highlights Israel’s vulnerability and the erosion of its international image while keeping global attention firmly focused on the Palestinian issue.
Support for Gaza from the Lebanese Front has become increasingly evident, especially with Hezbollah’s active involvement in the conflict. Hezbollah has launched a series of continuous attacks against Israel, demonstrating its determination in the struggle. This aggression has resulted in Israel suffering significant blows. However, there is widespread concern that the widening of the Front could lead to an unmanageable level of conflict, making it difficult for Israel to assess and manage the potential casualties and consequences.
On the Yemen front, there’s a strong call for the siege of Gaza to be lifted. This position overlooks the coalition that America has formed to protect the sea lanes. The Yemeni Front, particularly the Houthis, have expressed their indifference to this coalition, suggesting that their missile capabilities could target ships that violate their decree against carrying goods destined for Israel.
In addition, the Iraqi Front has become active and is not limiting its operations to attacks in Iraq and Syria but is also sending missile signals. The Iraqi resistance – expected of a more significant role in the future – moved towards the Karish gas field and rocket launches towards Haifa as an indicative of a strategic show of force, signalling the ability to strike unexpected targets.
Regardless of their effectiveness, these signals indicate a readiness for further escalation if deemed necessary.
If the war continues and approaches a point where it exhausts the Palestinian resistance, it may be necessary to widen the Front and use rolling methods. These strategies are already being considered and could be activated if it’s decided that the current level of Israeli fragmentation provides an opportunity to intensify the conflict. Such an escalation could potentially hasten the end of the war.
Before 7 October, instability in the Israeli political landscape and the performance of its extremist government reportedly caused 250,000 settlers to leave the country. Since the start of the war, 470,000 settlers are thought to have gone, returning to their countries of origin. This departure has led to a 70 per cent drop in Jewish immigration to Israel. If new fronts open up in the conflict, or if the Israeli army fails to provide adequate protection and security for the settlers and is unable to neutralise Palestinian resistance, Israel’s situation could change irreversibly. Under these circumstances, any post-war plans for Gaza could become irrelevant, especially in light of the continued resistance in Gaza and the military challenges facing Israel. The failure to impose conditions on reconstruction materials and regulate medicine and food supplies could indicate a more comprehensive strategic failure.
Given the inability of the Israeli army to effectively occupy and maintain a presence in Gaza, there is speculation that the Israeli government may collapse, leading to the formation of a new government. This new government would then face the daunting task of trying to restore Israel’s international image and the prestige of its now-beleaguered military.

⭕ The European Jews of Khazar origin are not Semites: Omeljan Pritzak, a notable scholar from Ukraine, significantly contributed to studying the Khazar people, an ancient nomadic tribe. His research led him to conclude that over 40,000 Khazars converted to Judaism in the 8th or 9th century. This finding is significant as it sheds light on the religious and cultural dynamics of the Khazars. This group played an essential role in the history of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Pritzak’s work helps to understand the complex interplay of religion, culture, and identity in historical societies.The Khazars who converted to Judaism are not Semites in a strict ethnolinguistic sense. The term “Semite” originally refers to a group of people who speak Semitic languages, which include Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic, among others. This term has its roots in historical linguistics and ethnology, primarily denoting a language group rather than a distinct racial or genetic lineage.
The Khazars were Turkic nomadic people from Central Asia and were not native speakers of a Semitic language. Their conversion to Judaism, as scholars like Omeljan Pritzak suggested, represents a religious and cultural shift rather than a change in their ethnolinguistic identity. When they converted to Judaism, they adopted the Jewish religion and certain cultural practices but did not change their ethnolinguistic origins. |THREAD|

⭕ About the assassination of a high-ranking member of Hezbollah and its significance to the ultra-OrthodoxA week after the attack on the Beirut suburbs, an Israeli drone carried out another targeted strike on Kherbet Selm in the south of the country. This rocket attack resulted in the death of one of the senior commanders of the Rezvan special forces of Hezbollah, Haj Jawad al-Tawil.
🔻Considering the missile strike in Beirut, followed by the terrorist attack in Kerman and now this attack, it becomes evident how determined the Israeli ultra-Orthodox government is in provoking the so-called “axis of resistance” represented by Iran and Hezbollah to retaliate.
In our discussion of the tragedy in Kerman, we pointed out that the ultra-Orthodox can only maintain their power if the war continues, preferably (but not necessarily) with them in the role of the “victim.” Attacks like today’s against important members of Hezbollah serve precisely this purpose.
❗️In this situation, one should not expect a strong reaction from Hezbollah, as this is exactly what the ultra-Orthodox desire. In military matters, one of the fundamental rules is to thwart the enemy’s objectives.
If one is tempted to engage the enemy on their own terms, precisely what should be avoided, it is important to impose one’s own conditions. Hassan Nasrallah understands this well, despite the reputational losses he suffers due to his lack of response.
Risking a lot in retaliation for one individual (although respected and significant for the Shiites) would appear to be a very questionable move. This is especially true considering the thousands of civilians who have already lost their lives in Palestine and Lebanon.

May God grant you patience in your loss of martyrs.
I address you thus:
It is possible to throw out the American bases with a single measure represented in removing and preventing any Iraqi local protection or logistical services provided to all American bases, such that the task of protecting them is restricted to American soldiers inside and outside them and in the areas where they are present, as well as the services.
I advise trying this measure alongside what you are doing.
If the government stands with the people and truly wants to throw out the occupiers, then it will make the decision to prevent this.Ibn Riad is back on TG and a pleasure to read indeed. The severe implications of Meron attack, and what it leads to, are laid out. It will free up Hezbollah, and most of all the Iraqi Resistance.

💠@Eyes on South:
⭕ The US and Zionists’ greatest mistake was not winning their terrorist proxy war on Syria. One of the main outcomes of their failure is that Hezbollah managed to create an entire generation of extremely skilled, experienced, battle-hardened and highly specialized leaders💠@Ibn Riad:
⭕ 🧵 Hizbullah’s strike on the Meron IOF base: Despite being a ‘preliminary response’, the strike on Meron constitutes a complex, multilayered operation that was precisely calibrated to fulfill multiple purposes at once.1️⃣ The attack was precisely calibrated to be painful to the enemy without forcing them into an escalatory response of their own. Indeed, Zionist media is already discussing the unconvincing IOF response that does nothing to establish their deterrence.
“The IOF’s response to the attack on Meron Air Control base, which is referred to as the ‘Security System’s Eyes,’ falls short of being reassuring. It is not yet clear whether this is a directive from the hesitant political echelon or a military recommendation for a weak response.” — N14 correspondent
[AHH: I posted most of his source links above and will not repost]Nevertheless, it is very clear that the attack was extensively impactful. The reasons for this are manifold:
The first is that the enemy considered the details of the base to not [be] fully known to the resistance, and that it was out of their reach. Not so.
“A message to israel, if you think that there are hidden bases that we cannot hit, then we tell you that there is no such thing in the face of Hezbollah’s missiles and capabilities, all the sites in israel are within the range of Hezbollah’s missiles.”
— Chairman of Hezbollah’s executive council, Sayyid Hashem Safi Al-DinSecondly, this base plays a critical role in the IOF’s intelligence apparatus, and is only one of two such bases in the entity, the other being responsible for the southern half of the occupation. More details in this thread. |THREAD| This is a hugely important military site that has never before been targeted, and the role it plays throughout the command chain of the enemy army’s air superiority cannot be overstated.
Thirdly, the attack was resoundingly successful, despite early IOF claims that the rockets were ‘shot down’ or ‘hit empty land’. These claims were swiftly dismantled when the military media released the footage, proving the effectiveness of the attack. The second proof of the success of the operation is the military censorship that was imposed regarding the hit, and indeed regarding the entire function of the site itself. The third proof of the impact of the hit is the hysterical bombardment that followed the hit, typical of when they have taken losses:
The “israelis,” as usual, have not mentioned the losses inflicted by Hezbollah’s hit today. However, another indicator that the operation was a huge blow that hurt them a lot is the amount of loud explosions we’ve been hearing for hours now. The enemy is going crazy.
— @political_aya__ on XThis bombardment did not lead to casualties or significant damage, but is more of an emotional response.
In light of their customary military censorship, this has become a customary measure of the degree of losses they taken, and rarely fails to deliver.
[AHH: I would add, within Palestine, retaliation includes indiscriminate murder of Palestinian civilians as policy — using drones, snipers, tanks, artillery, aircraft, anything to lash out to relieve impotent fury when the Resistance strikes effectively at their military objectives]Zionists are going insane, seems that Hezbollah’s operation today targeting the Meron air base really, really hurt. — @EyesOnSouth1 on X
The fourth proof comes from the fact that very soon afterwards, they started ‘bragging’ about launching an observation balloon – a hilarious boast, considering it was only launched to compensate for the damage to their surveillance capacity at Meron. [AHH: what Hezbollah is doing in north Palestine is mindnumbing and flying under our radar. The absolute degradation of capabilities, as the Russians do against the crazed NATO front in 404, which lead to cascade of irretrievable losses as the West CANNOT replace what is being lost wholesale in such rapid fashion under constant fire. Seemingly tactical and opportunistic, but actually layering into strategic ramifications]
⭕ And the fifth and final proof comes directly from enemy media 👆
⭕ We have therefore established that A. the strike was successful and B. that the IOF’s response was lacking.Thus we proceed with our analysis of the nature of the attack:
2️⃣ The attack was a logical extension of the strategy of blinding the enemy along the border, and concurrently, an escalation of this strategy. Since Oct 8th, the resistance has been disabling the enemy’s defensive, intelligence & surveillance infrastructure along the border. This has taken the routine form of ATGM attacks against military bases, personnel and vehicles, but also cameras and observation posts. In a previous escalation, two Iron Dome batteries were hit.
The hit on Meron constitutes an escalation that is a further step beyond that. In effect, the resistance leveraged the circumstances of justified retaliation to allow them to escalate their pre-existing strategy and take it to a higher level, while serving the same strategic ends that they have already been building towards.
The same was true of the hit on the Iron Dome batteries, which was also a response to an IOF aggression against Lebanese civilians. This is the same strategy- with the same intentions- kicked up a notch.
As I have previously stated: In addition to a step up the Escalation Ladder, targeting Iron Dome batteries also serves the same purpose as destroying IOF border surveillance capabilites: preparing the ground for all-out war.
[AHH: and this is coming! Nasrallah said it clearly. The total Annihilation of Palestinians and attempt to raise their demonic Moshiach will have consequences]In this way the message itself is simultaneously preparation for its fulfilment. This is the Escalation Ladder in full effect: the IOF are goaded into tying their own noose around their own necks. Each IOF escalation becomes leverage for the resistance to take their operations up a further notch, to further disable the IOF’s defenses.
[AHH: slow-boiling frogs being declawed and defanged..]Within the scope of declared, justified retaliation, it becomes difficult for the IOF to consider the attacks a breach of the rules of engagement: instead the IOF is left to break the rules, and to bear the consequences thereof: the frog is being boiled in its own water.
The gradual dismantling the enemy’s defensive line (on a lower level basis daily, and a high-level basis in special retaliatory operations) is itself a strategic masterclass: it holds the full promise of an invasion for liberation, for which the enemy must be on constant guard.
Thus a significant portion of the IOF is held up on the Lebanese border, and thus unable to be rotated into Gaza, leaving the troops there over-extended, fatigued and prone to error, while they are picked off by the resistance in Gaza.
If significant numbers of the enemy’s troops were not held up on the Lebanese border, they would have been able to rotate their troops and officers in Gaza and avoid the fatigue that they say leads to friendly fire and other such incidents. — Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah
For now, the promise of a liberating invasion from Lebanon remains a promise, and for now, that is all that is needed. But the fulfillment of this promise hangs over the head of the enemy, and who is to say when the decision comes to fulfill it?
[AHH: do you understand Macgregor’s agony? Why he keeps harping on Hezbollah’s imminent invasion? He knows their zionist proxy is doomed and invasion from the north a certainty now. Bestial wars have existential consequences for satanists..]“There’s a weird and scary atmosphere in the Golan & northern border with Lebanon.” — Israeli channel
The groundwork is lain, and with each escalation, is further extended. The drones that compensate the lost surveillance along the border, the balloon that compensates the hit on Meron: they are flimsy measures indeed, and when the time comes, will be swatted from the skies.
⭕ So far then, we have discussed the impact of the hit, the evidence for it, the lacking IOF response, and the place of the attack within the Lebanese resistance’s broader strategy.We now close this discussion by examining the broader repercussions of the attack:
3️⃣ The attack on Meron enables retaliation and escalation from all fronts.
On Sunday January 7th, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced the targeting of occupied Haifa using a cruise missile. This is the first operation of its kind by the Iraqi resistance, and no coincidence that the coastal north of the entity was hit for the first time from Iraq just after the base responsible for protecting the occupied north was (at least partially) disabled.
This long-range cruise missile had to have flown over Jordanian air, meaning it overcame Jordan’s OMNYX system that tracks & identifies airborne threats, C4ISR air defense system, and five US-linked radars. The closest border point from Iraq to Haifa’s port is about 400 km.
— @TheBlahDalia on XThis is in addition to the possibilities the hit opens up for attacks from Lebanon itself: indeed the strategy of gradually dismantling surveillance is a layered one, with each blow opening up room for the next: just as the hit on Meron was itself enabled by previous attacks.
The attack also holds a symbolic element, considering the base played a role in enabling the attack on Dahyeh that led to the martyrdom of Saleh Al-Arouri- the escalation that this attack comes in retaliation to.
The choice of target was simply meticulous.🪜🔥Hezbollah’s attack on Meron intelligence surveillance Air base is a very significant attack, & it’s only the first of more attacks to come.
Meron has been targeted because it served as an important air control center for the IOF army drones, and the assassination of Arouri.
— @AryJeay on XThe means by which the attack was conducted also holds significance: the upgraded ATGMs have reached far deeper into occupied territory than the IOF anticipated, and open up the possibility for further strikes which the Iron Dome is not suited to prevent.
In israel, the assessment is increasing. The strategic facility in the north (Miron base) was attacked with Kornet missiles capable of reaching up to 10 km. The Iron Dome is not designed to deal with this type of threat, so the israeli army needs to find alternative solutions.
— Channel 12Most significant is the fact that this is not even the entirety of the response to the IOF’s crime in Beirut, but merely a preliminary one. Sayyid Hassan [Nasrallah] has previously stated that the crime is twofold: the attack on Dahyeh [Beirut, sovereign Lebanese land], and the martyrdom of Arouri.
What happened yesterday, as stated in the statement of Islamic resistance, is the initial response and not the entire response to targeting Al Dahiyeh. This means that there are additional responses, and the enemy should await them.
— Chairman of Hezbollah’s executive council, Sayyid Hashem Safi Al-Din
[don’t u love the legalistic, methodical, anodyne manner in which the punishment to come is laid out to the demented?? ‘Retribution Aforetold.’ And they shall be mocked out of their accursed tormented existence]Nevertheless, even this preliminary attack plays a significant role in the reestablishment of the deterrence equation, and this was among the primary goals of the retaliation.
Today, every faction has martyrs to avenge:
— Yemen: fighters martyred at sea.
— Iran: IRGC commander, & victims of Kerman
— Iraq: PMU commander & fighters
— Hamas: Al-Arouri
— Lebanon: attack on Dahyeh & Al-ArouriHizbullah’s initial response enables all of them to do so more easily.
We thus summarize the goals of the attack on Meron:
— Reestablishing deterrence.
— Inflicting a painful, unexpected blow.
— Continuing & escalating the strategy of disabling defenses.
— Enabling further attacks from Lebanon but also elsewhere.
— Setting the stage for what is to come.
⭕ Not too shabby for an ‘initial response’. 🙂I will wrap up this rather long discussion with further reading regarding Meron, beginning with this post by @AryJeay, and then this translation by @revolutionaryem of the information in the video published by the Military Media of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon
And on the actual settlement of Meron: Meron is a settlement that was established in 1949 on the remains of the Palestinian village of Meron. It lies 8 km from the Southern-most point of Lebanon, and has never been evacuated before. Today, it is under fire from Hezbollah.
— @political_aya__ on XAnd with that – we can only wait and see what the next stages of the resistance’s response will comprise… and indeed, what else may yet come in future, for the attack on Meron is at once both a message, and a step towards its fulfillment.
also this a a strong and decisive message to the Zionists, for if and when the war breaks out. Hezbollah can target their air superiority and cripple it, and if you take that away from the Zionists, what are they left with? that embarrassment they are displaying in Gaza?

⭕ “We have only one enemy. I will continue to carry the rifle and pull the trigger whenever required to defend my people.”From Gaza, Abu Ataya went to Egypt. His path led him to Syria, Morocco, Tunisia, and even as far as Germany, where he enrolled in a military academy for three years. He travelled to Algeria and then Iraq before ending his tour of the Arab world and returning finally home to Gaza in 1993 despite his strong opposition to the recently signed Oslo Accords.
He worked in the Palestinian Authority security forces as an officer and soon became an elected member of Fatah. But Abu Ataya was dissatisfied with the level of corruption in Fatah. The party expelled him after he protested against their corruption, and the PA even abducted him for 19 months in their prisons for working with PIJ. Abu Ataya soon realized he had to create his own project.
With the help of Saraya Al-Quds leaders and with the spark of the second intifada in 2000, he announced the beginnings of the Popular Resistance Committees from Rafah, Gaza and formed the Nasser Al-Salah Al-Din Brigades, its military wing. Its fighters were mostly ex-Fatah and PA forces members, along with Hamas and PIJ fighters. Abu Ataya established extensive relationships with other resistance forces, and as such, PRC maintained and still maintains a very close relationship to Hezbollah.
After Al-Qassam Brigades [Hamas] and Saraya Al-Quds [Islamic Jihad movement], the Nasser Al-Salah Al-Din Brigades is the strongest military wing in Gaza. Its operations are many, painful, and precise. The Nasser Salah Al-Din Brigades were the first in Palestine to blow up the “indestructible” IOF Merkava, killing many IOF soldiers and wounding others. Under Abu Ataya’s command, fighters infiltrated several settlements and on one occasion in 2003, attacked a US convoy that killed five in Gaza. Years after his martyrdom, PRC fighters continue to carry out destructive and creative operations, such as the Flag Ambush Operation of 2018, in which explosives were hidden inside a flagpole on the Gaza colonial border. Under Abu Ataya and now, the PRC’s “Nasser” and “Abu Ataya” rockets cause destruction to the fragile zionist entity, striking “Tel Aviv” and beyond, its AQ suicide drones strike IOF targets, and its fighters are active in the West Bank.
In his heroic journey, he survived three assassination attempts by the zionist entity. A cautious man, he did not carry a phone; contact with him was only possible through associates. In August 2004, he survived a targeted zionist bombing. After these assassination attempts, he elected to walk everywhere, abandoning his car.
⭕ “We will strike them in their heart as they struck us in our heart.”In 2006, Abu Ataya became the first resistance commander to hold a governmental position in Gaza under the Hamas government; he was the most wanted by the zionist entity after Al-Qassam Brigades commander-in-chief Mohammed Deif. This position put him on even worse terms with the enemy. Faced with threats from the US and zionist entity, Abu Ataya declared: “I do not fear zionist threats. We are not afraid of the zionist entity. All of our people are within their circle of targeting, and we will use all means to protect the resistance and our people. We are not afraid of death. We fight for martyrdom.”
On this day 17 years ago, US-funded zionist planes bombarded a PRC training site, targeting Sheikh Jamal. He ascended to martyrdom with his comrades, fulfilling his destiny. Immediately following the news of his martyrdom, “Sderot” was bombarded by the missiles of the resistance and resistance fighters carried out operations on soldiers and settlers. A page of the Palestinian struggle was turned, but the chapter had not ended.
In fact, at the moment of his martyrdom, Abu Ataya was strategizing with martyr Ahmed Al-Jabari for a carefully planned joint operation which would shatter the enemy’s illusion of security. This operation, aptly named Operation Dissipated Illusion, was carried out by fighters of Nasser Al-Salah Al-Din Brigades 17 days after Abu Ataya’s martyrdom.
At 5:15 AM in Rafah, where the PRC marked its beginnings, PRC fighters shelled an IOF watchtower and opened fire. They crossed into the occupied Palestine, gunning down soldiers. By the end of the affair, two IOF soldiers had been killed, five were wounded, and the prize of IOF soldier Gilad Shalit had been taken by fighters who returned to Gaza. Two fighters ascended to martyrdom in the heroic operation. On the same day, PRC fighters in the West Bank carried out the Rage of the Knights operation, in which they kidnapped a zionist police officer and killed him. In Gaza, Shalit was carefully guarded despite manic IOF raids to find him, as PRC fighters handed him to Al-Qassam Brigades for protection.
Five years later, Gilad would be exchanged for over 1,000 prisoners in zionist jails in the “Faithful to the Free” operation mediated by Hamas; a mere 1 minute video of him freed 19 women prisoners two years before that. Today, we honor the legacy of this mountain of a leader, who martyr Basil Al-Araj described as “a man of brilliant military mindset—the Artaboun of Palestine.”
Sheikh Jamal Abu Samhadna taught us: “Our victories over the zionist occupation have proven their failure and their impotence. They have proven that there is no shrewdness in the ‘Palestinian negotiator,’ but that the real shrewdness comes from the Palestinian fighter who tarnished the honor of ‘israel’ in the dust. The most honorable position that a Palestinian can arrive at is to become a fighter and protect his people and his sanctities, to sacrifice all that he has for the sake of his people’s freedom.”
Freedom for our heroic prisoners.
Glory to our commanding martyr whose legacy endures.
Glory to the destroyer of the indestructible.
⭕ Zionist sources report that a rocket fired from Lebanon made impact in the settlement of “Kiryat Shmona” in northern eastern occupied Palestine moments ago without sirens sounding. [how’s your air defense holding up? Got interceptors? How’s the backup USUK-EU industrial MIC doing? Can you keep it up for another 75 years??]
⭕ Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Commission: From last night until this Monday morning, the “israeli” occupation forces have launched a widespread arrest operation, detaining at least 40 citizens from the West Bank, including former prisoners.
The number of arrests after October 7th reached 5,725.
⭕ Spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, Dr. Ashraf Al-Qidra:
🔹Hospitals in southern Gaza have lost their capacity to accommodate the wounded in departments and intensive care units. There is severe overcrowding in hospitals in southern Gaza, with hundreds of wounded lying on the ground in corridors and courtyards.

⚡️The 94th day of the brutal “israeli” aggression on the Gaza Strip.
⚡️The “israeli” occupation commits 17 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, leaving 249 martyrs and 510 injured during the past 24 hours.
⚡️The toll of the “israeli” aggression has risen to 23,084 martyrs and 58,926 injuries since the 7th of October. [the precision, reliability, and detail of the documentation of this Annihilation would make proud the American IBM executives of the early 1940s…]💠@Yemen | Bab-el-Mandeb:
⭕ The response to the American attack that claimed the lives of 10 of our fighters will be painful.
⭕ Urgent: Office manager of the Commander, addressing the families of the naval martyrs: You will witness what pleases you, and the response to the American enemy will be painful.
Office manager of the Commander: America is colliding with a nation that has a solid doctrine, faith, high consciousness, and insight.
She is beautiful, in a haughty ice-princess way. Pepe, with the judicious eye of Brazil / Romance-people, calls her “the Steel Kitten.” I, like most, find Koreans attractive, and they’re usually more feminine than her. Being genocided does terrible things to a society — many also note the femininity and purity of Russian women, in part driven to attract men after millions had died in war. Kim’s sister grew up in a similar tough land, under continuous assault for centuries, heightened since early 1950s. Yemeni women are feminine too, for similar reasons; for this part of the world, it is MOST prudent to be on good behavior even after marriage, if desiring domestic tranquility! In fact, surrender your pants inside your home, that works best, all things considered.The best Indie movies for a while, before they went totally crazy, were South Korean. Try “Oldboy 2003” or “A Bittersweet Life 2005” and many others. Like Japan’s Kurosawa in agony and rebelling against both US occupation and his demented elites, Korea was afflicted and brought to the fore the best script writers, directors, cinematographers, etc. Good exploration of class war, morality, and a disturbing fetish for Retribution against Oppressors and Injustice, using extreme violence without limits. Now they’ve gone trans, including transhumanism, some are evangelical crazies, and many acquired a taste for fascism and masochism. Sad for South Korea! Chairman Kim said they are no longer our brothers. Conquest as element of reunification looks likely
👆👆👆 not a casual family outing or Voguesque photo-shoot. Another front with a lurking Nemesis. Most pregnant and positionally suggestive. Intent to take forcefully is declared. Among the organs of state to “pénétrer” CONUS should the crazies choose to open Ray’s locked box on the top shelf. Years ago, I read genetic studies demonstrating one in eight Koreans was a direct descendant of the prodigious fertilizer Genghis Khan. Korea starts to heal itself with these photo rituals, before sallying forth on conquest.
