Israel’s Walla: “Did the IOF fall in the mud?”

“While the list of casualties grows longer, it seems that Hamas is getting more stronger. The past weekend was mournful, with 14 IOF soldiers killed in Gaza. It not only brought grief for the fallen and their families but also left the nation feeling the war is far from achieving its goals.

Over 2,5 months have passed since the war began. Perhaps the claimed "long months" needed for a decisive decision have not been counted yet, but it’s clear that enough time, including nearly 2 months of ground operations, has elapsed to assess if Hamas has made significant progress toward its war objectives.”

Al-Qassam (Hamas)

We managed to detonate an anti-personnel explosive device within an infiltrated israeli infantry force in Juhr al-Dik area. Our fighters confirmed the killing of 6 IOF soldiers and the injury of others.

IMPORTANT: Former israeli Deputy Chief of Staff statements:

• Israel waged a war without military objectives.

• We don’t tell the truth to our “citizens” and won’t be able to eliminate Hezbollah.

• The current lying approach means our people won’t return to their homes on the borders.

• Hamas achieved a strategic goal when it said to israel, “I am the one managing the conflict.”

• Gallant’s statements regarding Sinwar are meaningless war propaganda.

• Despite the destruction in Gaza, we appeared as a weak state that can’t defend itself without American assistance.

• A regime that views security as a priority cannot consider the Iranian threat greater than the Palestinian one

Video by Hamas (Al-Qassam) showing launches of several rockets towards occupied territories

IMPORTANT: Update by Yahya Sinwar, to the head & members of the political bureau of Hamas:

• Al-Qassam Brigades are engaged in fierce, intense, and unprecedented battles against the IOF forces, causing significant losses in both their lives & equipment for the occupying army.

• Al-Qassam targeted at least 5,000 soldiers/officers during the ground battles, resulting in 1/3 killed, 1/3 seriously injured, and the remaining 1/3 with permanent disabilities. Regarding military vehicles, 750 of them were destroyed, either completely or partially.

• Al-Qassam have shattered the israeli army, continuing on the path of breaking it, and they will not submit to the conditions of the occupation.

WATCH: I subtitled the video of Abu Obeida’s first appearance in 2004.

It’s remarkable how much the resistance has evolved since 20 years ago. Abu Obeida mentions just 5 rockets, a few mortar shells, and even specifies the number of explosive devices and the count of IOF casualties.

Today, Abu Ubaida's statements only hold estimated statistics due to the large volume of enemy losses. The strength and resilience of the resistance is better understood, by comparing this video and the present.

Where is the Israeli Napoleonic Prussian Spartan super army? They can't handle a 2nd order organization and a territory that is a small canton of Switzerland. Imagine if you had to face Russia in a direct war, the Jews would last 3 days.

Israel cranking up the pressure on Iran, probably in an attempt to get some intervention that brings the US into the war.

BREAKING REPORT: Israeli strike in Syria kills Senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard General Razi Moussavi.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says ISRAEL WILL PAY for killing Moussavi.

We bring to the awareness of the noble and heroic Iranian nation, that a few hours ago in a criminal airstrike by the fake and child-killing Zionist regime on Damascus, Brigadier-General Sayyed Razi Mousavi, one of the IRGC's experienced military advisers, was martyred in Syria.

Congratulations and condolances on the martyrdom of this noble commander, to his noble family and the commanders and fighters of the Islamic Resistance Front. It is emphasized that the usurping and barbaric Zionist regime will pay for this crime.'

Which traitor pig betrayed the location?

Is this topic ( killing Iranian advisor by Israel in Syria )  in right place ? I thought it should be in Russia / Iran relations topic . It is long known that Israel and Russia do work together in Syria , as far as Iran concerned . Israel tells Russia , when and where it will attack Iranians , allowing the Russian people to get out . In this case , I think the same happened . Russia knew . But Russian policy , when it comes to Iran / Israel confrontation is at best neutrality . And at worst , is seeing Iran as nuisance and competitor in Syria . Preferring to have the entire Syrian Cake to itself !

Assad , of course , has no choice in opting for support from Moscow . Iran is in no position ( now )  to replace Russia as military / economic backer . So Syrians will not divert from diktat by Russia either . They will keep quiet .  The problem is with Russia foreign policy . They want their Cake and they want to eat it too . Or as we say , their eyes are bigger than their stomachs ! With the result that , foreign policy becomes counterproductive . Like a greedy man , spoiling his appetite with " hoard" erves , and not being able to eat the main course . The recent joint statement in Morocco , is prime example .

Iran , it is true , can not replace Russia in Syria . It's interests must be therefore be subjugated and moderated within Russia / Syria framework . It can not act alone easily . The solution in Syria for Iran / Russia relationship , is to allow for closer working relationship between the two . All projects must be joint projects , in the economic and political and military and physical space environments . Like a shareholder company .

This means there will be no moment when Iranian General is alone , without similar ranking Russian counterpart being present ! There will be no moment an Iranian civilian project , has no Russian counterparts involved in the project . Otherwise they will have to work alone and suffer the consequences . Russians to retreat to the North pole , to share Vodka with Polar Bear .
