Gaza | WTNS | Jan 22:The ceasefire agreement, intended to halt the US-backed Israeli assault on Gaza, has solidified the resistance axis’s commitment to an unyielding doctrine: the only outcomes are victory or martyrdom.
In this revolutionary ideology, there is no room for surrender. Until death, there is no humiliation. Rooted in Imam Hussein’s (AS) legendary stand in the plains of Karbala, this belief rejects submission in all its forms.
To deviate from this path is to raise white flags, not as symbols of surrender, but as shrouds for the countless Palestinian martyrs—47,000, mostly women and children—who have fallen over the last 468 days.
A man interviewed amidst the devastation in Gaza spoke words that will echo through history: “Gaza is Karbala. Imam Hussein’s Karbala.”
Despite overwhelming odds, Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza showed extraordinary courage. In the final stages of this brutal 15-month war, they inflicted more losses on the Israeli forces than at its outset. The northern Gaza Strip—specifically Jabalia and Beit Hanoun—served as battlefronts where the besieged population held firm against an enemy that attempted to starve them into submission.
Yet, in just a week, the resurgent resistance had eliminated dozens, if not hundreds, of Israeli soldiers. These fighters were not motivated by leaders like Ismail Haniyeh or Yahya Sinwar, but by a greater cause.
Reports suggest that the true casualty numbers for the Israeli regime are far higher than officially acknowledged. Had this been a straightforward, conventional war, there would be no ceasefire. The Netanyahu regime would have demanded the complete destruction of Hamas.
The martyrdom of Hamas leaders Haniyeh and Sinwar did nothing to stop the momentum of the resistance. Palestinian forces continued to launch devastating strikes and ambushes, repeatedly drawing their enemies into fatal traps.
Meanwhile, the Israeli war machine ramped up its brutality, massacring women, children, and the elderly. The ceasefire was not a gesture of compromise—it was a confession of defeat by the occupiers, acknowledging their inability to continue their aggression without consequences.
Hamas had planned Operation Al-Aqsa Flood (Storm) for over a year, keeping it secret even from allies like Iran, Hezbollah, and the Iraqi resistance. When the operation struck on October 7, 2023, it shattered the Israeli regime’s illusion of military and intelligence invincibility.
The very next day, Hezbollah opened a military front in solidarity with Gaza, sending a powerful message of unity in resistance. Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, unwavering in his commitment to Palestine, had previously rejected any offers to abandon the cause, defiantly declaring that there could be no security for the world while Palestine remained under occupation.
The Axis of Resistance stood strong, with Hezbollah demonstrating that martyrdom and victory were intertwined. Hezbollah’s bravery, especially when they delivered strikes against Zionist forces in Haifa and Tel Aviv, forced the Israeli regime to rethink its grip on the region.
Meanwhile, Iraq’s resistance forces bombarded Zionist interests in Iraq and Syria, enduring relentless US airstrikes without faltering in their mission to support Gaza. The Lebanese and Iraqi resistance groups, alongside Iran, Yemen, and others, demonstrated that the Palestinian cause transcended borders.
Yemen, the most impoverished nation in the region, was a beacon of solidarity.
