Operation Al-Aqsa Storm put the Israeli regime on the brink of extinction and dealt an irreparable blow to the Zionist project in Palestine, says the secretary-general of Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the operation shook the foundations of the regime.
He made the remarks during a Wednesday televised address to a virtual gathering of resistance leaders ahead of the International Al-Quds Day, the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan.
What is happening today in Palestine, the region, and the world, Nasrallah said, is a flood in every sense of the word.
Nasrallah said nobody in the occupied territories talks of a “greater Israel” project anymore. This is one of the achievements of the October 7 operation, he said, as well as previous anti-Israel operations in Lebanon and Gaza that led to the withdrawal of Israel from southern Lebanon and Gaza in the 2000s.
Nasrallah praised the courage and creativity of the Palestinian resistance. The people of Gaza created, with their steadfastness, a historical epic whose parallels are rare, he said.
The Hezbollah chief also hailed anti-Israel operations by the resistance in Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon and their perseverance despite threats and pressures.
Nasrallah underscored Iran’s support for the Axis of Resistance in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq.
Syria was another highlight of Nasrallah’s remarks. The Hezbollah leader said all the bombings, threats, and intimidation attempts over the past few months had not changed Syria’s standing with the resistance groups in the region.
‘Iraqi resistance to expand operations’
During the same televised event, Secretary-General of Iraq’s Al-Nujaba Movement Sheikh Akram al-Kaabi said the Iraqi resistance is an essential element of the Axis of Resistance.
He said the Nujaba have managed to successfully hit Israeli bases in the occupied Golan Heights and crucial targets near the Dead Sea, Ashdod, Haifa, and the port of Um al-Rashrash (Eilat).
The Axis of Resistance, Kaabi said, has managed to challenge the hegemony of the United States using a limited amount of capabilities.
Kaabi said the United States and Israel targeted women and children in Gaza using all types of bombs but could not bring them to their knees.
What happened in Gaza and the world rightfully proved the vision of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei regarding the demise of the US hegemony and the collapse of the Zionist entity, he said.
Kaabi said the Iraqi resistance will not overlook the role of the United States, which is the main supporter of the Israeli regime, and will continue to fight the American occupation in Iraq.
