Resistance continues to launch rockets toward occupied Askalan

Zionist media reported the sounding of sirens in Gaza Envelope settlements.
The spokesperson for the occupation army confirmed that eight soldiers and personnel working with the army in Gaza were injured in 24 hours, all in critical condition.
Among the injured were a soldier from the Givati Brigade in northern Gaza and two soldiers from the Golani Brigade in the Gaza border area, in addition to two soldiers from the Yahalom unit in battles in southern Gaza.
The spokesperson for the Rabin Medical Center confirmed that four injuries, including some in hopeless condition, were airlifted to the Center from combat zones during the day.
Iraqi resistance reveals new drone
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted occupation forces in Eilat, in southernmost occupied Palestine, with two suicide drones on Monday.
Announcing its intentions to continue supporting the Palestinian people in Gaza and confront the Zionist-committed massacres in the besieged territory, the group said that it is targeting a vital site in Eilat.
This attack marked the first use of al-Arfad suicide drones in the operations of the Iraqi Resistance against Zionist and United States forces in the region. Previously the Iraqi Resistance had depended on the use of its own version of the Shahed-101 drone. Al-Arfad drones resemble the Yemeni Armed Forces’ Sammad line of attack drones, which have been heavily deployed against Western naval forces and the Zionist occupation.
The Islamic Resistance reiterated its resolve to continue targeting enemy forces in the region.
Iraqi Resistance factions intensified their targeting of Israeli forces in May, utilizing a variety of cruise missiles and drones to do so.
Hezbollah leader makes political statement
Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah affirmed that the Lebanese front continues, in various forms and methods, its operations in support of the Resistance in the Gaza Strip and imposes its own rules of engagement.
In a speech delivered on the eighth anniversary of the martyrdom of Commander Mustafa Badreddine, Sayyed Nasrallah underlined that the continuation of the Lebanese Resistance’s operations in support of the Gaza front is “a settled matter not open for discussion.”
He stressed that the entire world “has accepted this fact,” adding that this is why the Americans conveyed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that there is no solution for the Northern front without a ceasefire in Gaza.
The Resistance leader addressed the settlers in northern occupied Palestine who are eager to return to their settlements, calling on them to pressure their government to end the aggression on the Gaza Strip.
‘Zionist regime’ hits a brick
Sayyed Nasrallah explained that evaluating the results of the war requires assessing the battlefield and not relying on Zionist claims about victory, indicating that “there is a consensus on the failure of ‘Israel.'”
He also pointed out that even allies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mock him when he says he is “one step away from victory,” emphasizing that the issue “is not limited only to ‘Israeli’ failure to achieve objectives but extends to include more strategic losses.”
The Resistance leader touched on opinion polls regarding confidence in the regime as a functional “state” and in its army, highlighting that at least 30% of settlers believe that the Zionist entity is now uninhabitable.
The Hezbollah chief considered that the “real achievement” is the failure of the entity, backed by the West, to retrieve its captives or achieve any form of victory, not to mention its inability to protect its ships from missiles launched from thousands of kilometers away.
Sayyed Nasrallah added that the “image of deterrence” within the occupation entity is declining, especially after Iran’s Operation True Promise.
In the same context, he mentioned that senior generals say that Netanyahu, through his insistence on war, “is leading us to the abyss,” noting that they also speak of “daily attrition in Gaza, in the support fronts, and in the economy.”
He added that the entity fears withdrawing from Gaza because that would mean its defeat, which comprises a “disaster” for the entity, indicating that the Zionist leadership “has no vision for the day after the war.”
In light of this, Sayyed Nasrallah asserted that the occupation “has hit a brick and is searching for any image of victory,” pointing out that “Netanyahu wants to invade Rafah to efface the image of defeat.”
As for the mediators’ proposal that Hamas agreed to, Sayyed Nasrallah said that it surprised Netanyahu because it meant his defeat and victory for Hamas (because it fulfilled Hamas’ demands).
Therefore, “the occupation has two options, either return to the mediators’ document, which means defeat, or pursue the [war of] attrition,” he maintained.
‘US deception should not trick anyone’
In a similar vein, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah spoke about the continued US support for the occupation in its war on Gaza, stressing that “even if the United States stops an arms deal bound for ‘Israel,’ it will re-allow it as this constitutes an American deception because what is happening is nothing more than a tactical dispute between the United States and Israel.”
“These theatrics that we are witnessing nowadays should not deceive anyone, as Washington stands with ‘Israel’ [no matter what],” he stressed.
Furthermore, Sayyed Nasrallah maintained that what happened at the United Nations and the International Court platforms is clear proof of the US’ continuous, unabating support for “Israel”, with a clear indication that the US position has not changed at all.
Sayyed Nasrallah also pointed out that one of the most significant results of the war is the entities acknowledgment that it did not achieve victory, highlighting that 70% of Israeli settlers are demanding the resignation of the Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi.
He also emphasized that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the resilience of the people, and the images of the blood of children and women in Gaza and southern Lebanon have shown the true colors of the Zionist regime.
Sayyed Nasrallah reiterated that among the goals of the Palestinian Resistance and the Axis of Resistance declared since the beginning of Al-Aqsa Flood battles was to revive the Palestinian cause, remind the world of forgotten Palestine, and uphold the rights of its people inside the occupied territories and in the diaspora.
“The most important scene that reflects the victory of the Resistance is when the ‘Israeli’ UN delegate raised a picture of the leader Yahya al-Sinwar,” he maintained.
Sayyed Nasrallah pointed out that, thanks to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the Palestinian cause is now the talk of the town worldwide, including at the United Nations, where most countries are demanding a ceasefire.
The Secretary-General of Hezbollah also touched on the protests taking place at universities in the United States and across Europe, confirming that these protests, bearing the name of Palestine, “are the fruit of October 7 and following events.”
He mentioned that some Arab rulers were about to sign the death certificate of the Palestinian cause through normalizing ties with the occupation, which was looming in the coming months.
He also noted that some Arab regimes and media outlets are now promoting the occupation entity as “the only democratic state” in the region.
