- It became evident last night to everyone associated with the resistance that the ‘Operation of the Fortieth’ has achieved its objectives. Six of the drones directed towards Unit 8200 reached their target and struck with precision, inflicting both material and human losses. The exact extent of these losses has yet to be determined.
- The source is some form of ‘Hudhud, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be the ‘Hudhud drones’ that previously brought recorded footage from within the entity. However, it could indeed be the case.
The resistance, which had been informing its environment, audience, and allies that it was confident its drones had crossed into Tel Aviv, wasn’t initially sure that they had hit and damaged the target. But now, the resistance is certain and it will reveal more details as it receives further data.
- The credibility and honesty of the resistance are among its most important traits. When questioned about the lack of published footage of the strike, the resistance clarified that its attack drones are not equipped for such tasks, and have never previously released footage of their operations.
The recorded footage of targets was typically captured by Mass missiles equipped with cameras that broadcast details of their trajectory until they hit the target. Occasionally, drones designed for filming would capture footage of targets near the front lines when they were struck by Kornet missiles. However, it is difficult to perform live broadcasts from deep within enemy territory.
It’s possible that footage was indeed captured and returned by
Hudhud drones, or the confirmation may have come from a different method for result-verification. But what is certain is that the outcome is confirmed, and when the resistance says it is certain, that suffices.
Over decades, the resistance has built its reputation on this honesty, in stark contrast to the occupying entity, which often incorporates lies as part of its media strategy.
A case in point is the occupation’s claim that a preemptive strike prevented the launch of thousands of rockets at Tel Aviv’s residential areas, a narrative that doesn’t align with the resistance’s principles of warfare or its concept of retaliation. Meanwhile, the resistance’s account of its response was logical and consistent with the public’s understanding – whether supportive or critical – of how the resistance conducts war and responds to aggression.
- The success of the resistance in its response alone explains the recent shifts in the situation of the occupying entity. This includes the retreat from theories of forcibly pushing Hezbollah back beyond the Litani River – an action that should have begun following the alleged preemptive strike, if it had achieved what was claimed, or if the resistance’s response had been unsuccessful.
It also pertains to the attack on the West Bank, which seems to be an attempt to cancel the Oslo Accords and dissolve the Palestinian Authority, and accepting a Gaza Agreement in exchange for gaining full control over the West Bank.
The pursuit for a Gaza Agreement is a result of the failure to enforce deterrence on the Lebanese front, but the hope of success in the West Bank will remain an illusion for the occupying entity, just as the illusion of controlling Gaza.
