According to Al-Mayadin, the Zionist regime has been trying to paint a deterrent picture of the army and its military capabilities since 1948, when it occupied Palestine; So that there is panic between the Arabs and the Muslims and they are convinced that Israel is an invincible being.
The Zionists in 1948 and 1967 managed to show this picture to some extent, but after the October 1973 war they realized that the powerful face of the regime’s army had been shaken, so the Zionist enemy after the invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and the occupation of the south. It sought to restore its military prestige; But the Lebanese resistance defeated all the hegemony of the Zionists and expelled them all from Lebanon in a humiliating way.
Once again in 2006, the Zionist regime launched aggression against Lebanon to make up for its previous defeat, but once again it was forced to leave Lebanon with a new humiliation. A year earlier, in 2005, the Palestinian resistance, displaying its most prominent military capabilities, forced the Zionist enemy to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and dismantle the regime’s settlements in the region.
After retreating from the Sinai Desert and southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, the Zionist regime established its policies to protect the Camp David Accords with Egypt and to try to normalize relations with the Arab regimes. Of course, the Zionists were very successful in establishing relations with the reactionary Arab regimes, especially in the Persian Gulf.
As for the military confrontation and the countries that are not willing to normalize relations with Israel at all, as well as the axis of resistance, the Zionists adopted the strategy of “war between wars”, but this strategy has so far had no success against the Lebanese resistance groups and Hezbollah and the Palestinian resistance. Has not registered and has not achieved the intended goals of Tel Aviv.
But in the face of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance, the Zionist enemy used the method of sudden attacks and intimidation, thinking that the resistance commanders would lose control of the situation in such a situation, and that the shock of heavy casualties, both quantitatively and qualitatively, would Leads to the surrender of the resistance. But all these plans were tragically defeated in the July 2006 war with Hezbollah and the battle of the Sword of Jerusalem in May of this year with the Palestinian resistance.
As a result of these failures, Israel resorted to alternative programs; Of course, not with the aim of destroying the resistance, but restraining and suppressing its capabilities, as well as changing the rules of the conflict in its favor. As mentioned, Israel’s most famous strategy in this regard is war between wars, which also failed.
At the internal level of Palestine and the Gaza Strip, the resistance, especially in recent years, has succeeded in consolidating its project and recording its equation of deterrence against the enemy; The Zionists do not dare to attack or think of occupying Gaza at all, nor do they see the unprecedented advancement of Palestinian military capabilities in the history of the conflict with the Zionist enemy and the significant advancement in the command of Palestinian resistance groups to defend the rights of the people of this land. And we are its principles and sanctities.
The four wars between 2008 and 2021 between the Palestinian resistance and the Zionist regime, which ended with the Palestinians’ victory in the recent Gaza war, marked a significant strategic shift in the resistance’s military thinking, moving it from a defensive to an offensive state. Able to surprise the enemy. The most important result of this strategy was that the Zionist enemy lost the initiative to attack, which he had always been proud of.
But on the Lebanese front, Hezbollah has succeeded in establishing rules so that the enemy does not dare to commit any aggression against Lebanon; Especially since he is well aware of the quantitative and qualitative capabilities of Hezbollah.
In fact, the Zionist enemy no longer has the privileges it was proud of in the world, and the conditions it now faces include the weakness of the deterrent system, the inability to impose rules of conflict in its favor, the dramatic reduction of surprise plans, and the loss of The initiative to attack is the failure to achieve its goals and the failure to prepare ground forces, which has led it to rely specifically on its military air force, which can not guarantee the regime’s victory in future wars.
On the other hand, the Resistance has succeeded in developing its military capabilities and field and intelligence experiences, which show itself in improving the equations of deterrence and rules of engagement and taking the initiative to start a war and high combat will, accordingly. The next confrontation between the resistance and the Zionist enemy will be completely different from previous periods.
