22 Days of War and The Glorious Victory of Resistance.
In January 2009, while the Zionist regime was occupying parts of the territory of the Gaza Strip, declaring that it could not prevent the rocket operations of the resistance with these measures, it withdrew from the Gaza Strip with the mediation of Egypt, and the war that started 22 days ago (December 27) 2008) had started, ended. In this war, according to Palestinian statistics, about 1400 Palestinians were martyred and 100 Zionist soldiers were also killed. Palestinian wounded were about 5,000 people and the number of Israeli casualties was about 400 people, but why despite this number of Palestinian martyrs and the damage done to the infrastructure of the Gaza strip, the supporters of the resistance consider the “Palestinian resistance” the winner of this war? ?
An overview of the conditions before the 22-day war
Reviewing the conditions before the war is very effective in depicting what the resistance achieved in the 22-day war, the events and trends that caused the region to be on the verge of a transformation that was not very pleasing to the taste of the West and the Zionist regime.
Expulsion of Zionists from southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip
In May 2000, when the Zionist regime was forced to withdraw from Lebanon in the south of this country, a new promise came to life in the hearts of the Palestinians, as if the hope was born in the Palestinians that the expulsion of the Zionists was keyed, so there are still 3 months. Not long after the expulsion of the Zionists from southern Lebanon, the fire of Al-Aqsa Intifada flared up in Palestine, an armed intifada that lasted for 5 years, and it was at the end of this intifada that the Zionists were forced to leave the Gaza Strip. With the expulsion of the Zionists from the Gaza Strip, a series of developments took place quickly, which took the Western-Zionist faction by surprise.
The victory of the Palestinian resistance in the political arena and the siege of the Gaza Strip
A year after the expulsion of the Zionists from the Gaza Strip, while Abu Mazen had won the elections for the head of the self-governing government, it was the Hamas movement that, by winning the majority of seats in the parliament, was tasked with forming a government in Palestine. Now the Zionists were surprised and They saw the only way to escape from this situation in putting pressure on their allies in the Fatah movement, so with the pressure that America and the Zionist regime put on the self-governing government and the Fatah movement, the differences between the resistance groups and the Fatah movement and the security apparatus of the self-governing government led them to conflict.
