Just as Israeli authorities were responding to a Palestinian attack in central Yaffa, missiles from Iran and rockets from Hezbollah began falling on all regions in Israel.
Within a short period of time, the military spokesman for the Palestinian movement Hamas issued a statement congratulating Iran on its response to Israel’s assassination of top Palestinian and Lebanese leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Hassan Nasrallah.
“The Iranian response that covered the entire geography of occupied Palestine (..) dealt a strong blow to the criminal occupation that thought that its rampage in the region and its aggression against its people could pass without punishment,” Abu Obeida said.
The masked Palestinian fighter and spokesman said that the Iranian retaliation was “an exceptional day in the history of the struggle.”
“The fires of the nation’s resistance crossed in the skies of Palestine, and Tel Aviv was exposed to the strikes of the fighters from Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran. This is a call to all the free people of the nation to make a share in the liberation of Palestine.”
Indeed, the nature of the coordinated attack indicates that a year after the Israeli war and genocide in Gaza, coordination between all members of what is known as the ‘Axis of Resistance’ continues to operate at full capacity.
In fact, the latest coordination exceeds that of military arrangements typically associated with the concept of the ‘unity of the square,’ to a high level of geostrategic coordination as well.
The decisive Iranian response, and the interpretation of the attacks by various members of the ‘Axis of Resistance’, as expressed in the words of Abu Obeidia suggest that Israel’s enemies have succeeded in restoring deterrence.
The days ahead are likely to be decisive.
Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)
