Following the successful operation, the fighters gather around a plate of fruits to experience a moment of “joy and delight.”
A quick comparison between the narrative of the Resistance at the start of the war and over 10 months later shows that the degree of determination of Palestinian fighters has grown stronger, not weaker.
In other words, it seems that Palestinians have adapted to the war, and are ready to continue for as long as it takes.
This can easily be detected in the language used by one of the fighters in Rafah before launching an operation targeting Israeli soldiers fortified inside the Indonesian Hospital in the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood.
Addressing his message to Israel, “the oppressive, infidel, tyrannical entity that has transgressed against us, desecrating stone, people, and trees,” the fighter says:
“After nearly a year has passed, by Allah, who there is no deity but Him, we do not consider you at all, nor do we fear you even a little bit. We attack you every time because our reliance is on Allah; He is our protector, He is our strength. In what you hate, we find love.”

The language – situated in deep spirituality – the behavior – more emboldened yet confident – and even the body language all indicate a change in the attitude of the Palestinian resisters, one that must be troubling for Israel, which continues to lose the war everywhere in Gaza.
Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
