This is the era of liberation through lived and tangible realities. The Al-Aqsa Storm operation is miraculous in its outcomes and implications.
The resilience and resistance of Gaza for nine months have inflicted losses on Israel, its army, and society, exposing its falsehoods, restoring the centrality of the Palestinian cause, toppling Israel’s narrative about the Holocaust, and igniting a historical movement among youth and students in America and Europe demanding the return of Palestine to its people.
The Lebanese Islamic resistance fine-tuned the support and engagement front, achieving strategic gains, altering the balance of power, turning the Galilee and Golan into a single front under unified military command, securing operational control over a theater extending from Tiberias and Safed to Acre, and revealing a stockpile of sophisticated, precise, and destructive weapons and drones capable of targeting any valuable objective across all of Palestine.
Yemen, the jewel of the resistance axis, is waging war as a central power, closing seas and straits, reaching the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, engaging with the Americans, NATO, and their allies, proving legendary competence and capability, and achieving gains that alter the conditions of nations, empires, and global trade.
Iran has engaged, confirmed its seriousness and capabilities, and readiness for battle if imposed upon it or decided by the axis.
Iraq is present and a partner, selecting its targets at the right time, enhancing participation in coordination and integrated operations with Yemen. Syria is a support front, in a state of war, and has completed preparations for the hour of action.
Nine months of the miraculous flood and the legendary Gaza war are immensely valuable and will be the most precious in the history of Arabs, Muslims, the region, and the world for the events, developments, and historical and strategically transformative changes they will produce.
The Jaffa (Yafa) mission carried many messages when it struck a sensitive building as a strategic target in the heart of Tel Aviv, in the most important and heavily guarded area with security, electronic, and air defense systems.
The messages from Yafa to Tel Aviv include:
1. We are serious and capable; from Yemen, over 2,000 kilometers away, we reached Jaffa (Yafa) and struck 100 meters from the US embassy, despite NATO naval forces, missile shields, and bases in Arab countries, perhaps with some participation – imagine if the Yafa drone had launched from Lebanon or Syria, how long would it take, and who could intercept it if it flew for ten hours and arrived.
2. The resistance axis is one body and mind, conducting the war through a joint operations room, creatively distributing roles and tasks. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah threatened and raised the stakes, Yemen executed, and certainly, the reverse will happen if Yemen is subjected to aggression and risks. All of Israel is now a hostage to the axis.
3. If Yemen is capable and acted, placing its threats into execution without hesitation, what about the other fronts with their geographical proximity, theaters, drones, and weapons no less significant than those Yemen possesses? Any weapon held by one party reaches the hands of all, each enhancing and developing.
4. The unity of arenas and fronts is solid, resilient, combative, principled, and ideological, with no challenge capable of breaking it; each challenge strengthens its bonds.
5. Netanyahu’s stubbornness and folly in committing massacres in Gaza, his bravado, blocking ceasefire possibilities, and challenging Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s warning result in catastrophic outcomes for Israel. The resistance in Gaza is proficient and fortified, managing its war with control and command, creatively fine-tuning in Lebanon, and with high capabilities and morale in Yemen, reaffirming victory for Gaza and Hamas in every instance, otherwise, let the war rage.
6. Yafa told Tel Aviv bluntly and with fire, there is no escape. You declared it a war of existence; if defeated, you have no place in the region. Haifa’s decision and message will defeat you, so prepare and hasten your departure.
7. The Yafa mission is a slap in the face of rulers, regimes, governments, factions, and silent and timid forces that squandered trillions of dollars buying weapons to save their factories in the West but only used them against their people and the resistance axis. Meanwhile, starving Yemen and besieged, devastated Gaza create miracles with almost negligible resources.
The most important and valuable message is that the Yafa mission and the power of the axis and its fronts, the revealed capabilities and types of weapons, and what its leaders say about these capabilities now obligate it to fulfill its promise of liberating Al-Aqsa and praying there. If the axis does not act after the war has proven its position and capabilities, it will lose its legitimacy, the justification for its arms and wars, and be responsible for prolonging the war and suffering, leaving a weak and incapacitated Israel to kill, destroy, and annihilate with cold blood.
The axis has no excuse or pretext to delay fulfilling the promise. The war has imposed itself, Gaza has been devastated and made tremendous sacrifices, Israel is incapacitated and troubled, its army suffering, America is preoccupied with its elections and crises, Europe is engulfed in its crises, Eurasia supports the axis, and global public opinion is matured and now besieges Israel and disavows it. It is illogical for the axis to waste the opportunity and give Israel time to catch its breath.
Jaffa’s message to everyone: It is time to liberate Palestine from the river to the sea, and the task must be completed.
Bravo, Yemen, and your Jaffa (Yafa) mission, how precise and multi-messaged it was.
