Amidst confirmations from leaders of the Jihad and Resistance Axis regarding the inevitability of a military response to the recent series of Zionist attacks and crimes in the region, particularly the assassination of martyr Ismail Haniyeh, the Zionist entity is experiencing unprecedented panic and alertness.
This state is marked by confusion and uncertainty about the effectiveness of the defensive measures undertaken by a coalition of international and regional countries to counter the Axis’s response. This reflects, once again, the enemy and its patrons’ realization of their loss of deterrence and the futility of their aggressive actions in regaining it, even temporarily.
According to the Hebrew newspaper “Israel Hayom,” the enemy’s army has been “deploying air defense systems as widely as possible in anticipation of attacks from different countries” and conducting intensive aerial patrols by the air force for days.
The newspaper also indicated coordination with the US Central Command and what it called “the international coalition that helped counter the Iranian attack last April,” referring to several Arab and European countries.
The United States has announced the dispatch of new naval forces to the region.
From the outset, it was clear that the Zionist entity initiated its new aggressive plan by assassinating resistance leaders, relying on these defensive measures, hoping they would mitigate any military response received.
However, this time it quickly collided with the reality that regional and international defenses are not the essence of the matter and that the Iranian attack during the historic “True Promise” operation was not the full extent of what the Resistance Axis could do. Leaders’ statements carried many indications that the response this time would be different and more significant in terms of results and damages. Additionally, regional support fronts will not merely bolster the Iranian attack as in the “True Promise” operation; the response this time will be regional and joint in every sense of the word, with Iran at the forefront.
It can be said that the Resistance Axis has carefully studied the reaction of the Zionist entity and its partners during the “True Promise” operation to achieve a breakthrough in the upcoming response that surpasses enemy defensive measures to the fullest extent possible. This means that while the enemy seeks to repeat the same approach, the Axis is preparing a surprise.
These indications have not escaped the attention of American and Israeli officials, who were quoted by various American media reflecting clear confusion and a noticeable absence of the “illusory deterrence euphoria” they had indulged in for several days after carrying out the assassination crimes in Tehran and Lebanon. These officials expressed uncertainty about the nature of the upcoming response and whether it would be unified or not.
This panic was clearly evident in some preventive measures the enemy entity is trying to implement in anticipation of the response, such as providing officials with satellite-linked phones “preparing for a scenario where a concentrated attack on energy facilities leads to power outages and the collapse of the communications network,” as revealed by the Hebrew newspaper “Calcalist.”
The newspaper also mentioned that “if such a scenario occurs, Israelis might find themselves cut off from cellular communications, through which the Home Front Command is supposed to convey defensive instructions based on current assessments of the situation and developments on the ground,” highlighting the confusion and disorder this measure reflects within the enemy government.
This panic strongly confirms that the enemy’s attempt to “restore deterrence” through criminal assassinations in Iran and Lebanon and bombings in Yemen and Iraq has not succeeded. Instead, it has opened the horizon for more counterproductive repercussions that could shatter what remains of the “Israeli power” image.
The Axis’s strikes reaching their targets in the upcoming response will leave the enemy more exposed, completely dashing its remaining hopes pinned on Arab and Western defensive belts, signaling the entry into a new phase where the state of alert and panic within the enemy entity may become a permanent condition.
