Significance of Revenge... Resistance Threatened and Accomplished

Ahmad Sheaito

The Islamic Resistance has discarded all the Zionist measures and alertness that took off after Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah threatened to avenge for the assassination of martyr leader Samir Kuntar. The operation on Monday - which took place near the point where the revenge for the assassination of Qunaitra martyrs took place - came to reassure that the resistance is capable of crossing the Zionist lines and affirming important points which we will be highlighting on in this article.

As soon as the operation took place, Minister of War Moshe Ya'alon, Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot, as well as intelligence and operations chiefs held a meeting in which they assured that what happened on ground was a critical development that has overstepped all the measures.

According to experts, two major headlines highlight the significance of this operation:

First: The enemy has been in a state of alertness for a while now

The enemy is well aware of the size of violation, which was reflected in its environment and media despite silence on the official level. What is eye-catching also is that the enemy's environment considered that what happened could be only part of the revenge and not all of it, as the Zionist papers asked: Could there be another revenge?

At this phase, the enemy is still confused about how to conceive the situation, while sources from its environment considered that the state of alertness should continue so that it would not be an easy target in another revenge.

Indeed, our correspondent reported that even after the operation, the absence of patrols and soldiers was still noticeable and the state of alertness that has been taking place since two weeks was ongoing.

Operation Field

Based on the nature of the operation field, we can notice the following points:

- Advanced technology
- Frequent bombardment
- The region is very well observed, according to experts

Regarding the operation field, the achievement lies in the fact that the operation "took place in a sensitive region at a period when the Israeli enemy reduced its movement and intensified its surveillance, especially on the targeted point which the enemy has bombarded a couple of days ago after its fear that resistance fighters could have penetrated into the area. Despite all that, they were able to sneak into the area and plant a bomb there," according to military expert, General Mohammad Abbas.

Speaking to our Website, General Abbas added that "this confirms the capability of the resistance to surpass all the measures taken by the enemy to paralyze the resistance movement in the regions it has control over, specifically this region, which is under intense surveillance, and since the hills around it overlook the whole area reaching Al-Abbasiyah, Ghajar, Kfar Shouba, and Shebaa."

The significance of this achievement

At this point, it is necessary to point out other elements that add to the value of this achievement. Other than the measures taken by the enemy, the short period of time in which the resistance prepared for the operation was significant, as the revenge took place only days after the assassination.

In this context, General Abbas asked: "What if the enemy weren't in this level of alertness? If the resistance was able to reach this sensitive region... what would be the case in the rest of the border regions?

Ali Sheib, Al-Manar correspondent in the South pointed out that the significance of this operation does not lie in its outcome which the enemy is still concealing until today, but in its location, since it took place on the road that leads to the largest military barrack in Shebaa Farms (Zebdine Barrack), and is surrounded by several military points (Ramtha, Qafwa, Ruwaisat As-Sumaqa, Zebdine, Abbasiyah). The region is also enclosed by a barbed wire and is exposed to combing with artillery shells on daily bases. It is further fortified with surveillance tools and ambushes, yet the resistance fighters were able to break through all these measures and plant a big bomb there.

On the military level in general and the new equations that could be imposed after this operation, General Abbas considered that "the enemy had committed its crime by assassinating martyr Samir Kuntar, then it launched its threats to deter the resistance, especially as it was certain that the latter was occupied and targeted on several levels by the US and its ally countries, so the enemy's leadership thought that the operation could pass without revenge... but instead, the resistance confirmed that the tools of deterrence and the type of confrontation with the enemy are in its hand."
