Afrasianet - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's aggression continues for more than a year on the Gaza Strip and then on southern Lebanon, and the "King of Israel" is still unable to achieve his goals by declaring "absolute victory" over the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) or Hezbollah.
Despite the "euphoria of power and arrogance" that Netanyahu is going through – especially after the occupation army carried out some major and qualitative attacks against the resistance and its popular incubator, such as assassinating leaders and achieving security successes – the obsession with failure and failure still dominates him as he faces facts on the ground that return him to square one every time.
In light of the massacres, killings and systematic destruction carried out by the occupation army in implementation of the decisions of the political level in Israel , questions arise about the reality of the field achievements of the resistance, forming a thorn in Netanyahu's side that worries him and spoils his euphoria.
Apart from the losses in foreign policy related to putting Israel on the international map and dragging it to the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice , we can talk about 7 files in which the resistance has made achievements whose repercussions still directly affect Netanyahu as a person, as well as the pillars of his government, army and the Israeli public.
A tragic price
Since the beginning of the war, Israeli analysts have not stopped talking about the extent of casualties among the Israeli public and military alike, which are estimated at thousands of dead and wounded, as the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that about a thousand soldiers join the rehabilitation department of the Ministry of War every month.
Press reports speak of an atmosphere of pessimism dominating the political and societal scene, amid fears that Netanyahu is "dragging Israel into the unknown," while it is being hit by the resistance in Gaza, Iran , Hezbollah,the Houthis in Yemen and the Islamic resistance factions in Iraq.
Despite the media blackout imposed by the occupation army on the details of the injuries and losses recorded daily, what is filtered in the media alone is enough to worry political and military leaders.
In an analysis published by the American magazine "National Interest", Israeli political analyst Shalom Leibner said that "more than a year after the Al-Aqsa flood attack , feelings of frustration and disappointment still grip the majority of Israelis."
In addition to the casualties, about a thousand Israeli soldiers join the rehabilitation department (Anatolia every month).
Haifa like Kiryat Shmona
Hezbollah's rocket attacks deep inside Israel marked a new course in the conflict, with the party launching the slogan "We will make Haifa like Kiryat Shmona and Metulla."
A state of terror was recorded in Israeli circles following the targeting of Netanyahu's house, as the Israeli Prime Minister's Office confirmed that a drone launched from Lebanon directly hit Netanyahu's home in Caesarea, south of Haifa.
Israeli military sources said that the arrival of the Hezbollah march to a place where the prime minister lives is a complete failure for the security services.
The attack with a march on the Binyamina base of the Golani Brigade in Haifa a few days ago achieved a painful military surprise for Israel, and Hezbollah described the operation as "qualitative and complex," as the march managed to penetrate Israeli air defense radars without detecting them and reached its target.
In a statement, the operations room of the Islamic Resistance, Hizbullah's military wing, confirmed that it had decided to "discipline the enemy and show some of its capabilities anytime or anywhere it wants".
"We are waging a fierce campaign against the Iranian axis of evil, we are paying a painful price, but we have tremendous achievements," Netanyahu commented, while Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy described the attack as difficult and with painful results.
Lebanese media close to Hizbullah said the operations reveal "an advanced intelligence briefing and a tremendous development of the equipment used by Hizbullah, and professionalism in military tactics," especially as they came after repeated statements by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant in which he confirmed that he had succeeded in eliminating most of Hizbullah's missile and drone-related capabilities.
Tens of thousands displaced inside Israel
To avoid rocket strikes from Gaza and Lebanon, the Israeli government has resorted to evacuating thousands of Israelis from their homes, and for the first time in its history Israel has recorded a record number of displaced people.
According to Israeli newspapers, the number of displaced people from the settlements surrounding Gaza and from the border with Lebanon reached 120,000, but the number rises to half a million, as previously announced by the Israeli army.
The presence of these displaced people, whose expenses and expenses are covered by the government during their displacement for more than a year, will exacerbate the economic and moral problems and burdens on the occupation government, which rented them hotel rooms and guest houses, and resorted to setting up tents to shelter them.
According to a report broadcast by Al-Jazeera, displacement has many connotations in the Israeli imagination, as images of those permanently leaving Israel deepen the scene.
Two million Israelis in shelters
Resistance attacks on the Gaza and Lebanon fronts have brought to the fore questions about the readiness of the Israeli home front for rocket attacks, and the attacks have exacerbated the plight of tens of thousands of displaced Israelis, as instead of returning home as Netanyahu promised, they have been joined by hundreds of thousands who are sleeping in shelters.
According to former air defense commander Gen. Ran Kochav in an interview with Israel's Channel 12, more than two million Israelis have been locked in shelters and fortified rooms in more than 190 towns, settlements and cities.
The problem of inadequate shelters, called the "shelter gap", exacerbates the concerns of the occupation authorities, especially with local data revealing the lack of readiness of a large percentage of public shelters.
It also turned out that fortified rooms in houses and apartments did not fully protect their occupants from direct missile and drone strikes, and barely provided protection from shrapnel.
Strike the will to survive
Another scene that worries Netanyahu is the "reverse migration," which poses an existential threat to Israel, which is based mainly on a policy of settlement and attracting Jews from around the world.
According to Nayef bin Nahar, director of the Ibn Khaldun Center for Social Sciences and Humanities at Qatar University, the resistance operations struck the "will to survive" of Israelis, which is based mainly on providing them with a secure entity, to face their fundamental crisis that Israel is an artificial entity from which they can leave at any time to the country from which they came and still hold citizenship.
Although Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics does not disclose the true numbers of Israelis who have emigrated, Israeli newspapers have revealed that about a quarter of Israelis have considered emigrating abroad because of the security situation.
According to a report prepared by Al Jazeera's Elias Karam in August, official figures say that nearly half a million of those who were outside the country before the Al-Aqsa flood have not yet returned, while 375,000 left after the war.
The Times of Israel quoted the Population and Immigration Authority as saying that half a million Israelis left Israel in the first six months of the war.
Armed operations
Military operations – including martyrdom – were one of the most prominent tools of resistance in the face of the occupation, but the resistance refrained from martyrdom operations for a period "according to changes associated with world public opinion and the civilian losses that may result from these operations," according to political analyst Muhammad Ghazi al-Jamal in previous statements to Al Jazeera Net.
However, the magnitude of the massacres that took place in Gaza amid silence and international complicity with the occupation prompted the resistance to reconsider this strategy as an effective tool to pressure Israeli society.
The announcement by the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, and the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, considered the return of martyrdom operations in the occupied Palestinian territory to the fore again in response to the Israeli massacres, the displacement of civilians and the Israeli policy of assassinations against the leaders of the resistance factions in the Gaza Strip as a strategic shift in the battle.
This announcement was reflected inside Israel, revealing a great degree of fear in the security system of introducing explosive devices into the heart of major cities in Israel, which could cause a lot of human and material losses.
In addition, the success of the shootings carried out by militants inside Israel compounds the fears of Israeli leaders about their negative repercussions on the Israeli public, as was evident after the Jaffa attack, which killed 7 Israelis and wounded 16 others.
The director of the Yabous Center for Studies Suleiman Bisharat commented in statements to Al Jazeera Net by saying that such operations show that Israel is unable to control the field in the confrontation with the Palestinians, and that it has failed in the military and security approach.
The figures announced regarding the number of operations announced by the Israeli security - whether they succeeded or were thwarted - reveal the great pressure on the occupation services, as of last August, more than a thousand operations were announced since October 7, 2023.
Untold economic losses
In conclusion, the war waged by Netanyahu has caused huge losses to the Israeli economy, as published in a report by Al Jazeera Net, and it is estimated that the cost of the war exceeded $ 67.3 billion so far, and does not count in this other costs related to the army, such as treating the wounded and providing shelter and shelters.
Fitch downgraded Israel's credit rating, citing worsening geopolitical risks as the war in Gaza continues, amid threats of spillover to other fronts.
At the start of the war, the agency put Israel's sovereign debt rating under negative scrutiny and warned that any major escalation could lead to a downgrade.
