These are the words of martyr Basel Al-Araj from the last time the Zionist army conducted a ground op in Gaza - and they are just as valuable today.

We must not fall for the propaganda that paints the picture of victory through photos and videos. This is not classical warfare 🧵

The resistance cannot fully stop Zionist tanks and armor from advancing into parts of Gaza, nor did they ever plan to - they have them exactly where they want them, and will make sure the price they pay for being there is unbearable for them.

The daily ambushes against tanks and APCs and soldiers hiding in ruined buildings will continue and grow; the men of the resistance emerge from beneath the ground and from above it, complete their missions and disappear again.

This is not Ukraine; front lines mean nothing in guerilla warfare. The battle is one of attrition, and the resistance will make the occupation pay a harsh price for every day it spends in Gaza, until it is forced to retreat its broken, defeated army out of there.

The Zionist army claims to encircle Gaza city, but the reality is the they are themselves encircled, from beneath the ground.

Even as they pose for their propaganda pictures intended to make the world believe they have accomplished anything, they sink deeper into Gaza’s sands.

The resistance has not used anywhere near the extent of its power; it holds back weapons, capabilities, even its special forces - where are the elite units of Al-Qassam? Where are the tens of thousands of fighters?

Awaiting the time to emerge - there is no call for them yet.

Just as they posed for their pictures in 2014 and left in humiliating defeat so too again God-willing will the Zionist army be broken and defeated, this time around even more resoundingly, in a defeat that began on October 7th and only grew worse for them with each passing day.
