Army Radio reports the occupation military has finally admitted what Gaza’s Resistance has made clear for nearly two years, its war machine is burning out. Manpower is exhausted, engineering capacity is at 60–70%, and much of its armored backbone has been shredded by anti-tank fire and explosives.
But the deeper humiliation is how openly the army’s operational lifeline runs through foreign capitals. Bulldozer replacements were stalled for months under Biden’s restrictions, and even the units freed under Trump’s return to office are useless until American-approved armor kits arrive, retrofits that won’t even start until late next month. German export bans are now choking spare parts for tanks, leaving gaps that can’t be filled without Berlin’s blessing.
Every major engineering or armored push in Gaza City is now calibrated not by Tel Aviv’s will, but by the delivery schedules and political calculations of Washington and Berlin. It’s not just dependency, it’s subordination, with the occupier’s capacity to invade dictated by the very Western sponsors who underwrite, arm, and shield its genocidal war.

Statement issued by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
Seven hundred days have passed since the Zionist entity launched its war of genocide against the Gaza Strip, the longest and most brutal war of the modern era, in which the colonial Zionist project merged with full American and Western partnership through political, military, and financial support and international cover, enabling the occupation to carry out its plans for forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, and the destruction of life in the Strip.
This war, which spared no hospital, school, shelter, child, woman, or patient, has been a continuous scene of systematic killing and starvation, targeting civilians, medical teams, and journalists, with U.S. backing and Western cover that helped the occupation persist in its crimes and escape accountability.
The latest U.S. election for delegates to the World Zionist Congress, the self-proclaimed “parliament of the Jewish people” and the body that controls billions in resources for the Zionist project, has ended with Orthodox and hardline right-wing factions tightening their grip.
These parties, aligned with Israel’s ruling coalition and its settler agenda, secured 81 of the 155 American seats, ensuring that the Congress remains a conduit for financing colonization and entrenching apartheid across Palestine.
The election, marred by widespread voter fraud and months of legal wrangling, still delivered the same result: a majority for the religious-nationalist bloc whose agenda mirrors that of the occupation regime.
Even the so-called “liberal” currents, such as the Reform movement, which won the largest single share at 33 seats, remain fundamentally committed to Zionism and its settler-colonial architecture.
The scale of the stakes is massive. Over the next five years, the Congress will decide the allocation of $5 billion to “Jewish and Israeli causes”, in reality, a war chest for the World Zionist Organization, the Jewish Agency, Keren Hayesod, and the Jewish National Fund.
The JNF, in particular, is central to land confiscation and demographic engineering, owning a significant percentage of land inside the 1948 territories and playing a direct role in settlement expansion.
No modern fighting force matches the precision, nerve, and tactical mastery of the Palestinian Mujahideen.
In Gaza, they operate inside an environment saturated with enemy ISR, drones orbiting overhead, loitering munitions on standby, electronic warfare scanning every frequency, yet they maneuver undetected until the moment they strike.
They use the urban terrain not as cover, but as a weapon, converting every alley, basement, and breach hole into a concealed firing position or approach lane.
The occupier’s Merkava tanks, Namer and Eitan APCs, and D9 bulldozers enter believing armor thickness and air support guarantee safety. Instead, they find themselves funneled into pre-sighted engagement zones where every movement is anticipated.
Fighters use multi-layered ambushes: a first strike to immobilize the lead vehicle, sealing the column, then precision Yasin-105 or RPG volleys from multiple angles to force dismounts.
Anti-armor teams coordinate with close-assault units, men carrying satchel or belly charges, to finish disabled vehicles at lethal proximity, often within seconds of the initial hit.
When needed, they employ martyrdom devices in decisive moments, accepting point-blank detonation to guarantee a kill. Escape routes are pre-mapped through interconnected buildings and tunnel shafts, allowing rapid withdrawal before retaliatory fire.
The pattern here is deliberate, disciplined combined-arms urban warfare compressed to a micro scale.
The Mujahideen integrate reconnaissance, engineering, anti-armor, and infantry assault in the space of a single city block.
They strike when the occupier is most vulnerable, during vehicle recovery, crew evacuation, or engineering breaching, turning routine operations into high-casualty events.
Every burned-out Merkava is a broadcast to the world: Western technology and billion-dollar budgets cannot overcome fighters who outthink, outmaneuver, and outfight them in their own kill zones.
Gaza is not merely resisting, it is surgically dismantling the occupation’s ground power, one crippled column at a time.
Following the assassination of Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahawi and several Yemeni ministers in a zionist strike, several factions issued statements of condolence and condemnation.
Across the board, the factions offered their deepest condolences to the Yemeni people, the government, and the leadership of Ansarallah.
🟢 Hamas emphasized the blending of Palestinian and Yemeni blood in the ongoing battle of Al-Aqsa Flood. The movement stated that these "pure and dear bloods that were shed on the brotherly land of Yemen... mix today with the blood of the convoys of our Palestinian people," which serves to "affirm the unity of our nation and the centrality of our cause."
Hamas framed the assassination as an act of "zionist arrogance against all international norms and laws" that underscores the danger the entity poses to the entire region.
⚫️ The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine described the martyrdom as a "badge of honor, pride, and dignity for the leaders of Yemen and its brave heroes."
The statement stressed that this event "confirms the unity of blood between the Palestinian and Yemeni peoples" in their shared confrontation with the "criminal zionist entity, the enemy of the nation and of humanity." PIJ expressed total confidence that Yemen will continue to defend the nation's dignity and "punish the usurping entity for its brutal crimes."
The 2003 meeting between Mossad and the MEK (“Hypocrites”) stripped away any illusions about how Israel wages war on Hezbollah. It’s not just bunkers and missile depots in their sights, it’s the social and economic arteries that keep the movement fused to Lebanon’s population.
In that meeting, Mossad specifically requested intelligence on Hezbollah’s Qard al-Hasan Fund, a grassroots financial institution that provides interest-free loans to low-income Lebanese, especially women.
These aren’t speculative investments; they are survival lines, microloans to keep households afloat, restart small businesses, cover school fees, or pay off predatory debt.
The fund operates across sectarian lines, weaving Hezbollah into the civic fabric not as a temporary benefactor but as a permanent pillar of stability.
For Tel Aviv and Washington, this is the real center of gravity. Qard al-Hasan isn’t a front company for arms deals; it’s the civilian spine of Hezbollah’s support system. Targeting it is hybrid warfare in its purest form: starve the civilian base, fracture the trust economy, and hope the military wing withers without it.
The recent airspace closure and announced trade cutoff over Gaza are part of a choreography, signaling to the domestic base, the wider Muslim world, and partners in Asia and the Gulf that Türkiye can confront Israeli policy when it chooses.
But maritime trackers show the economic umbilical cord hasn’t been cut. Turkish-owned vessels like the KAAN DEVAL and KAPTAN ERDOGAN have continued to sail toward Haifa, sometimes under vague “ORDER” AIS destinations or indirect routing.
This fits a long-standing pattern: when Ankara limits direct channels, exports are re-routed through intermediaries or mislabeled as bound for the Palestinian Authority, allowing commerce to continue while Erdoğan claims the political capital of confrontation.
For Erdoğan, this duality is pragmatic. Publicly challenging Israel boosts his credibility on the Arab street and strengthens his bargaining position with Washington and Brussels. Quietly maintaining selective economic ties preserves revenue streams, industrial contracts, and leverage over Israeli policy. Israel, for its part, benefits from these flows blunting the material impact of Turkish hostility.
The result is an adversarial optics–transactional reality model: Ankara and Tel Aviv may clash rhetorically and even diplomatically, but neither is willing to fully sever profitable and strategically useful ties. The ships at sea tell the story, beneath the rhetoric, the relationship remains one of calculated interdependence.
