Expert: Israel Fails to Achieve Lebanon Goals

Military strategic expert Nidal Abu Zeid said the occupation army’s statements that it achieved 90% of the objectives of its military operation in southern Lebanon are unrealistic. How wounders whether they are really preparing to end their military operations in southern Lebanon. 

He said the most prominent objectives, return of the residents of the northern settlements, have not been achieved. On the contrary he pointed out there has been a displacement movement of residents of many areas in the northern Israeli settlements due to continuing military strikes by Hezbollah.

Abu Zeid added to Jordan 24 that the occupation is preparing, through the media, to end the war with Hezbollah after the latter targeted three crucial military factories, namely the Rafael factory for manufacturing armor, Yudifat factory for manufacturing aircraft spare parts, and the Lama factory for manufacturing parts for air defense systems, 135 km from the Lebanese border.

 He pointed out Hezbollah’s target bank has details and accurate information about important Israeli sites and is working on them on a “gradual equation.”

Regarding what is happening in Gaza, Abu Zaid pointed out the Israeli army established a new axis in north Gaza, parallel to the Netzarim axis and the Philadelphi axis. 

Thus it is dividing Jabalia from Gaza city, which means re-engineering the geography and demographics of Gaza to enable its occupation forces to repeat the West Bank model by ensuring the ability to move within the Strip in the way it wants.

Bernie Sanders Says Israel is Despicable

Independent US Sen. Bernie Sanders sharply denounced Israel’s ongoing blockade of the besieged Gaza Strip, and its plan to greatly expand the war and occupy the coastal enclave.

“64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine. Children are starving,” Sanders said in a statement posted on X. “Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza and put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.”

Earlier in the day, Israel’s Security Cabinet unanimously approved a plan to expand its ongoing military onslaught on the Gaza Strip and occupy territories inside the enclave.

In a statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the Cabinet approved “the operational plan” submitted by army chief Eyal Zamir to “defeat (Palestinian group) Hamas” and for the return of Israeli captives held in Gaza.

According to the statement, the plan requires the army “to conquer Gaza and hold the territory under its control.”

Israeli Channel 12 reported that the plan also includes the forcible relocation of Palestinians from northern Gaza to the south, according to Anadolu.

More than 52,500 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
