Smoke rises after the Israeli bombing of Rafah in southern Gaza in light of the ongoing war of genocide against the residents of the Strip (French)

I write these lines as the one hundred and twenty-seventh day of the Battle of “Al-Aqsa Flood” has begun. The heroic fighting on the part of the heroic Almoravids in the Palestinian resistance continues to resist the Zionist aggression: they kill their officers and soldiers, destroy their tanks and armored vehicles, shoot down their drones from the air, and even fire their missiles at the occupied cities. Whoever is killed is killed, and whoever is wounded is wounded, and the enemy does not announce anything about it. All of that, except for his announcement of the sirens sounding, and calling on people to go down to the fortified hideouts. Fearing that some of them might be injured or killed.

Since Saturday (29 Rajab 1445 AH = 10/2/2024 AD), an extremely dangerous matter has occurred, foretelling dire consequences, not for the two warring parties alone, but for the entire region, with Egypt at its heart.

I mean what the Prime Minister of the Zionist enemy announced that he issued a directive to the occupation army to prepare a plan to attack the city of Rafah, claiming that it contains four Qassam brigades that must be eliminated before returning to truce negotiations and exchanging Zionist prisoners in the Gaza Strip with Palestinian prisoners detained by the enemy.

Only a few hours passed until it was announced that the army had prepared and approved a plan for the aggression against Rafah, and that this aggression would begin within a week or two at the most.

Treachery is a Zionist nature

Rafah is the closest city in the Gaza Strip to the Egyptian Sinai. It has an area of ​​151 square kilometers and is inhabited by about 300,000 Palestinian citizens, some of whom are its original residents, and some of whom were displaced there from other Palestinian territories following the 1948 Nakba, and then following the terrible Arab defeat in 1967.

After the recent forced displacement process, after the start of the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” the residents of Rafah are estimated at approximately 1,400,000 to 1,500,000 Palestinians, most of whom are residents of central and northern Gaza, to whom the Zionist enemy announced that the southern Gaza Strip (Rafah) and (Khan Yunis) are safe places for them to leave their homes in the north. They seek refuge in Rafah or Khan Yunis.

Because the Zionist enemy has no covenant, the past two weeks have witnessed desperate attempts by the Zionist army to storm Khan Yunis, but the valiant Palestinian resistance is still waging a fierce war against the aggression forces that prevents it from achieving its aggressive goals.

As for Rafah, the Prime Minister of the Zionist entity announced that the plan to storm it would be implemented within a period of one to two weeks, starting from Friday 2/9/2024. The Zionist trumpets called on those displaced to Rafah to return to the northern Gaza Strip, which was destroyed by Zionist planes and tanks until there was no place left suitable for any... A type of human habitation.

Because treachery is an established nature among the Zionists, the world was surprised by the start of the aggressive actions against the city of Rafah by bombing it with aircraft since the morning of Saturday 2/10/2024.

record position

The countries of the world, including the United States of America (the merciful mother of the Zionist enemy), have warned against storming Rafah, and the warning was justified by the fact that it would lead to massive humanitarian disasters.

The tremors in the Arab world promoted that these warnings are evidence of non-support (blank) for the Zionist enemy, and that this support has limits, which are self-defense, and that the world does not approve of anything beyond the requirements of this defense.

The truth is that these warnings are nothing more than a “record of a position” that does not provide any satisfactory or satisfactory relief. The behavior of the Zionist enemy since the beginning of its aggression in response to the “flood of Al-Aqsa” did not give any weight to any advice from any party that came to it.

The United States warns against a military storming of Rafah, while its legislative council is considering providing the Zionist entity with fourteen billion dollars, urgent aid to enable it to continue genocide and the brutal demolition of people and stone alike.

Not a military picnic

The argument put forward by the Prime Minister of the Zionist entity for considering the attack on Rafah a “necessity” is the presence of four Hamas brigades in the city of Rafah. I think that this flimsy justification would not deceive a sane person.

The Zionist army suffered its greatest defeat ever as a result of failed military plans and the failure to collect information about the Palestinian resistance factions before the start of Operation “Flood.”

Does the Zionist enemy think that entering Rafah will be tantamount to a military expedition in which it will eliminate the resistance forces it claims are present in Rafah?

Does he think that the resistance fighters in Rafah - if their presence is true, as is claimed - will stand idly by and surrender themselves, their equipment, and their weapons to the aggressing Zionist army?

Does he think that the heroes of the resistance - with all its factions - will hand over the people of Rafah, and those displaced there, as an easy prey for enemy soldiers?

Resistance superiority

Any rational person following the issue cannot accept or rely on these suspicions. The leaders and soldiers of the Zionist army have seen with their own eyes how the Palestinian resistance - which is numerous and numerous - outperforms thousands of professional Zionists and conscripts alike.

They saw with their own eyes how the heroic resistance fighters confronted their tanks, armored vehicles, vehicles, and even their drones, and they gained everything that their enemy and his supporters, with weapons, equipment, and men, did not gain.

I am almost certain that what the Zionist enemy will find in Rafah will be no less than what he found in Gaza and the West Bank. Indeed, tomorrow is near for its observer, (And on that day the believers will rejoice {4} in the help of God. He helps whomsoever He wills, and He is the Mighty, the Most Merciful {5} God’s promise God does not break His promise, but He increases People do not know {6}) [Al-Rum: 4-6].

The hadith of the turbulent against the Almoravids is connected, God willing.
