New Phase of Palestinian Resistance, Serious Trouble for Zionist Enemy

The Zionist entity has for some time been dealing with a new phase of Palestinian resistance which aims at the "union of fronts", so defined because it aims to coordinate all the actions on the different fronts of the conflict. There is the Northern Front (represented by Hezbollah in Lebanon), there is the Eastern Front (with Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the other Palestinian organizations active in the West Bank) and there is the Southern Front (with Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza ). These are joined by three other fronts, which are being tried to unite: the internal front (that is, the Israeli Arabs), the Jerusalem front and the prison front.

The new “united fronts” strategy took shape in 2021, during the 1948 Palestinian-led clashes in the mixed cities of Israel following the violent repression of Palestinians in Jerusalem. Liwai al-Qariousi of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in Gaza called for the unity of the fronts on "Quds Day", celebrated every year on the last Friday of the month of Ramadan. After the death of Khader Adnan, an Islamic Jihad activist who died in prison on Tuesday 2 May following an 86-day hunger strike, Islamic Jihad fired rockets from Gaza, while citizens were shot in the West Bank Israelis who caused one casualty.

After all, as early as 2022, as reported by the Israeli website fdd.org/analysys, the Palestinian resistance had demonstrated a capacity for political/military initiative superior to that of previous years. The US weekly Time reports that "As the Zionist regime has increased the number of deadly military incursions into Palestinian cities, so has the number of Palestinian attacks against Israelis." In the first two months of 2023 on the Palestinian side there were 275 attacks with Molotov cocktails, 93 attacks with homemade bombs, 42 attacks with firearms, 8 attacks with white weapons. In this action 14 Israelis were killed, of these only 4 however were soldiers or policemen, the rest were civilians, some of them settlers. There were 16 injured.

The number of Palestinian martyrs who fell under fire from the Zionist military or from extremist Jewish settlers in 2022 is 146. In the first two months of 2023 there were 60. According to the International Crisis Group “Tensions have increased in recent months, fueled by a combination of factors. Among these are deadly Israeli military incursions into Palestinian population centers in the West Bank; killings of Israelis by individual Palestinians; mob rampage by Israeli settlers; inflammatory statements by members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new far-right government and the Knesset; a restless and militarily powerful Hamas in the Gaza Strip; and a Palestinian Authority (PA) that, in the eyes of many Palestinians, has lost legitimacy as its security apparatus begins to break down. A spark anywhere in the occupied territories could set off a chain reaction throughout occupied Palestine."

Faced with the convergence on the union of the fronts and the decision to respond blow by blow to Israeli raids on Palestinian cities, the myth of Israeli deterrence, as explained in an article by Ramzy Baroud, is seriously questioned. To complicate everything there is also the real political earthquake in Western Asia following the agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia which is completely redrawing the map of relations in the Arab-Islamic world by dismantling the structure in the region painstakingly built by the USA and Israel with the Abraham Accords and which nobody talks about today.
