Iran’s Khamenei praises Hamas, cautions against severe retaliation in Israel war.
Hamas Inflicts “Irreparable” Defeat on Israel, Says Iran’s Supreme Leader
“From the military and intelligence aspects, this defeat is irreparable,” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told an audience of Iranian military cadets, per Iranian media. “It is a devastating earthquake. It is unlikely that the usurping regime will be able to use the help of the West to repair the deep impacts that this incident has left on its ruling structures.”
Iran’s Role in the Hamas Attack
Iran has long supported Palestinian terrorist organizations like Hamas and Lebanese Hezbollah. While there are questions about Iran’s involvement in the recent Hamas attack, Khamenei denied direct responsibility.
“We kiss the foreheads and arms of skillful and intelligent designers and Palestinian youth, but those who say that the recent epic is the work of non-Palestinians suffer from miscalculation,” Khamenei said.
There are conflicting accounts of Iran’s role in the attack, but U.S. and European observers acknowledge Iran’s general support for terrorists. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared a war against Hamas, calling it a clash of civilizations.
“And just as the forces of civilization united to defeat ISIS, the forces of civilization must support Israel in defeating Hamas,” Netanyahu said. “In fighting Hamas, Israel is not only fighting for its own people. It is fighting for every country that stands against barbarism. Israel will win this war, and when Israel wins, the entire civilized world wins.”
Israeli Response and Warning
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a complete siege of the Gaza Strip, urging Palestinian civilians to evacuate city centers. Hamas warned that Iran and Hezbollah would join the battle if Gaza faced annihilation.
“We are putting a complete siege on Gaza,” Gallant said. “No electricity, no food, no water, no gas — it’s all closed. We’re fighting animals and are acting accordingly.”
Deadly Terrorist Attack and Israel’s Response
Hamas raiders took hostages and caused significant casualties. The attack and Israel’s response have resulted in the deaths of both Israelis and Palestinians.
“A senior Israeli government source said Monday that Israel has indications that Iran pushed Hamas into carrying out its massive infiltration and deadly assault, and that Iran was also pushing Hezbollah to be ready for conflict with Israel,” the Times of Israel reported.
Iran’s Prediction and Palestinian Determination
Khamenei predicted that Israeli military operations would backfire, leading to a greater disaster for Israel. He emphasized the Palestinian people’s determination to respond to these crimes.
“The calculation of the illegitimate regime and its supporters in this regard is also wrong,” he said. “The rulers and decision-makers of the Zionist regime and their supporters should know that these actions will bring a greater disaster upon them, and the Palestinian people, with a firmer determination, will slap their hideous faces harder in response to these crimes.”
How has the recent Hamas attack on Israel impacted the country’s security infrastructure and defensive measures?
, we must unite to defeat Hamas,” Netanyahu said.
Impact of the Hamas Attack on Israel
The recent Hamas attack on Israel has had a profound impact on the country. The firing of rockets into Israeli territory has caused widespread panic and fear among the Israeli population. The Iron Dome missile defense system has been working tirelessly to intercept and destroy as many rockets as possible, but some still manage to get through, causing casualties and damage.
The attack has also exposed vulnerabilities in Israel’s security infrastructure. Despite its advanced military capabilities, Israel has struggled to effectively defend against the barrage of rockets. This has led to questions about the effectiveness of their defensive measures and calls for increased investment in security systems.
The psychological impact of the attack should not be underestimated either. The constant threat of rocket fire leaves Israelis living in fear and uncertainty. It disrupts daily life and hampers economic activity in affected areas. Children and families are forced to seek shelter and live in constant fear of violence.
International Response
The international community has reacted differently to the Hamas attack on Israel. While some countries, particularly those with strong ties to Israel like the United States, have expressed support for Israel’s right to defend itself, others have condemned Israel’s response as disproportionate and called for an immediate ceasefire.
The United Nations has called for de-escalation and the protection of civilians on both sides. The European Union has also urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint and work towards a ceasefire. However, the response from regional powers like Iran and Turkey has been more supportive of Hamas, criticizing Israel’s actions and calling for stronger measures against the Israeli government.
The Future of Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
The recent Hamas attack and the subsequent Israeli response have only deepened the existing divide between Israelis and Palestinians. The prospects for a peaceful resolution to the conflict seem increasingly distant.
Both sides have their own narratives and grievances, making it difficult to find common ground. The continued cycle of violence and retaliation further erodes trust and perpetuates a cycle of hatred and animosity.
Ultimately, a sustainable and lasting peace can only be achieved through dialogue, compromise, and a genuine commitment to understanding and respecting the rights and aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians. The international community must play a constructive role in facilitating meaningful negotiations and supporting efforts towards a just and lasting solution.
Conclusion
The recent Hamas attack on Israel has had a devastating impact on the country and its people. The barrage of rockets has caused casualties, damage, and widespread fear among the Israeli population. It has also exposed vulnerabilities in Israel’s security infrastructure and sparked a debate about the effectiveness of defensive measures.
The international response to the attack has been mixed, with some supporting Israel’s right to defend itself and others calling for an immediate ceasefire. The prospects for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remain uncertain, with deep divisions and mistrust persisting between the two sides.
Ultimately, a sustainable and lasting peace can only be achieved through dialogue and a genuine commitment to understanding and respect. The international community must play a constructive role in facilitating negotiations and supporting efforts towards a just and lasting solution for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
