100%. The psychological blow this attack has dealt Israel cannot be overstated. They can no longer sit back and pretend the status quo will serve them to the end of time. Israelis have been captured by Palestinians, settlements burned, walls breached. So long as Palestine lives, Israel in one way or another will never be safe; they are finally beginning to realise this fact.

This is par for the course with Israel. They have a whole thing called "The Hannibal Directive" that basically says it's better to kill IDF soldiers ourselves than have them captured by Palestinians. It's standard IDF practice.

Chairman of the Executive Council of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine: —

We are in the position we should be in, and the epics being written by the resistance fighters today in Palestine are the beginning of a new phase.

The resistance fighters in Palestine proved that they are capable of liberating all of Palestine, and their operations warmed the hearts of all Arabs and Muslims.

Netanyahu, the zionists, and all “israeli” leaders will not recover from this shock.

The failure of “israeli intelligence” means the success of the Palestinian resistance at various levels and the accumulation of military combat experience.

The entry of the resistance fighters into the settlements that they thought were fortified and protected and the capture of a large number of zionists is a scene of humiliation that indicates the ability of the heroic Palestinians to take revenge for decades of injustice.

These scenes indicate that the time for revenge and reckoning has come.

The Islamic Resistance’s slogan has always been “March, March, March towards Al-Quds,” and we must always repeat this slogan.

We have witnessed and are witnessing the complete and clear ratification of the statement of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, “The time of defeats has passed and the time of victories has come.”

×Netanyahu thought that with his extremist decisions he could do whatever he wanted in Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque, but the satisfactory answer came to him from the “Al-Aqsa Flood” that Al-Quds has its protectors and Al-Aqsa has its men and that the resistance can have many surprises.

The battle is not over, and in some results, the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation ended the notion of safe settlements in all of Palestine and is continuing, and what is coming is greater.

This era is the era of armed resistance, blood, martyrdom, glory and pride, not the era of submission and normalization.

The Islamic nation is becoming increasingly convinced, steadfast, solid, and certain that this entity is about to disappear.

This battle is the battle of the entire nation in the face of this enemy, and everyone must engage in the battle to defend Al-Quds and the holy sites.

Netanyahu must know that this battle is not a battle for the people of Gaza and the West Bank only, but the responsibility requires all our people in the Islamic and Arab nation not to be neutral, and we are not neutral in this battle.

The resistance sent a greeting this morning to the Palestinian resistance, and we say that this message must be carefully considered by the Israelis.

Our message to the Americans and the “israelis”: “Your foolishness, O “israelis” and Americans, and your disdain for the sanctities and your transgression of all lines, will lead you to the Al-Aqsa flood, and if you continue in your foolishness, it will lead to the flood of the entire nation, which will drown the entire entity.

Greetings to the heroic resistors, to all the resistance factions in Palestine, and to the families of the wounded and martyrs, and we say to them, “The nation, we are with you, and our hearts, souls, missiles, and rifles are with you, because we are the resistance that originally existed for the sake of Palestine and Al-Aqsa.”

In our dear resistance, we have always longed for these moments in which we clash with this enemy and we are fully prepared and ready when needed.

It all depends on how long this is, how big it becomes. A week long "operation" in Gaza? Israel probably has the munitions ready to go, no need for additional American support. A three front month(s) long war with Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza? On top of maybe a renewed Russian offensive in Ukraine? Then things begin to get interesting.

This day sure has been a long decade, huh?

Artillery forces of the IDF are now attacking with artillery fire the area in Lebanon from which shots were fired into Israeli territory a few minutes ago. The IDF is prepared for scenarios in all sectors, and will continue to protect the security of the residents of the State of Israel

From https://nitter.net/idfonline/status/1710874008319561786#m

⋯ Hezbollah issued the following statement:

דIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

“Permission [to fight] has been granted to those who are being fought, because they were wronged, and indeed Allah is capable of granting them victory.

“On the path to liberate the remaining part of our occupied Lebanese land and in solidarity with the victorious Palestinian resistance and the steadfast and heroic Palestinian people, the groups of the martyr commander Hajj Imad Mughniyeh in the Islamic Resistance carried out an attack this Sunday, on October 8, 2023, targeting three Zionist occupation sites in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms region. These sites include the radar site, Zabdin site, and Ruwaisat site, using a significant number of artillery shells and guided missiles, resulting in direct hits on these sites. Victory comes only from Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.”

Looks like Hezbollah is really doing it. Things about to get bumpy...

Long live the fighters. As soon as I saw I got a pit in my stomach, the insanity of taking on the IDF again, with no supplies, no international support, just a dream; they're braver than I'll ever be. palestine-heart palestine-strong
