The head of the "Loyalty to the Resistance" bloc, MP Mohammad Raed, stated that "focusing on images of destruction in Gaza is not a picture of victory, but rather an image of savagery and a crime against humanity, along with a human and collective genocide. It shows a bullying against schools, hospitals, doctors, students, and patients, and depicts the violation and killing of women and children. However, this also embodies a picture of weakness, as the enemy has not liberated a single prisoner from the hands of the resistance." He noted, "Even regarding the two prisoners he rescued with a complex 'Hollywood' operation, it turned out that he paid two million US dollars in a deal to achieve such an image and propaganda, yet he is too incompetent to release a prisoner by force from the hands of the resistance."
MP Raed's remarks came during a tribute event held by "Hezbollah" for martyr Hussein Ahmad Aqeel at the Husseiniya of the town of Tiredbah, attended by a number of scholars, leaders, personalities, martyr families, and a crowd of residents. He clarified that "the Israeli enemy is advancing into Gaza, but it does not establish control at all; ambushes are still waiting for it, and bullets are still being fired at its forces. It cannot settle in the land it has intruded upon; therefore, it advances, destroys, and then withdraws."
He said, "We are at a stage where we are close to thwarting the goals of aggression. It is true that we incur losses and sacrifices, but our duty is to thwart the enemy's objectives, and this is the meaning of victory we aspire to. When we bring down the enemy's objectives from its aggression, and it returns empty-handed and bankrupt in achieving its goals, this means we have defeated it."
He considered that "the Zionist enemy is nearing the end of its road, and no matter how many opportunities are given to those who sponsor its crimes, terrorism, support, fund, and conspire with its aggression, hoping to achieve its objectives from our defeated and crumbling systems — which seek to crush the resistance in Gaza to relieve themselves of the burden in order to sow corruption in our countries and steal our nation's wealth and give it to the oppressors without anyone holding them accountable — this enemy will not reach any result."
MP Raed pointed out that "the Israeli enemy is preparing to enter Rafah, meaning the remaining land into which it has not yet intruded, knowing that it has entered Khan Younis and northern Gaza and subsequently withdrew from them, where Hamas now controls and operates." He added, "It has not managed to eliminate the resistance there, nor has it succeeded in extracting a prisoner from the hands of the resistors. Despite this, it bets on violating Rafah despite the presence of one million and four hundred thousand Gazans there. The whole world is horrified that massacres could be committed so as not to embarrass the Israeli enemy. Nevertheless, they continue to give it opportunities, but even if it enters Rafah, it will return empty-handed, failing to achieve the goal of its aggression. Victory is coming, and it is certain and inevitable for us, because our steadfastness, jihad, the heroism of our sons, and their courage have thwarted its project, delusions, and aspirations. It must relent and retreat, and the accounting continues and is ongoing with it. This war is a back-and-forth struggle between us and the Israeli enemy, and in our wars with it, we will only be victorious by God's will."
