Zionist regime’s crimes have crossed the red lines, which may force everyone to take action. Washington asks us to not do anything, but they keep giving widespread support to Israel. The US sent messages to the Axis of Resistance but received a clear response on the battlefield.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday warned that the war in Gaza was "going to be long".
He said the goals of the war were to destroy Hamas and return the hostages Hamas took on October 7 and still held in Gaza. Netanyahu confirmed he spoke with family members of the hostages, and said he vowed to them that he would exhaust all options to return their loved ones home.
Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said in a statement that his country had entered “a new phase in the war”. The official said Israel "attacked above ground and below ground. We attacked terrorist operatives at all levels, in all places. The instructions to our forces are clear: the operation will continue until a new order is given.”
