In previous years, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza played a significant role in deterring Israel, with a relatively established equation that any attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque would result in retaliation against Tel Aviv.
Recently, after Itamar Ben-Gvir's repeated provocations at Al-Aqsa, some Arab commentators brazenly criticized Hamas, claiming that the events of October 7 led to the loss of Hamas and Palestine's deterrence.
However, just yesterday, two M90 rockets were launched toward Tel Aviv by the Qassam Brigades. The rockets were fired from Khan Younis, and the launch was deliberately executed from conflict zones. It’s important to note that the M90 missile requires a launcher, a truck, and a relatively calm environment for firing. The decision to launch from conflict zones was a response to a new Israeli tactic—daily evacuation warnings in different areas of Gaza, using the pretext of resistance rocket fire. This tactic aims to create a psychological link between Gaza residents' displacement and the resistance's actions, hoping to turn public sentiment against Hamas. In response, Hamas ensured that the launch yesterday, despite its complexity, came from these conflict zones to counter this Israeli strategy. Nevertheless, evacuation warnings were once again issued yesterday for the town of Bani Suheila in Khan Younis.

📌 *A New Round of U.S. Deception Begins in the Region*
🔹 The U.S. is betting everything on tomorrow's Doha talks, hoping to either reduce the intensity of resistance's response with a superficial agreement or delay it, while buying time to further strengthen the pro-Israel front under the guise of continued negotiations.
🔹 In recent hours, the U.S., working closely with Egypt, has carried out two deceitful actions:
First, even before the talks have begun, U.S. envoys to the region, Hochstein and McGurk, are already declaring a deal to be imminent and are trying to sell it at the expense of the resistance’s stance. Yet, similar promises from Washington have been made repeatedly, and in the end, not only were no agreements reached, but the level of crimes and support for such crimes has only increased.
Second, the primary idea from the U.S. and Egypt in tomorrow’s talks is to secure at least the first stage of a ceasefire, even if it's just for six months, with the hope that this temporary truce will lead to a permanent one. The central goal of this plan is to halt the support networks for the resistance at any cost.

The U.S. has approved the sale of 50 F-15IA and F-15I+ fighter jets, along with equipment, spare parts, and various air combat munitions, to Israel for a total of $18.8 billion. Additionally, 25 of Israel's F-15I fighter jets will be modernized.
As I’ve mentioned before, in today’s context, discussing Democrats or Republicans to analyze the current situation in the U.S. is pointless. Power is in the hands of #CentersOfPower, and they are the main decision-makers.
In any country worth its name, in times like these, the centers of power come to the forefront to protect the nation's structure.
As you can see, even when the Democrats are in power, such massive aid continues to flow to Israel. On the other hand, Trump, in every speech after his greetings, talks about the need to defend Israel. This aid will only increase.
I hope the resistance can launch a precise and extensive attack to destroy Israel's 7 main airbases and, if necessary, target 4 of the U.S. Air Force's main bases in the next stages.

● The quadrilateral meeting between the U.S., Israel, Egypt, and Qatar, which had convened several times since last February in cities like Paris, Doha, Cairo, and most recently about a month ago in Rome, will once again be held today and tomorrow in Doha.
● As usual, the familiar group of participants—William Burns and Brett McGurk (new) from the U.S., Abbas Kamel (Director of Intelligence) from Egypt, David Barnea (Mossad), Ronen Bar (Shabak), Nitzan Alon (Army), and Ofir Finkel (Prime Minister's Office) from Israel—will meet with Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman.
● Everyone is waiting for the ideas from the American side.
● Although Egypt and Qatar exerted pressure, Hamas' political bureau in Doha will only receive the outcome of the consultations.
● Netanyahu has given his negotiation team slightly more authority than before, which may be necessary for some progress and flexibility but is not enough to reach an agreement.
● The U.S. is keen to present the outcome and atmosphere of the negotiations in a positive light to influence the resistance's response.
● Any effect on the timing or intensity of the resistance's response would only occur if all of Hamas' conditions are accepted, which is unlikely unless the U.S. exerts serious and tangible pressure on Netanyahu, which again seems doubtful. Yahya Sinwar's leadership of Hamas' political bureau strengthens internal unity.
● The postponement of the resistance’s response with the Doha negotiations is an added variable, but the main factors for the delay are those mentioned earlier. The real and positive outcome of the negotiations would affect the quality, not the essence of the response, though it is not a singular variable, and other important factors are also at play.

Negotiations in Doha: A Quest for “Nothing”!
The high-profile negotiations between the U.S. and Israeli envoys with Egypt and Qatar in Doha on Thursday occurred without the presence or involvement of even a single Hamas member. These talks were less about achieving a ceasefire and more about maneuvering the U.S. into a position where it could either prevent a looming attack by Iran and the Resistance Axis on the Israeli regime or mitigate its impact. Ultimately, the aim was to establish a ceasefire in Gaza before any such attack materialized, thereby freeing a significant portion of Israeli forces currently engaged in Gaza for another battle.
The U.S. regime, in reality, cares little about the people of Gaza or ending their suffering since it is a principal enabler of the Israeli regime's crimes. Washington's attempt to portray itself as a mediator is an affront to the very notion of mediation. In the end, Thursday's negotiations concluded without any significant outcomes. While the Qatari side made few remarks regarding the talks and even the Israelis remained silent, an Egyptian official unusually noted that negotiations would resume on Friday, focusing on ceasefire implementation.
This narrative persists despite Hamas's clear and unwavering three core conditions, none of which it is willing to abandon: first, a ceasefire, prisoner exchange, and the end of hostilities; second, the withdrawal of occupying forces from Gaza; third, the entry of food, medicine, and the reconstruction of Gaza. These are the fundamental demands of the Palestinian people. Shortly after the conclusion of Thursday’s futile talks, a member of Hamas's Central Council reaffirmed these conditions. Husam Badran emphasized that any agreement failing to meet these demands would be deemed invalid and non-binding by the Palestinian resistance.
In reality, the Israeli regime and its Prime Minister made several significant gambles, and they have no intention of conceding them in the form of negotiations prompted by a U.S. President who realizes the dangerous situation Israel faces. Netanyahu made these gambles hoping that the U.S. would fully back him and the Israeli regime, resolving the situation in their favor. However, the Israelis' biggest mistake has always been assuming that, in the event of a full-scale war, the U.S. would join them on the battlefield. This strategic miscalculation may have worked in the past, but it no longer applies today.
Despite the propaganda and noise generated by U.S. and Israeli security and military officials, Iran and the Resistance Axis refrained from taking action on Thursday, August 15. The crucial point, which the West may be reluctant to acknowledge, is that all officials in Tehran understand that these negotiations will never yield results. The demands the Israelis have made over the past few days far exceed what they are willing to concede in Doha.
What is happening in Doha is nothing more than a political spectacle, a show that every U.S. president has staged in the final months of their term for the past three decades. There will be no positive outcome. However, there is one key difference this time: the U.S. is no longer in a strong position, and Israel is not on the offensive. While Israel continues its assassinations and sabotage, this time it will face a harsh response. As a result, Biden is set to suffer a significant defeat in Netanyahu's complex and multi-layered game. Meanwhile, it is clear that Hamas is not taking this absurd charade seriously.

From the very first hours of Hezbollah’s highly strategic response to Israel, I emphasized that this attack was not only a strategic operation but also a painful blow to Israel, the full impact of which will become clearer over time.
Mr. Mohammad Ali Najah tweeted:
"What is the significance of the Galiot base of the Zionist regime, and why was Hezbollah's Arbaeen operation a successful and intelligent move?"
Hezbollah targeted one of the most critical bases of the Zionist regime during the Arbaeen operation, a base of immense importance to the regime in terms of intelligence.
The Galiot base, a hub for intelligence gathering and data analysis, is a highly valuable target. This base houses a major cyber operations center for Mossad’s intelligence services and also serves as a base for Unit 8200, one of the most powerful arms of Mossad.
The importance of this top-secret and highly secure base lies in its location, 110 kilometers from the Lebanese border, deep within occupied territories, and only 1,500 meters from Tel Aviv. Its strategic significance stems from the presence of Mossad’s base and Unit 8200, which conducts field operations related to cyber security.
Unit 8200 is the main intelligence-gathering entity within the Israeli military intelligence directorate (AMAN), and it commands Israel’s cyber warfare efforts, being one of the world’s most prominent intelligence units.
Originally called the “Central Intelligence Collection Unit,” it was renamed “Shin Mem 2” in July 1948, with the role of gathering intelligence on Israel’s enemies through interception and decryption of communications. It later became known as Unit 515, then Unit 848, and finally, after the October War of 1973, it was renamed Unit 8200. Sometimes referred to as the "SIGINT Unit," it is considered the backbone and nerve center of Israel's intelligence community, acting as the main intelligence-gathering and one of the most elite units in the Israeli military.
Unit 8200’s activities are focused on cyber warfare, electronic espionage, and leading the cyber war efforts of the Israeli army. After collecting relevant information, it is transferred to the unit’s central base for initial analysis and classification, then disseminated to relevant military branches and intelligence agencies like Mossad and Shin Bet for further exploitation.
Another responsibility of Unit 8200 is the development of tools for intelligence collection, analysis, and processing before it is forwarded to the appropriate authorities. This focus on advancing technology and cyber capabilities ensures their intelligence superiority. The unit’s activities are particularly concentrated on cyber media warfare, employing cyber armies across various social networks. These cyber armies manage content, create fake campaigns, and manipulate hashtags—essentially, Unit 8200 manages all aspects of cyber warfare.
The Israeli army strives to select the most intelligent young Israelis for service in this unit, which is known as "Israel's Harvard." These individuals undergo daily tests and multiple examinations because they are set to join a unit whose work is linked to the "life and death" of millions of Israelis.
Unit 8200 is also responsible for recruiting agents in Lebanon, often targeting individuals proficient in Arabic and Persian, usually through social media networks.
In his speech on Sunday night, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah announced that this base was not a civilian infrastructure target but a military one connected to the assassination of Martyr Shukr, which is why it was chosen. He further emphasized that the initial target of the Arbaeen operation was always the Galiot base, a critical intelligence base housing Unit 8200.
Hezbollah announced that in the first stage of the attack, 320 rockets were fired to facilitate the passage of suicide drones towards the target. They targeted 11 Zionist bases and barracks, and the drones hit their intended targets as planned.

### What is the Objective Behind Israel's Assault on Jenin?
Since the initiation of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7th, Tel Aviv, in an effort to prevent the activation of resistance cells in the West Bank, has mobilized the military, police, and Shin Bet. From the very first hours, they launched widespread raids across various parts of the West Bank, resulting in the arrest of thousands of Palestinian fighters and the martyrdom of over 100 individuals.
These attacks have intensified, particularly after the four-day ceasefire, as the Israeli regime aims to maintain its offensive posture. The assaults are notably driven by the orders of Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's Minister of National Security, who has been a staunch opponent of even a limited ceasefire. In an attempt to appease him, Netanyahu has granted Ben-Gvir free rein to perpetrate atrocities in the West Bank.
In recent hours, the offensive on various areas in Jenin has escalated. The targeted locations and the nature of these attacks indicate a concentrated effort by the occupying forces to inflict widespread destruction on homes, economic and social infrastructure, including hospitals, roads, and more.
Historically, Israel and its Western-Arab allies have consistently attempted to eliminate resistance forces in the region through direct military action. However, these attempts have repeatedly failed. Consequently, they have resorted to a secondary strategy aimed at creating a false dichotomy between "livelihood and resistance."
Earlier in August, the Israeli military launched a large-scale ground and air assault on Jenin, hoping to obliterate significant portions of the resistance cells. Despite this, they failed to even reach the city's central square and were soon forced to retreat without any tangible achievements.
In recent days, the enemy's focus has shifted to the extensive destruction of infrastructure. The goal is to raise the cost of resistance for the local population, pressuring them to abandon their support for the resistance in favor of economic stability and well-being. The occupying forces believe they can witness the potential success of this strategy in the precedents set in Gaza, Iraq, Lebanon, and even Iran.

### Israel’s Escalating Campaign Against West Bank Resistance: A Strategic Overview
The Israeli regime has recently launched a new wave of assaults targeting the "destruction of resistance infrastructure" in the West Bank. This offensive mirrors the broader conflict during the Gaza war, effectively imposing another widespread war on the West Bank.
From the onset of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7th, Israel has sought to prevent the West Bank from becoming a third front, alongside Gaza and Lebanon. To achieve this, Israeli forces have engaged in assassinations, abductions, and the mass arrest of over 5,000 Palestinians. Moreover, they have systematically destroyed civilian infrastructure across West Bank towns and refugee camps, as was detailed in an earlier analysis published in December 2023, revealing some of the regime's broader objectives.
It is crucial to recognize that this is a daily war against the people of the West Bank. Concurrent with the immediate genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, Tel Aviv has conducted a "slow death campaign" against the West Bank’s inhabitants over the past 10 months.
Regrettably, the resistance and bravery of the West Bank fighters and civilians have been largely underreported in our domestic media. Coverage has disproportionately focused on Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq, neglecting the significant struggles within the West Bank.
In the coming days, I will strive to provide continuous coverage and analysis of West Bank events, akin to our coverage of developments in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. This is a small effort to repay our debt to the oppressed people of this region.
In continuation, I will also re-share an analysis written last summer after the Israeli military's heavy assault on the Jenin refugee camp.

Reports in recent days have indicated that the Israeli regime, facing escalating tensions in the West Bank, is planning a military operation in the northern West Bank, specifically targeting the city of Jenin. The reality is that the Israelis find themselves at a crossroads. They either had to leave the West Bank to its own devices, allowing the arming and intensification of resistance operations while risking ambushes during occasional raids aimed at assassination or abduction—ultimately retreating without significant achievements. Alternatively, they had to launch a military operation; however, this operation must be viewed within a larger strategic framework.

The Israeli regime has consistently sought to dismantle the centers of gravity within the resistance by targeting critical vulnerabilities. In this context, the city and refugee camp of Jenin are perceived by Israel as the epicenter of power in the West Bank. However, the leadership of the resistance has strategically formed armed cells across occupied Palestine and its periphery, enabling cooperation among multiple centers of gravity. This decentralized approach hinders the enemy's ability to concentrate its efforts on a single target.
By reversing the traditional concept of a single center of gravity and instead creating multiple, interconnected power centers, each hub is fortified through internal and external linkages. These connections are primarily based on ideological and social factors, supplemented by political, military, economic, intelligence, and infrastructural elements.

Each of these centers is influenced by its unique physical, environmental, and temporal conditions. Consequently, the resistance creates an uncertain and ambiguous environment that first prevents the adversary from fully identifying all centers of power. Second, the adversary is unable to discern the full range of capabilities, needs, and critical vulnerabilities within these centers. Third, even with complete awareness, the enemy cannot effectively concentrate its forces for a successful attack. Finally, in the worst-case scenario, any miscalculation in assessing critical vulnerabilities or essential needs could lead to a failed attack. This failure would not only spare the targeted center of gravity but also activate other centers within the Quds Force and resistance network, triggering a war across unpredictable surface, temporal, and spatial dimensions, further complicating the adversary's decision-making process.

The question now arises: Is this a full-scale assault, or is the regime testing Jenin's capabilities and defenses in preparation for a more intense future offensive? The level of the resistance's defensive and offensive response hinges on answering this question. Therefore, assuming the worst-case scenario—either a test for a future heavy assault or an intensification of the current operation—it is crucial to reveal the available assets and capabilities within the camp gradually and with patience.
If all available resources are deployed at once, especially when the enemy has chosen the timing and location with full force, the likelihood of these capabilities being detected and compromised increases significantly. Thus, the resistance must avoid prematurely unveiling all of its cards. The primary objectives at this stage should be: (1) maximizing the preservation of fronts, positions, and weaponry, and (2) altering the adversary’s calculations.

The question now arises: Is this a full-scale assault, or is the regime testing Jenin's capabilities and defenses in preparation for a more intense future offensive? The level of the resistance's defensive and offensive response hinges on answering this question.…
Once the enemy retreats, it will then be possible to unveil additional capabilities and launch multiple large-scale operations, thereby advancing previous plans with even greater strength. Some of these revelations could also provide the adversary with a clearer understanding of the resistance’s true capacity.
In conclusion, as discussed earlier, the decentralized and networked nature of the resistance's centers of power prevents the adversary from concentrating its forces to destroy any single one. As soon as one center of gravity is targeted, another immediately steps in to balance the situation, thereby reducing the pressure. Since the beginning of the assault on Jenin, Israeli analysts and media have been preoccupied with the question of whether Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, or martyrdom operations across occupied Palestine will be activated simultaneously. Just minutes ago, news broke of a martyrdom operation in Tel Aviv. The ongoing efforts to strengthen the West Bank and activate other fronts will continue, further exposing the futility of this operation.
🔸 *Al-Akhbar* newspaper revealed yesterday a new Israeli plan aimed at entering Syrian territory, bypassing southern Lebanon, and advancing eastward towards Lebanon. The objective is to sever the connection between Iraq and Syria from Lebanon, as well as cut off the Bekaa region from southern Lebanon. The instruments of this plan reportedly include Israeli military operations, the activation of terrorist groups in northern and southern Syria, the incitement of ethnic minorities within Syria, leveraging Syrian refugees in Lebanon, and mobilizing Hezbollah’s opponents within Lebanon. #IsraelStrategy #LebanonSyriaConflict
🔸 There are three key points to consider regarding this situation:
1. The Israeli plan and the use of terrorists in southern Syria are serious. While some supporters of Syrian militants have rejected collaboration with Israel due to the Gaza offensive, certain factions among the terrorists are advocating for an alliance with Israel to drive Iran out of southern Syria. This dynamic has even spilled over into social media platforms. #TerroristAlliances #IranOutOfSyria
2. Recently, Russian forces stationed in Quneitra withdrew from their positions, allowing the Israelis to construct minefields. In response to the heightened level of Israeli threats, Russian forces have now redeployed from Daraa and the south toward Quneitra and the Golan Heights border, where they are establishing observation posts overlooking the Golan and the occupied territories. Coordination between the Resistance and Russia is crucial in this context, particularly regarding Israeli bombings of Syrian infrastructure and Resistance logistics, as well as border issues in southern Syria. #RussiaInSyria #GolanHeightsTensions
3. The Resistance has not remained idle during this period. In the last month, hundreds of fighters from Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen have been deployed to the Golan front, with varying degrees of preparedness. #ResistanceFront #GolanDeployment

📰 *Heliborne Operations, Clashes, and Captives: Shocking Details of the Masyaf Attack*
✍ Report by *Syria TV* affiliated with Turkey
Private sources have revealed new and shocking details about last Monday’s Israeli assault on the city of Masyaf in western Hama. The attack involved heliborne operations, ground clashes, and the killing and capture of some forces present at the site.
Private sources in the Masyaf region confirmed to *Syria TV* on Wednesday that the recent Israeli assault was not limited to airstrikes. Simultaneously, a heliborne operation was conducted.
According to the sources, Israeli helicopters were flying over the target area but did not land on the ground. Instead, soldiers were deployed via ropes, while Israeli drones destroyed all Syrian security vehicles in the area and blocked the roads leading to the landing site. #HeliborneOperation #IsraeliAssault
These sources further revealed that violent clashes ensued, resulting in the deaths of three Syrian citizens and the injury of several others, including civilians. Syrian security forces reportedly blocked rescue teams from reaching the area, as military personnel were taken to unknown locations. Their fate remains uncertain, while injured civilians were transferred to Masyaf hospital. #CivilianCasualties #MilitaryClashes
According to these reports, a Russian communication center located on “Jabal al-Mashhad al-Aali” (Qasioun Masyaf) was also targeted, injuring a Russian radar expert stationed there. #RussianForces #StrategicTarget
An eyewitness, journalist William al-Ali from Masyaf, stated that residents were awakened by loud explosions that shook the city and its surroundings. The attack was carried out using highly precise missiles that targeted specific locations, including military zones and research centers where Iranian and Syrian forces were stationed. The level of destruction was reportedly unprecedented. #PrecisionStrike #MilitaryResearch
During his appearance on *Syria TV's* “Syria Today” program on Wednesday night, al-Ali noted that the Israeli targets were well-known to the residents, as they had been attacked multiple times in the past. However, what made this attack stand out was its exceptional accuracy and power, as the strikes hit a research center in the "Zawiya" area and other locations near Wadi al-Ayoun, known for its heavy military and security presence. #IsraeliAirstrikes #MilitaryResearchCenter
Al-Ali confirmed that one of the locations between Masyaf and Wadi al-Ayoun was "completely destroyed," and the intensity of the explosions cut off roads for nearly two hours, forcing Syrian forces to reach the site on foot. #Roadblock #Destruction
He also mentioned the targeting of the Masyaf Scientific Research Center, emphasizing that this was not the first time it had been attacked, as Iranian personnel were reportedly inside. The area surrounding the center is heavily secured, with photography and proximity strictly prohibited. Al-Ali suggested that internal leaks or espionage might have played a role in providing precise coordinates for the attack. #ScientificResearchCenter #SecurityBreach
In another dimension of the incident, al-Ali disclosed that Israeli helicopters entered the area after the airstrikes and conducted a swift ground operation, during which they fired at survivors. Sources confirmed that Israeli soldiers captured between two and four individuals at the site, although the exact number remains unclear due to strict security measures surrounding the attack. #GroundOperations #IsraeliCaptives
Following the Masyaf assault, “a high-level investigative committee comprising Syrian Air Defense, Intelligence, and Electronic Warfare commanders was formed to assess the operation and examine the circumstances surrounding it.” #InvestigationCommittee #SyrianMilitary
Additionally, private sources revealed to *Syria TV* that several of Syria's most critical radars and air defense systems had been targeted by Israeli forces in recent weeks. This has severely weakened Syria’s ability to monitor its airspace.

According to these sources, Israel’s attacks destroyed advanced equipment, including Chinese-made JYL-1 and OSS radars, as well as the P-18 radar system.
The recent attack on the JYL-1 radar in the Jabal al-Arba’een area in the Hama countryside reportedly wiped out detection capabilities within a 350 km radius, covering large sections of Syria. Furthermore, the destruction of a P-18 radar at the Jabal al-Arba'een station has greatly impacted Syria’s ability to detect aerial intrusions. #RadarSystems #AirDefenseWeakened

An extraordinary and profoundly impactful interview with Dominique de Villepin, former Prime Minister of France, on the situation in Gaza.
I cannot stress enough how rare it is to hear a former French Prime Minister speak with such clarity and conviction.
De Villepin asserts that France "no longer has a voice on the international stage," citing, among other reasons, "double standards" and "inaction" regarding Gaza.
He describes the silence within France on what is happening in Gaza as a "true scandal in terms of democracy," stating that France is living in a state of "emptiness," leading to its "disappearance."
According to de Villepin, France and the West possess significant leverage to stop the conflict — through arms restrictions or economic sanctions — yet "we refuse to use this leverage, relying on cultural or intellectual arguments that are completely unrealistic."
To claim that "we must allow Israel to finish its war": but what end? What is the goal?"
As a result, he argues that France and the West "will pay the price" for what is happening, losing credibility and legitimacy on the global stage.
Speaking specifically about Gaza, de Villepin calls it "without a doubt the greatest historical scandal since... I hardly dare to name a reference," and considers it a war "unlike any other, as it is the civilian population that is being killed."
He also criticizes the journalist's use of the common phrase "according to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health" when referencing the number of casualties: "It’s not just the Hamas Ministry of Health saying that 40,000 have died. There are likely far more! Far more! So let's not create the impression that this is an unreliable figure. No!"
Perhaps the most powerful quote from the interview, one that truly sent chills down my spine: "In Gaza, bodies are torn apart! Hearts are torn apart! Souls are torn apart! Heads are torn apart!"
He concludes by arguing that "Israel has no political objective, and when you have no political objective, the only thing you can do is wage war... There is a security goal, an identity goal, and an apocalyptic madness — and that explains the catastrophe we are witnessing." America's footprint lies behind it all.

"The reality is that if we liken the Resistance Front to an orchestra, it was General Qassem Soleimani who, as the conductor, orchestrated and led it. After Soleimani's martyrdom, one of Tehran's primary concerns was finding an individual capable of assuming this charismatic, leadership-centered role, able to intervene effectively in crises and manage challenges. Naturally, given the circumstances, certain divisions of responsibility emerged, particularly in the Iraq domain. However, Soleimani’s successor in this sphere was Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, who effectively took over leadership in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, while in Iraq, figures like Ali Shamkhani (at one point) and the Ministry of Intelligence played roles. Yet, in critical situations, such as the unrest stirred by Muqtada al-Sadr, it was Nasrallah’s envoy to Iraq (Sheikh Kaouktharani) and Nasrallah himself who, through meetings and phone calls, restored calm—much like Soleimani had done. Currently, one of the challenges facing the Resistance is filling this crucial leadership role."
