Gaza Must Not Fall: How Hezbollah’s “Hoopoe” Drones Could Shape Future Battles

By – Elijah J. Magnier:

Israeli security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir wrote to the US vice-president and presidential candidate Kamala Harris: ‘There will be no halt to the war, madam candidate.” After a difficult meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, Harris said that ‘the killing of children in Gaza and the repeated displacement is a terrible tragedy’. She added that “what has happened (the number of Palestinian casualties in Gaza) in the last nine months of war is devastating” and pledged to “work to end the war”. In his speech to Congress, Netanyahu declared his intention to reach a “total victory” and ‘eradicate Hamas’ without mentioning negotiations to end the conflict. This was echoed by US National Security Council spokesman Admiral John Kirby, who said that ‘President Joe Biden is seeking an agreement to release prisoners, at least in an initial phase’. This is in line with the fears of the Palestinian resistance that Netanyahu aims to get back the living prisoners to resume the war, destruction and killing in Gaza after the first phase is completed with the release of all the living Israeli prisoners. This led a source in the “Axis of Resistance” to declare that “Netanyahu’s statement in Washington about ending Hamas and preventing the fall of Gaza is a red line and will not be allowed”.

What can the Axis of Resistance, which supports Gaza, do? And what is the connection between the third part of Hezbollah’s “Hoopoe” drone and the future intentions of a long and bloody conflict with no end in sight?
