Many are trying to tell Syrians: “The revolution has triumphed, God bless you, your mission is over, so go back to your homes and sleep soundly!”
Dear victorious Syrian people,
Only a few hours had passed since the departure of the previous oppressive authority, when the “Israelis” rushed to expand their comprehensive aggression on Syrian territory and the Syrian people, with shelling and airstrikes that were the most violent since the October War in 1973. These airstrikes targeted locations, equipment, and weapons that belong to the Syrian people and are part of their strength. The “Israelis” also encroached on Mount Hermon and multiple areas within the Quneitra Governorate. Thus, jumping over Resolution 338, and unilaterally ending the 1974 disengagement agreement, not to mention continuing to occupy our Syrian Golan.

Every additional day of the ongoing battle proves what Kassioun has repeatedly confirmed, that it is not the battle of Gaza alone, nor even the battle of Palestine or Lebanon alone. Rather, it is a battle for the entire region, and part of a major global battle, in which the main hostile party is Washington. It also proves that the greater goal of the fire burning in Palestine and Lebanon is to ignite the entire region, starting from detonating its internal contradictions.
A full year since the Al-Aqsa Flood, and the major events that followed in our region and the entire world, what are the main conclusions and conclusions?
