Third post tonight but I'm posting anyway.

Personally, I don't see how the Palestinian resistance has any chance of winning this conflict unless Hezbollah and/or a foreign nation like Lebanon, Syria, or Egypt for instance joins in.

The entity has to exterminate its opposition to ‘win’.

Isn't that exactly what the entity is attempting to do right now? By the constant air strikes against Gaza. By blockading vital supplies like food, water, and electricity. It has been just a few days, and already over a 1000 people were killed. What is that if not an extermination campaign against the people of Gaza?

I don't want to be a defeatist. But it seems that if the resistance can't find a way to make that stop, things don't look well...

For sure, they have some sort of plan. With all the planning and preparation that went into the operation, for sure they have also considered how the entity will retaliate, and prepared accordingly. But I don't know what their plan is now. Reading through the news thread on here doesn't make things look hopeful. Whatever the resistance is going to do now, I hope they succeed.

(Disclaimer that I'm an outsider who has to draw conclusions on limited information. Palestinian comrades, please correct me if I go the facts wrong.)

It's bleak for sure, a lot of people are likely to die in retaliation. I am not minimizing this, but it's been the case my entire life. And somehow in spite of intensive surveillance, a siege and indiscriminate airstrikes Palestinian capacity to fight has actually improved in this time frame.

Look at this in light of previous operations. This is by far the most successful counterattack they have ever pulled off. They are getting better.

And they have nowhere else to go. The entity would have to forcibly expel or industrially eradicate them with like, camps and gas and shit. And I don't think the rest of the Arab world would just watch them do that. We've seen harsh reprisals before. That tactic isn't working in Palestine, this operation demonstrates that conclusively.
