Abstract
On the anniversary of the Al-Aqsa storm operation and after the Sadeq 2 operation and the ineffectiveness of Israel's defense defense in intercepting Iranian missiles, it can now be said with more certainty that Israel's deterrence theory has failed in the face of the surrounding environment. Last year's October 7 operation by Hamas after breaking through the Israeli defense wall and completely surprising the Zionist forces in one day caused the most casualties and human injuries, which was unprecedented in the history of the regime. Also, Hezbollah in the northern front destroyed the defense structure of this regime in such a way that the residents of Al-Jalil region were forced to flee to safer areas. Yemeni rockets sometimes destroyed the air defense domes of this regime and entered the occupied territories under Israeli occupation. It was said that Ibrahim Aqeel, the martyred commander of Hezbollah, was also planning to enter the Galilee region and carry out an operation similar to the Al-Aqsa Storm. The axis of resistance is opened. It goes without saying that the Israeli regime spent many years and acquired the latest technological achievements of America and the West, as well as using very expensive equipment and weapons, and by erecting the Iron Dome, Flakhan Dawood, and the Pikan system, it has now made itself capable of intercepting any type of short-range projectile. And he was short-sighted and arrogantly indifferent to the actions being taken in the axis of resistance, such as digging tunnels and stockpiling weapons; Israel believes that this complex defense system has created a sufficient and complete deterrence for this regime.
