To understand the reasons for resistance in Palestine, we must first familiarize ourselves with the history of Palestine and the history of resistance there.

History of Resistance in Palestine

Palestine holds special historical and religious significance. Palestine is the only land that holds religious sanctity for the three divine religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. For Jews, it is the Promised Land; for Christians, it is the birthplace of Jesus and Mary’s home and place of worship; and for Muslims, it is home to Al-Aqsa Mosque, the first Qibla.

It is not surprising that Israel uses this historical and religious background as a pretext for occupying Palestine, claiming it as their ancestral homeland, while the Children of Israel, who are the descendants of Abraham, originally came from Ur, near southern Mesopotamia.

The history of resistance in Palestine, contrary to the claims of Western media, is not limited to Palestinian people’s stand against the establishment of the usurping Zionist regime after Nakba; it is a struggle of the forces of truth against falsehood, a stand of monotheism against arrogance. This war is fundamentally rooted in the inherent differences between these two fronts and will continue until one side is eliminated or transformed into the other.

Countries Allied with the Resistance in Palestine

As the occupation of Palestine progressed, the resistance in Palestine also evolved. This resistance has ignited not only within the borders of Palestine and the walls of Gaza but among all the seekers of justice worldwide, resulting in the formation of a resistance front among countries like Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine. Small militia groups, once perceived as insignificant and powerless, demonstrated their true strength to the world after the events of October 7^th, proving that Islamic resistance is rising again from the ashes of what seemed like a declining Palestine, and that Palestine is indeed the mysterious key to the advent of Imam Mahdi (Peace be upon him).

However, the long-standing and sworn enemy of the resistance movement has not ceased its hostility, employing new methods and a broader scope in this war, making it essential to identify these strategies to achieve victory.
