Let us give thanks to the Almighty, Blessed be He, for His kindness and the miracles He has shown us—"When the wicked perish, there is joy" (Proverbs 11:10)!
We haven’t had such a glorious day in a long time! This is truly a perfect elimination of two terrorists, perhaps the highest-ranking in the terrorist groups we’ve been waging a long and difficult war against.
There can be no doubt that both precise and superbly coordinated operations, which ended in complete success, were brilliantly executed by the brave soldiers of our remarkable army.
It is clear that these operations were preceded by long and meticulous work involving the collection and processing of preliminary intelligence, the formulation of the operational idea, the selection of methods for conducting the operation, the preparation of contingency plans, the development of escape routes for the operatives, and more. Additionally, the courageous decision to take this bold step must be noted.
The elimination, carried out not just in Iran but in the capital of the villainous regime, right under the nose of the IRGC, was evidently very complex and involved significant risk. Indeed, it seems that even the Iranians themselves are still unclear about how it was done. Was it an explosive charge or a missile? And if a missile, was it launched from the ground or from the air, from within Iran or from outside its borders, using a drone or a fighter jet, and so forth?
It is also undeniable that the planning for this operation had been in the works for a long time. It is quite possible that immediately following the death of the previous Iranian president, the idea arose to eliminate Haniya during the inauguration of the new president. If so, intelligence gathering likely began at that point regarding Haniya’s whereabouts, possible methods of elimination, alternative options, how to ensure the operatives’ escape routes, and more. Additionally, it was necessary to conduct drills as close to reality as possible.
Astonishing synchronization must also be highlighted—the two elimination operations were carried out just a few hours apart!
We undoubtedly see the miraculous assistance from Above in the success of both eliminations. It is also clear that these eliminations together delivered a mortal blow to all of Israel’s haters around the world. They are undoubtedly still in shock.
The fact that the leader of Hezbollah, Nasrallah, has yet to officially respond to the killing is telling. Hamas, for its part, can now only threaten and shake its fists but cannot do anything more substantial, given that its forces in the Gaza Strip have been at least half destroyed and thousands of its militants in Judea and Samaria have been arrested.
Another point worth noting, which seems particularly important to us, is the timing of these events in the month of Tammuz. Earlier in the month of Tammuz, previous eliminations took place—Mohammed Deif along with his deputy, the leader of Hamas in Khan Younis, and about 80 other bandits—assistants, guards, advisors, and other high-ranking Hamas personnel. Other significant Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists were eliminated later. Notably, another Iranian proxy, the Houthis, also recently suffered significant losses, forcing them to remain quiet for now.
Now it was the turn of the commander-in-chief of Hezbollah and the head of the Hamas political bureau. And once again, this happened in the month of Tammuz.
The month of Tammuz was once a symbol of destruction and loss, but as the Lubavitcher Rebbe King Moshiach explained, according to Chassidic teachings, the inner content of destruction is actually creation and liberation. Therefore, ultimately, the whole purpose of destruction is to lead to the revival and construction of the Third Temple.
The Rebbe explains that since the inner content of things is revealed in the last generations, it is no coincidence that the holiday of the Rebbe’s liberation from the communist regime also falls in the month of Tammuz (from the 12th to the 13th of Tammuz). In other words, according to the Rebbe, the inner content of this month is “Liberation.”
Thus, we are now in the midst of the process of Liberation, witnessing it in many manifestations from all sides. This is also evident in the crushing of Israel’s haters, which happens precisely in the month of Tammuz, the “month of Liberation.” We are now in a time of great aspiration for true and complete Liberation, approaching us in goodness and mercy.
“Let us give thanks to the Almighty, for He is good, and His mercy is everlasting!”
Despite the threats from the “Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” the Vice President of Iran stated today that they “do not want an escalation of the conflict.” The leaders of the Iranian regime find themselves in a difficult dilemma: they are deeply humiliated and thirst for revenge, but they understand that the explosion that killed Haniya could next reach their own leader, Khamenei, whose residence was just a few hundred meters from the Hamas leader’s bedroom.
In other words, despite the humiliation they have experienced, the Iranian rulers are likely to attempt revenge through proxies, though it is possible they may try to join some of their proxies’ actions. It should be noted that Hezbollah is not particularly eager to fight at this time either.
The words of the Vice President of Iran align with assessments in Israel that neither the leaders of Iran nor their Hezbollah proxies would want to be involved in a full-scale war with Israel right now. They will certainly try to respond, but likely in a restrained manner. In any case, the IDF remains on high alert, prepared for any development.
We would like to remind everyone of the long-standing promise of the Lubavitcher Rebbe: “The Land of Israel is the safest place in the world!”
Observing all the miracles happening around us, including the crushing of Israel’s haters, we are increasingly strengthened in our faith and confidence in the Almighty, Blessed be He, leading us to Liberation with goodness and joy, and vanquishing all our enemies and evildoers right before our eyes!
