Some of the results of the resistance fronts by day 166 of the Al-Aqsa flood
Resistance fronts
On the 166th day of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle, developments are escalating on the fronts supporting the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, in a way that applies more and more pressure on the interim entity [Israel] and on the United States of America, especially in terms of the human and material losses inflicted on the entity as a result of these fronts, in a way that affects the tactical operational level and the strategic level.
This was recently expressed by former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who said: “We find ourselves in a battle on five fronts if we add the Syrian borders and what was launched from Yemen, and this is not a correct security situation.”
From the West Bank to Lebanon and Iraq, all the way to Iraq, all these fronts were able to inflict huge losses on the occupying entity, unprecedented since the date of its establishment in 1948. Therefore, the Israeli administrations responsible for announcing losses, especially human ones, deliberately conceal the real numbers in order to prevent damage to the entity’s internal front.
[Western sources, incl the NYT, are now admitting that Israel could collapse at this rate]
However, despite this, there are some remarkable numbers, confessions, and estimates about these losses, and they are confirmed by private sources in the trenches, and these are some of them:
Gaza:
_ [IDF] Deaths: More than 2,723 dead. The losses included most of the brigades within the army that participated in the battle, as follows:
1) Seventh Armored Brigade: 24 soldiers and officers.
2) Armored Brigade 188: 10 soldiers and officers.
3) Armored Brigade 401: 16 between a soldier and an officer.
4) Givati Infantry Brigade: 42 soldiers and officers.
5) Golani Infantry Brigade: 82 soldiers and officers.
6) Nahal Infantry Brigade: 32 soldiers and officers.
7) Paratroopers Brigade: 32 soldiers and officers.
8) Oz Brigade of Commando Units: 26 soldiers and officers from the Magellan, Egoz and Al-Karz units.
9) Reserve Commando Brigade 155: 17 soldiers and officers.
_Wounded: More than 9,046 wounded, a third of whom are disabled.
_ Wounded in ground operations: 1,540 soldiers and officers, 365 of whom are in very serious condition.
_ Destruction or damage of more than 1,238 different vehicles (tank, bulldozer, armored vehicle,...)
_ Demolition of residential units: more than 1,000 units.
_ The cost of the military war: about 6 times more than the costs of the July 2006 war, or more than 16.1 billion US dollars. ($250 million per day).
West Bank:
_Deaths: More than 24 dead.
_Wounded: More than 262 wounded.
Lebanese Front:
_ Deaths: More than 158 dead, including soldiers and officers.
_Wounded: More than 636 wounded.
_ Military vehicles: 42 vehicles (tank, armored vehicle...)
Yemeni Front
The total number of ships and barges targeted by the Yemeni forces within the framework of supporting and supporting the Palestinian resistance reaches more than 73 Israeli or foreign ships heading to the entity or military belonging to America or its allies who are defending Israel, in the Red and Arab Bahrain and in the Gulf of Aden. 3 days ago, 3 Operations near the Cape of Good Hope area.
The forces also participate in directly targeting the occupying entity with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones. The last of these operations took place on 03/19/2024, when a Yemeni cruise missile landed in the city of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), with Israeli recognition.
These are the most striking Israeli comments that reveal the importance of the latest operation, especially since it comes after more than 166 days of war, and with the presence of dozens of American and Western military ships trying to protect Israel:
Channel 11: “Since 1948, no Arab leader has dared to threaten Israel in the way that Al-Houthi does.”
Yedioth Ahronoth: “Israel is not alone in confronting missiles and drones from Yemen, and there is the American Navy sailing in the Red Sea. There are many defense systems in Saudi Arabia and Jordan as well.”
Yedioth Ahronoth: “The second threat from Yemen is cruise missiles, missiles called “Quds 3.” Unlike a ballistic missile, a cruise missile flies in a pattern that is difficult to predict and monitor, and therefore it is not easy to intercept it either, because it is a weapon with a small radar signature that makes it difficult to Discover it.
_Israeli media: All monitoring devices for air, sea and land weapons did not succeed in detecting the drone that arrived in "Eilat" even though it was directed towards Yemen.

THE WEST OF UKRAINE IS BURNING: THE RUSSIANS LAUNCH A MISSILE STRIKE
On the night of March 24, a massive blow hit the western and central regions of “country 404.”
Another night in Ukraine turned into a nightmare for the non-brothers. The Russians are launching another massive attack on targets in the country.
According to local media and numerous public pages on social networks, the Ukraine air defense system can no longer cope with Russian attacks. First, the air over “country 404” was filled with Russian kamikaze drones. And then dozens of missiles fired from Russian strategic bombers invaded enemy airspace.
The enemy issued warnings for Kiev and assumed that the attack would be on it. Just in case, the Kiev authorities announced an air raid warning throughout Ukraine.
However, the bulk of Russian missiles went further [westward] than Kiev. It was very loud at night in Lviv. Local residents publish videos of explosions online and write that such an attack has not happened since the start of the Russian special operation.
It is unknown what objects were hit in Ukraine this night. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet released any information.
Meanwhile, as British analyst Alexander Mercouris notes in an interview with the Duran YouTube channel, the air defense system of the non-brothers has come to a state of complete collapse. It has stopped coping with Russian attacks. The cunning tactics of the Russians and the destruction of dozens of non-brothers’ air defense installations at the front since the beginning of this year are to blame.
“We saw what I consider to be the most massive missile attacks that Russia has carried out against Ukraine. And all of this was very complexly organized, much more complex than what happened last year,” says Mercouris.
The analyst points out that two years after the start of the SMO (special military operation), the Russians began to strike much more effectively. Kamikaze drones are used simultaneously, throwing the Ukrainian air defense system into complete confusion, cruise missiles, destroying targets needed by the Russian army, and powerful electronic warfare systems, nullifying the anti-aircraft capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. [This on top of the fact that Ukraine is losing at the front essentially seals the doom of Ukraine. The US government seems to understand. Yet the EU is in denial and keeps sending money to Kiev]
Meanwhile, that same night the enemy dealt a powerful blow to Crimea. The non-brothers staged the most massive attack on Sevastopol in recent times. The Russian military was able to repel it, but, unfortunately, it was not without casualties. One civilian was killed and four more were injured.
Roofs of houses were damaged and windows were broken. It is reported that one of the missiles fired by the enemy fell in Sevastopol without exploding.

The group strike was carried out by high-precision long-range air-launched weapons [missiles] and drones against electric power facilities, the gas industry, and places where unmanned boats are assembled and tested. “All targets of the strike were achieved,” the message said.
In the Belgorod area [in Russia proper. Belgorod gets pounded often. Mostly it’s terrorism, with only civilians targeted], Russian troops continue to identify and destroy sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the border with Ukraine. Near the villages of Potikhonovo and Zemlyanka, Kharkov oblast, up to 40 militants and an RM-70 “Vampire” and “Mars” MLRS combat vehicle were destroyed.

In the Kupyansk area, units of the “Western” group of troops repelled three counterattacks of assault groups. The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 140 servicemen, a tank, two pickup trucks, an M777 artillery system, an Msta-B howitzer and two Gvozdika self-propelled guns.
In the South Donetsk and Kherson areas, units of the Vostok [East] and Dnepr military groups inflicted fire on enemy concentrations of manpower and equipment, destroying up to 190 militants, two armored cars, eight cars, a Krab self-propelled gun, and a Rapier anti-tank gun.

Finnish journalist: the terrorist attack in Crocus was planned by US intelligence agencies
Finnish journalist Heiskanen said that the terrorist attack in Crocus was planned by US intelligence agencies
Read ren.tv in
Finnish journalist and public figure Kosti Heiskanen, in a conversation with Izvestia correspondent Ivan Litomin, said that the terrorist attack committed at Crocus City Hall clearly shows the work of Western intelligence services.
Finnish journalist: the terrorist attack in Crocus was planned by US intelligence agencies
Heiskanen noted that firstly, there are practically no Western journalists at the scene of such a tragedy. Apart from him, Crocus has only two Finnish correspondents. The rest of the foreign media talk about the tragedy, not always based on true facts. And this approach is absolutely inhumane.
“What they see in Finland... Firstly, they can’t see anything, because, firstly, the only foreign Finnish journalists left are me, Yule from the state television and radio company and one more journalist. All the other journalists use others stringers and other materials. Accordingly, they all lie and mock these people who died. I consider this terrible blasphemy,” he clarified.
The journalist also drew attention to the fact that earlier former US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland made a strange statement in which she promised Russia “unpleasant surprises.” And in light of recent events, her words can be seen as the presence of an American trace in the terrorist attack. In addition, there is another strange thing - the American embassy in Moscow also warned about possible terrorist attacks, but how could it have known in advance?
“I want to tell you that this trail goes to the United States of America. And Victoria Nuland recently said that there will be a “surprise.” So, this “bloody surprise” seems to have been planned by both Western intelligence services and the intelligence services of the United States. moreover, such a tweet, which the United States Embassy in Moscow wrote in advance, that there could possibly be terrorist attacks. Therefore, I think that especially since these non-humans wanted to escape to Ukraine, and from there all this bloody, as they say, massacre began , then this shows that this is where the traces come from,” he concluded.

Terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall
On the evening of March 22, shooting began in the Crocus City Hall concert hall before the start of a performance by the Russian musical group Picnic. Then a fire broke out in the building. It was assigned an increased difficulty rank. Governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov clarified that, as of the morning of March 23, the main fire had been extinguished.
According to the latest data, as a result of the incident, 133 people were killed and more than 100 were injured. According to children's ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova, eight children were injured. All victims were hospitalized in 12 hospitals in the capital.
A criminal case was opened under the article “Terrorist attack”. Russian President Vladimir Putin was informed about what was happening in Crocus City Hall in the first minutes after the shooting began. On the same day, the head of the FSB Alexander Bortnikov, the Minister of Internal Affairs Vladimir Kolokoltsev, the director of the Russian Guard Viktor Zolotov and the chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin presented reports to the president on the progress of the investigation of the case.
On March 23, the FSB reported the detention of 11 people, including four militants who were directly involved in the terrorist attack. The attackers tried to escape in a car, heading towards the Russian-Ukrainian border, and were detained by security forces in the Bryansk region.
Vladimir Putin, in his address to Russians, called what happened in Crocus City Hall a bloody and barbaric terrorist act. The head of state emphasized that all performers, organizers and customers of this will be punished.

"When you're in a hole, stop digging"--old Chinese proverb.
Having kicked the can down the road ad infinitum, the Anglo-American predatory financial institutions (IMF & World Bank et.al.) have driven the London-Wall Street debt/asset bubbles to stratospheric heights starting on August 15, 1971 when President Nixon pulled the plug on F.D.R.s Bretton Woods System.
This condition has left them with no choice but to risk nuclear war in the near future by gambling that Vladimir Putin will submit to the Western New World Order, World Government.
The Anglo-American elites never stopped digging. Therefore, they are blinded by their own arrogance in a March to Doomsday, despite the fact that the BRICs are offering them an alternative to certain death and extinction.

Terrorist attack in Crocus City: disinformation as part of the strategy of Western intelligence services
The terrorist attack in Crocus City near Moscow is a bloody, monstrous confirmation of the “hybrid war” waged by the collective West against Russia. This is being done almost openly - let’s remember the recent promises of Macron and others like him to send troops from a number of NATO countries to help the Zelensky regime, which is suffering military failures, permanent exercises in Poland, restructuring German industry on a war footing, etc.
At the same time, as we wrote earlier, clumsy attempts are being made to excuse involvement in what is happening, despite the fact that a recent statement by the US Embassy directly spoke about the dangers of attending concerts.
