He made remarks at a summit held under the title “a review of Palestinian cause and Gaza developments". The gaterhing was held in the presence of Seyyed Hassan Khomeini and under the auspices of the Institute for compilation and publication of Imam Khomeini’s works
The former commander said Israel's intense and constant bombing of Gaza showed that the Israelis will not win.
Israel's victory in the destruction of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and leaving of Gazans has not yet happened.
Pointing to the resistance power, he said that more tunnels have been built in Gaza than all metro lines in Tehran, and citing to some sources, Alaei noted that 500 kilometers of tunnels have been dug and Israel does not know how to destroy these all.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he explained that Hezbollah is a direct result of Israel's attack on Lebanon and their occupation.
Israel's new method of territorial expansion has been settlement building for Jewish settlers.
Wherever the Israelis found an empty land across the occupied territories, and especially in the places where Palestinians are still present, they started building these illegal settlements.
The former Iranian commander went onto to say that US President Biden made a key statement in recent days that if Israel did not even exist, we should have created it. They created Israel to last
And Imam Khomeini emphasized that Israel must be destroyed and annihilated because the presence of Israel has been responsible for lack of progress for the regional nations.
Alaei said that Israel needed two things to survive: a safe land and a population to live in this land. And in both cases, Israel is in trouble.
Israel has occupied a land and this occupation continues and the Tel Aviv regime had never abandoned its aggressive policy.
Before the victory of the Islamic revolution in Iran, they were so self-absorbed that they chanted from the Nile to the Euphrates.
No doubt, the emergence of the Islamic revolution prevented the continuation of the territorial expansion of the Zionist regime. Their most important action after the revolution in this direction was the attack on Lebanon in 1980s. They did not intend to leave southern Lebanon.
The Islamic Revolution stopped the classic attack of the Israeli army on its neighbors. They were quietly pushed out of southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah came into existence out of this crisis. Therefore, Hezbollah is a direct result of Israel's attack on Lebanon and their occupation.
Israel's new method of territorial expansion is settlement building for Jews. Wherever there was empty land in the land of Palestine, and especially in the places where Palestinians are still present, they started building illegal settlements.
Ala'i clarified: They built a settlement in the Gaza Strip and 7700 Jews lived in Gaza. After the liberation of Gaza, they were forced to leave. In the West Bank, where the self-governing government exists, everywhere is occupied by Israel. Israel needs the full occupation of Palestine to survive.
Military operations, settlements and displacement of people are Israel's methods to achieve this goal.
The Israelis showed their nature after the Al-Aqsa storm and said that all the Palestinian people should be thrown into the sea.
The former commander of the IRGC Navy said:
“In the Al-Aqsa storm operation, for the first time in the history of Israel, the Israelis faced an offensive operation by the Palestinians. The great thing that the Al-Aqsa storm did was to show that Israel's period of territorial expansion was over. This happened in a situation where Gaza is under complete siege, but a force has been established in this area that is conducting offensive operations and resisting Israeli occupation.
It is also very important to plan offensive operations regardless of the outcome. Israel's entire intelligence structure has failed.
He concluded by saying that Israel's intense bombardment showed that the Israelis will not win. Israel's victory in the destruction of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and leaving Gaza is from the people. None of this has happened.
The Israelis have no choice but to enter Gaza by land. If an all-out ground operation begins, Israel will face a bigger defeat than ever before. Israelis are not sure of victory. Israel's morale is at its weakest and Israel's complete reliance is on the United States.
The ground operation is in Israel's plan, but because they are not sure of victory, they postpone it. Palestinians have done a great job in Gaza, more tunnels have been built in Gaza than all subway lines in Tehran, and some sources say that 500 kilometers of tunnels have been dug. Israel does not know how to destroy these tunnels.
