The well-known historical principle states that there are no wars without casualties on both sides, defeated and victorious. If we apply this principle to the current war, which began with the American-Israeli aggression against Iran on February 28 of last year, the strong return of Hezbollah after nearly 16 months of strategic silence, as well as the reopening of the Lebanese front in all aspects, is the most significant achievement of this war and the greatest battlefield defeat for the Israeli occupation state.
