Abstract

Abstract 

This study evaluates the actions and attitudes of Iran’s axis of resistance towards Israel's occupation of Gaza in 2024. Specifically, it examines the asymmetric attacks carried out by proxy forces within Iran’s axis of resistance during this period and analyzes their outcomes. The study aims to shed light on the key developments of 2024 by identifying the primary motivations behind these attacks and evaluating the actions of Iran’s axis of resistance through case studies. By doing so, it assesses the reactions of Iran-backed proxy forces to Israel's occupation of Gaza in terms of their outcomes and impacts, ultimately presenting a balance sheet of Iran’s axis of resistance’ activities and implications for 2024.

Keywords: Al-Aqsa Flood, Iran’s Axis of Resistance, Proxy Powers, Asymmetric Attacks
