Military expert Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi said that the process of recovering some prisoners from the Gaza Strip will not affect the course of the war, stressing that the resistance will learn from it to fill any gaps in the process of securing the rest of the detainees.
Al-Duwairi added, in an analysis of the military scene in Gaza, that the operation appears successful currently, while it may be a failure if the resistance announces the killing of other numbers of prisoners.
According to Al-Duwairi, the effectiveness of the operation depends on what the resistance reveals about the dead among the force that carried out the operation or the other prisoners who were in the area, because the losses may be greater than the number of the four prisoners who were recovered, according to him.
He stressed that the operation was on the verge of failure, as confirmed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself, and that it was “criminal” and not professional in the military sense, indicating that the resistance will use other methods that will make repeating such an operation more difficult.
The military expert explained that the four prisoners recovered by the occupation were above the ground and not below it, in addition to information provided by British spy planes and the American hostage recovery cell that participated in the operation.
A horrific massacre
Abu Ubaida, spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), had said earlier that the Israeli occupation army was able today, by committing “horrific massacres,” to recover some of its prisoners in the Gaza Strip, but at the same time it killed some of them during the operation.
Abu Ubaida warned – in a statement – that the operation would pose a “great danger” to the occupation prisoners, and would have a negative impact on their conditions and lives, as he put it.
He added, “What the Zionist enemy carried out in the Nuseirat area in the middle of the Gaza Strip is a complex war crime, and the first to be harmed by it were its prisoners.”
It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation army announced today the implementation of an operation that enabled it to recover 4 prisoners through coordination between the Internal Security Service (Shin Bet) and the Special Police Unit from two separate areas in the heart of the Nuseirat camp.
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority broadcast pictures that it said were from the shores of Gaza, showing the transfer of these detainees to army helicopters, noting that “gunmen” chased the car that carried the prisoners, opened fire on it and damaged it.
A statement by the occupation army stated that the four prisoners were among those detained from the Nova concert on October 7, indicating that their health condition is good, and that they were transferred for medical examinations to a hospital inside Israel.
