The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, said that the current battle in the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip is different from its first counterpart, which was based on the repulsion operation since the vanguard of the occupation army arrived in the region.
Al-Duwairi explained – during his analysis of the military scene in Gaza – that the defensive resistance battle in Jabalia currently allows the occupation army to penetrate and advance in depth, but he stressed that the matter “does not mean at all that there is weakness and weakness.”
According to the strategic expert, this combat plan is one of the strengths of the resistance, as it allowed the occupation to advance and go deeper with the aim of managing the defensive battle from zero distance and from all directions, in addition to circumventing the Israeli forces and cutting off supply lines.
Al-Duwairi cited the statements of the occupation army about its fighting more violent, fierce and bloody battles, as well as the videos broadcast by the resistance over the past days.
Regarding the reason for the occupation’s insistence on proceeding with the Jabalia operation and sending in additional forces, the military expert explains that policy projections are present in the management of the battle for the occupation in light of his talk about the necessity of eliminating the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and the rest of the resistance factions and their combat capabilities in areas that he said he had not entered. previously.
He pointed out that it also comes within the framework of the plans of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, considering that it falls within the context of political rather than military employment.
He pointed out that the current battle in Jabalia lasted longer than the previous battle, but he expressed his confidence that the occupation army “will withdraw against its will after suffering heavy losses from the resistance and being pursued during the withdrawal phase as well,” while acknowledging at the same time that the region will pay a heavy bill for the destruction of what It has not been previously destroyed.
As for the battle in Rafah in the south, Al-Duwairi revealed that the eastern areas of the border city with Egypt had turned into an unstable mobilization point after the occupation forces entered it. He expected the Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of Hamas – to carry out operations in the region in order to prevent the Israeli forces from allowing the final mobilization and thus deepening the battle of Rafah. .
From Al-Duwairi’s point of view, the Battle of Rafah is considered, in Netanyahu’s dictionary, as “an escape forward with the aim of prolonging the fighting.” He expects it to fail, as did the rest of the battles in Gaza, Khan Yunis, and others.
He concluded that Netanyahu “is not in a rush to expand the battle in Rafah, despite the statements he makes,” while stressing that the region will witness bloody massacres due to its overpopulation, but the occupation will fail to achieve the war goals that he has always stressed.
