Military and strategic expert, Colonel Hatem Al-Falahi, described the operation carried out by the Palestinian resistance against the Israeli occupation west of Hebron in the southern West Bank as qualitative and well-planned.
He said that the perpetrators studied the operation and relied on accurate intelligence information in the implementation and withdrawal to a safe location.
Three Israeli police officers were killed this morning, Sunday, in an armed attack on a car at the Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron. The Israeli radio Kan reported that the perpetrators fired 11 bullets at the targeted car near the Tarqumiya checkpoint.
The Tarqumiya attack came two days after a double operation that took place around two settlements north of Hebron, wounding three Israelis, including the commander of the Etzion Brigade.
Colonel Al-Falahi stressed – in his comment on the Hebron operation – that the battle was imposed on the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank due to the military operation that the occupation army is waging in the region for the fifth day.
He pointed out that if the resistance factions wanted to open the West Bank front after October 7, they would have done so.
The timing of the Israeli military operation in the West Bank raises many question marks, according to Colonel Al-Falahi, who links the timing to the Israeli project that aims – according to him – to end the Palestinian presence in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and impose a new reality that hinders the establishment of the Palestinian state.
