The military and strategic expert, Major General Muhammad Al-Samadi, said that the qualitative operations carried out by the Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) – confirm that the Israeli occupation army is unable to end its war on Gaza with a decisive battle.
This came in Al-Sammadi’s comment on the ambush carried out by the Al-Qassam Brigades against an Israeli force in the northern besieged Palestinian Strip, during which an officer and two soldiers were killed. The brigades called the operation “snake hunting.”
He explained that the specific operation carried out yesterday, Monday, in the area of the education roundabout, is a continuation of the death ambushes carried out by Al-Qassam, noting that the Brigades were creative in calling the operation “snake hunting,” as it is “a true name,” as it was clear how to lure the Israeli force and photograph the targeted area.
What struck the military and strategic expert was the skill and professionalism of Al-Qassam fighters in planting and concealing explosive devices, setting up cameras, and following up and monitoring this specific operation.
He explained that the toll of those killed in Operation Al-Qassam was an officer with the rank of captain and two soldiers from the Samson Brigade, which is from the Kfir Brigade, meaning one of the elite units, which means that the Palestinian resistance, through its specific operations, is depleting the forces of the Israeli occupation army from members of the elite units.
Al-Sammadi – in an analysis of the military scene in the Gaza Strip – pointed to the image broadcast by the Al-Qassam Brigades in the video and left a question mark on it, and suggested that there was a security factor that prevented the broadcast of all the data, and he did not rule out that Al-Qassam Brigades would broadcast a video later to reveal more details.
It is noteworthy that the pictures broadcast by Al-Qassam showed an Israeli soldier entering a destroyed house to inspect it before the force entered it, and after he left, a Quadcopter drone was sent to inspect the area.
Neither the soldier nor the plane were able to detect the two devices that had been previously planted inside and outside the house. After the force infiltrated the house, the device was directly detonated by 3 individuals.
Al-Qassam published a photo of three dead people and left a fourth blank with a question mark on it. It said that the occupation was hiding its real losses, and that it did not disclose the rest of the details of the operation due to the security situation, adding, “There is still more to the conversation.”
