The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, said that the scenes of the tank being charred, presented by the Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) – in the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, indicate that the “Al-Yassin 105” shell accurately hit the tank’s turret and detonated its ammunition.
Al-Duwairi explained, during his military analysis to Al-Jazeera, that the targeting was from a higher area, which gave the missile carrier and shooter an ideal opportunity to hit the tank turret, after the line of sight became open without obstacles.
He pointed out that targeting from above inevitably means fatal injuries after the shell penetrates the tank tower, noting that the burning scenes that resulted from the strike were the result of the shell entering the tower and exploding the ammunition it carries and not the result of the effect of the shell itself.
He added that the tank’s ammunition contains penetrating, phosphorous and regular bombs, reiterating that the explosion resulted from the explosion of the ammunition carried by the tank inside the tower frame.
Regarding the implications of a Qassam member’s talk about “charring” the tank, the military expert confirmed that the Israeli tank in the current battle inevitably carries 10 soldiers, “and certainly everyone inside it was killed,” which raises questions about the accuracy of the casualty figures announced by the occupation, which are lower than reality. Exponentially.
He noted that Al-Qassam fighters differentiate between targets, citing the scene of one of them allowing a bulldozer to pass, waiting for the “dangerous and dangerous target,” in reference to a tank that was later hit by an anti-armor shell.
He praised the method used by Al-Qassam members through “teamwork.” One of them fires a Yassin missile, and two others wait in case soldiers get out of the tank and then finish them off if the first injury is not fatal.
He ruled out that the occupation would bear the human losses among its army and said that the cost bill was higher than the prisoners it was trying to recover from the grip of the resistance following the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation.
He greatly praised the Al-Shuja’iya Battalion, affiliated with Al-Qassam, and said that it is a special, historical case with a long track record, stressing that losses among the ranks of the occupation army in this region will be heavy, as happened in Juhr Al-Dik, east of the central region, and Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.
