In its discussions, the Israeli media reviewed the developments in the situation in the Gaza Strip, and the repercussions of the bombing of the Tiger armored vehicle, which resulted in the killing of 8 soldiers and the wounding of others.
According to the former head of the Operations Division in the Israeli army, Yisrael Ziv, the bombing of the Tiger armored vehicle is unacceptable, and must be investigated because it occurred during the fighting before the end of the Battle of Rafah, explaining that the investigation could help save the lives of other soldiers during the next two weeks of the war there.
He pointed out that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) had a lot of time to learn lessons and prepare to fight the Israeli army, and explained that the device was ready and waiting for the occupation army convoy to pass, which should not have passed this road and instead built a new road, or moved in another way, and he expected If an investigation occurs, many questions will be answered.
For his part, the Palestinian affairs analyst on the Hebrew Channel 12, Hezi Simantov, said that Hamas is seeking to carry out more operations by targeting the army on the roads of the Rafah area, explaining that the last operation was a combination of a buried explosive device and a device attached to the sides of armored vehicles.
He added that the resistance is hiding in demolished buildings and tunnels, and is intensifying its efforts to attack the occupation army in Rafah, because such an operation in which 8 soldiers were killed gives Hamas great support.
As for the political affairs analyst on Kan 11, he attributed the destruction of the Tiger armored vehicle to the fact that the occupation army soldiers were carrying a large amount of explosive materials outside the armored vehicle, thinking that it would explode but that the soldiers inside would be safe, which did not happen, according to him.
Hamas is rebuilding its structures
Channel 12 Arab affairs correspondent Ohad Hamo said that the Hamas movement was on the verge of collapse and disintegration during the fierce fighting, especially in Khan Yunis, but he confirmed that the movement had rebuilt itself, pointing to the activity of Hamas members in Deir al-Balah and the central camps, and that Hamas security services had returned. To appear and work again, according to what eyewitnesses told him.
Based on his reading of the reality on the ground, Hamo believes that the Rafah operation will not constitute a major change as expected, calling for a new rethink of the whole story called the “Gaza issue.”
Channel 14 military affairs correspondent Hillel Biton Rosen said, “The harsh events angered senior officers fighting in the Rafah area, and one of them said: Either the army will occupy everything and we will win, or we will withdraw from Azza.”
The officer added that we paid a heavy price for the lack of immediate decision-making, while another officer said, “The trick of occupying Rafah has failed, because the Engineering Corps does not have enough ammunition or vehicles to create a safe zone along the Philadelphia axis,” calling for not allowing humanitarian aid to enter the Palestinians who They must be hungry to break, or we must die, according to the reporter.
As for Minister of the War Council and former Chief of Staff, Gadi Eisenkot, he said that there are people in the government who are talking about occupying the entire Gaza Strip, imposing military rule, and rebuilding the settlements, but we do not see any progress so far to achieve the goals of the war.
