Military and strategic expert Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi said – in his daily analysis on Tel Aviv Tribune – that the Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip have made a “tactical change” in managing the ongoing battle between them and the Israeli occupation forces in various regions of the Strip.
Al-Duwairi added that resistance fighters began to rely on what are called fixed ambushes and mobile ambushes, as well as deceptive ambushes in which the opponent is lured into the combat zone, in addition to moving the battle to the back lines.
Al-Duwairi also confirmed that the resistance factions in Gaza activated the joint operations room, meaning that coordination between them moved from the planning level to the executive level, and two small groups of fighters were brought together into one group, indicating the existence of a common language between the fighting factions and similar skills between the fighters on the ground. the earth.
The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced a joint operation with the Al-Quds Brigades, the military arm of the Islamic Jihad Movement, during which 3 Israeli Merkava tanks were targeted in the Ma’an area in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
On the other hand, the videos broadcast by the resistance factions about their operations in the Crimean region north of Gaza and in the central and southern regions deny – as Al-Duwairi says – the concept of control as claimed by the occupation forces.
He said that several days ago, the occupation reduced the number of forces and kept 4 brigades fighting in the eastern region of Gaza, in Al-Shuja’iya, Al-Tuffah neighborhood, Al-Daraj, and the outskirts of Jabalia.
He believed that the occupation army’s management of the battle in Gaza was unclear, because the differences within the Israeli war council were reflected in the field reality, indicating that the occupation forces were suffering from confusion, as they were between announcing a withdrawal and carrying out incursions.
