The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, reiterated that the second phase of the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip is broader in scope, more destructive, and excessive in the use of ammunition, stressing that the facts on the ground belie the occupation forces’ claims of encircling Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.
Al-Duwairi said – in his analysis for Tel Aviv Tribune – that the appropriate title for what is currently happening is “The Gaza Strip Under Fire,” explaining that the unprecedented bombing by Israeli forces on Gaza and its residents aims to achieve the old goal, which is, trying to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip and destroy the infrastructure. infrastructure and eliminate any possibility of life.
He saw that the occupation forces were waging fierce battles in multiple areas, in Beit Lahia, Shujaiya, Jabalia, and east of Khan Yunis. There are frequent reports of losses among its ranks, and therefore it unreasonably overuses firepower in order to facilitate its advance operations.
Al-Duwairi spoke about the signals received regarding the end of military operations before the beginning of next January, which means – in his opinion – that the occupation forces are in a race against time in an attempt to achieve any achievement, especially in light of the stumbling block they are facing.
Among the obstacles faced by the occupation forces, the military expert gives an example of the Jabalia camp, where he said that the occupation forces claimed since yesterday morning, Tuesday, that they were able to encircle it, but the reality on the field does not prove this, and also with regard to Shujaiya, east of Gaza City, where they entered agricultural land, And in the area that is considered soft defensively.
In the southeast of Khan Yunis and the northeast of Khan Yunis, the occupation forces achieved certain breakthroughs, but in the southeast, battles are still fierce between them and the Palestinian resistance, indicating that the distinguishing point relates to what is between entry, incursion, and control.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), had said that it was destroying crowds of enemy forces penetrating the northern areas of the city of Khan Yunis with a barrage of mortar shells.
He described the Israeli army as “immoral and the deadliest,” and its supporters must be said to be “blind in sight and insight.” He was surprised by the speech of US President Joe Biden, who echoed the Israelis’ allegations about accusing the resistance of committing sexual violence and rape.
