The military and strategic expert, Major General Muhammad Al-Samadi, said that the losses suffered by the Israeli occupation army in the Gaza Strip reflect the level of physical and psychological exhaustion that this army is suffering from, after the long war.
This came in the context of Major General Al-Sammadi’s comment on what the Israeli media reported from military sources, stating that the army is suffering from a shortage of manpower, after about 10,000 soldiers were injured and killed in the war, and that fatigue is worsening among the soldiers due to the continuation of the war on several fronts.
Major General Al-Sammadi said that the Israeli occupation army is qualified to carry out quick and short wars, and the current war on Gaza is the longest in Israel’s history, which has made the army’s level of operational fatigue rise very significantly.
It is noted that the Israeli occupation has become accustomed to relying on a small regular army supported by three times the reserve, but this reserve is currently rebelling and refusing to participate in the war.
Major General Al-Sammadi, in his analysis of the military scene in the Gaza Strip, cites what was reported by the newspaper “Israel Hayom” about the escape of approximately 500 officers with the rank of major from the Israeli army, in a phenomenon described as bleeding within the ranks of this army.
The rank of major is the backbone of the Israeli army, as explained by the military and strategic expert, who pointed out that the occupation refuses to disclose the losses incurred by its soldiers and officers in Gaza.
It is noteworthy that the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation had confirmed yesterday, Tuesday, that more than 13,500 Israeli wounded had been registered in the Rehabilitation Department of the Ministry of Defense since October 7, 2023.
On the other hand, Major General Al-Sammadi explains that long wars increase the likelihood of committing operational errors due to fatigue and a low level of focus on the mission.
Video clips broadcast by the Palestinian resistance factions, the military and strategic expert continues, showed the extent of the mistakes made by the occupation army, noting that very high fatigue appeared, especially among the members of the 162nd and 99th Divisions.
