The expert in strategic and military affairs, Major General Wassef Erekat, believes that the intensification of the Israeli occupation army’s artillery and air strikes on Jabalia camp (north) and Rafah (south) of the Gaza Strip reflects the state of weakness and exhaustion it has reached and its inability to achieve any achievement on the ground.
He said – in an analysis of the military scene in Gaza – that the Israeli army’s use of aircraft and land and sea artillery, 7 months after its aggression against the Gaza Strip, confirms that it is in a state of weakness and unable to remain steadfast, control and achieve goals on the ground.
Erekat added that the bombing of residential squares and places where people gather, such as shelter centers and hospitals, comes within the Israeli policy of the war of extermination, destruction and displacement, and also in light of the occupation army being exposed to great pressure from the Palestinian resistance. He said that the occupation army resorts to targeting civilians in Gaza to cover up its inability.
The Israelis have reached – as Erekat says – a dead end in their war on the Gaza Strip, and decision makers are standing at a crossroads because keeping their army in a state of weakness will mean further depletion not only in lives and equipment, but also in the internal front’s lack of confidence in the Israeli army, in addition to To deepen internal disputes.
According to the expert in strategic and military affairs, the state of exhaustion and weakness that the Israeli army is suffering from is in the interest of the Palestinian resistance, which has proven its ability to confront and put pressure on this army.
He stated that the Palestinian resistance has baffled the Israeli army as well as analysts and military experts. In light of the difficult circumstances to which the Gaza Strip is exposed and the massacres committed against Gazans, the Palestinian resistance comes out and broadcasts in audio and video its operations targeting the occupation forces in various regions of the Strip.
The Palestinian resistance factions continue their operations against the occupation forces in various areas, and the Israeli occupation army announced the killing of 5 soldiers and the injury of 16 others in the bombing of a building in the Jabalia area yesterday, Wednesday.
The number of Israeli soldiers killed since October 7 has risen to 627 officers and soldiers, including 289 who were killed since the start of the ground operation by the occupation forces in the Gaza Strip.
