Military and strategic expert Colonel Hatem Karim Al-Falahi said that the appointment of a military governor by the occupation for the Gaza Strip during the past few days indicates that the war has moved to a new phase of escalation on the part of the Israeli army.
He added – during the military analysis section – that the fourth phase of the operations announced by the occupation builds on the previous phases, noting that the occupation seeks to work through two plans in the sector in the next phase.
He explained that Plan A will depend on mobile offensive operations that penetrate areas that have not been entered before and will depend on intelligence information. He pointed out a major fallacy in this plan, which the occupation announced would “avoid the locations of the prisoners,” wondering why the occupation did not retrieve them if it knew where they were being held.
As for Plan B, Al-Falahi indicated that it depends on moving through the Netzarim and Philadelphi axes, carrying out offensive operations in multiple areas, searching for tunnels, and forcing the resistance not to move through continuous monitoring by drones and satellites, in addition to using agents and spies.
The military expert pointed out that Plan B talks about forcing the residents of the north to move towards the central region via the coastal road, as part of what was called the “Heroes’ Plan,” with the aim of completely evacuating the north, to provide opportunities for the Israeli families who were displaced to return to their homes in the border area.
Al-Falahi pointed out the contradiction and major flaw in Plan A announced by the occupation because it contradicts the reality that proved that military pressure did not return the prisoners for 11 months except in coffins. He pointed out that reports confirm that the resistance is still capable of executing painful strikes against the occupation after it carried out operations to renew and reintegrate the battalions and new manufacturing operations.
