Israeli soldiers and officers who took part in the battle of Khan Yunis say the fighting in Gaza is complicated and that Hamas Al Qassam fighters are changing their tactics in this ongoing war on the Strip for the 288th day according to the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth.
They explained Hamas fighters are emerging alive from under the rubble after being bombed because they took shelter in basements protected by reinforced concrete.
Earlier this month, Israeli combat unit commander in the Nahal Brigade said the brigade lost 50 fighters, and “we must listen to mothers and take care of the reserve soldiers and detainees.”

Also last month, The Jerusalem Post newspaper also quoted Nahal Brigade Commander Yair Zuckerman as saying there are tunnels in almost all of the homes in Rafah, and progress of his forces is slow and the battles are exhausting.
The Israeli commander explained the Palestinian resistance factions are planting many cameras in Rafah to manage the battle from above and below the ground.
He said among the challenges facing his forces is booby-trapping houses and rooms in the city before the Israeli forces enter them, and detonate them remotely.
Despite the time-period of about nine months since the start of its war on Gaza, reports continue to highlight the inability of the Israeli occupation army to achieve any of what it calls, its declared goals, to recover the Israeli prisoners in Gaza and to eliminate the capabilities of Hamas.
Daily, Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza announce the killing and wounding of Israeli soldiers and the destruction of their military vehicles throughout Strip. Resistance factions also fire missiles at Israel, and broadcast video clips documenting some of their attacks on Israeli soldiers, their tanks and troop carriers.

The occupation army continues its ongoing war on Gaza, leaving about 125,000 martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing amid massive destruction and worsening famine in the besieged Strip.
