Military expert Major-General Fayez Al-Duwairi confirmed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to prolong the war on Gaza by carrying out assassinations in the Lebanese and Iranian capitals in the hope of “reshuffling the cards” in the region.
He explained – in his analysis of the military scene in Al Jazeera – if Netanyahu had achieved his goals in the Gaza Strip, he would not have bombed the southern suburb of Beirut and assassinated chief of the Hamas political bureau Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran.
He pointed out Netanyahu wants to save himself, and does not care about the Israeli prisoners held in Gaza. Netanyahu recovered a very small number through military operations, while more than 100 prisoners returned as part of the exchange deal concluded with Hamas late November 2023 according to Assawsana.
Al-Duwairi stressed the war of attrition of the occupation army is continuing in Gaza. He said it will keep going on while noting talk about the third phase of the war has become a thing of the past in light of the presence of four Israeli military divisions inside the Gaza Strip.
According to the military expert, the presence of this large number of Israeli forces means “a return to square one of the fighting despite the passage of more than 300 days since the outbreak of the war,” and which started soon after 7 October of last year.
He stressed the resistance videos that are broadcast daily from various combat zones in the Gaza Strip speak for themselves. They show the resistance’s performance on the ground.
He pointed out the statements of the Chief of Staff of the Occupation Army Herzi Halevi in which he called for seizing any opportunity to conclude a deal to cease fire in Gaza and exchange prisoners, indicate this means his army want to “escape from the sands of Gaza.”
