Israeli Media: ‘Beware of Hamas Forces’

Israel is failing to achieve its objectives in Gaza. This is the view of many in the Israeli media. They say that despite the long-war, now in its 18-month, the Palestinian resistance are still able to carry out qualitative operations against Israeli soldiers.

Hamas reorganized, prepares the traps

According to Israel’s Channel 14 the reality in the Gaza Strip requires a profound change in the Israeli combat doctrine, adding that recruiting forces, no matter how good, is still insufficient. Hamas has “rebuilt itself, prepared explosive traps, and recruited forces,” the Channel stated.

Because of this, speakers in Channel 14 went on to state that the Israeli army must control positions inside Gaza and maintain military control over the area to prevent Hamas from achieving any success.

It noted the incident over the weekend, in which two soldiers were killed and another from the Yahalom Unit seriously wounded, is an example of what awaits the Israeli army in Gaza.

Conceal the erosion of its forces!

The Maariv Israeli daily asserted the resumption of the war on Gaza has not achieved the desired results, as military pressure has failed to secure the release of prisoners.

It acknowledged that the current Israeli political thinking and military performance have not succeeded on the ground in Gaza. It added the failure to return all prisoners is tantamount to a defeat for the Israeli army in the battle for Gaza.

Regarding Israel’s readiness to expand the war, Maariv stated that the introduction of Israeli forces into Gaza is complex because of the presence of booby-trapped tunnel openings, which could harm prisoners due to intense fire.

It added that Hamas understands the limitations of the Israeli army’s power in a large-scale maneuver.

It emphasized that the Israeli army is trying to conceal the erosion of its forces and equipment from the public, noting that the significant erosion in the Israeli army is not only in combat power but also in combat equipment according to Jo24.

The painting speaks to all; no words are needs to express the physical horror yet meted out by the Israelis:

Said Alatab writes:

This is my new painting called “The Mutilated Little Boy with His Mother.” It is a response to the ongoing destruction of the Gaza Strip. Thousands of children have suffered devastating injuries, including the loss of eyes, hands, and limbs as a result of missile strikes and explosions. This painting reflects on the lifelong consequences of surviving such violence. For many children, these injuries mean a future marked by physical dependence, emotional trauma, and the constant aware…
