Battle For Shujaiyia: 4 Israeli Soldiers Dead, 5 Injured in 48 Hrs
CrossFireArabia- June 28, 2024
The battle for Al Shujaiyia increases in intensity as a broad Palestinian coalition of fighters that include a brigade from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine stand up to the Israeli occupation invaders.
On the Israeli side, four soldiers were reported dead in less than 48 hours in major battles between Hamas and Saraya Al Quds fighters Israeli soldiers who forced their way into the neigborhood under intense air cover of bombardment.
In the two-day battle now going on into its third, five Israeli soldiers as well are being reported by Al Jazeera as having suffered injuries and taken to hospital inside Israel through helicopters.
The battle is already fierce but the Palestinian resistance forces say they will maintain pressure on the Israeli army to withdraw as they did elsewhere like Jabalia and Biet Lahia.
Experts say the Israeli forces are losing steam as they go in places like Al Shujaiyia; they stay there, bomb, believe they got rid of Palestinian fighters and then leave. Meanwhile Palestinian fighters regroup, redevelop, gain their strength back and are out again in top form.
This scenario is likely to be repeated in the current fighting in Al Shujaiyia. Because of the nature of the Israeli army and its organizational structure, they must follow orders that comes from the political leaders like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This makes their job doubly difficult experts say.
