The Israeli Army Exhausts Its Goals in Gaza – Military Expert
CrossFireArabia- July 7, 2024
Military and strategic expert Dr. Nidal Abu Zeid said the Israeli occupation army has reached a difficult stage in its military operations in Gaza, and has now exhausted its goals. He said this explains the latest bombing of one of the shelters for displaced persons in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip.
Abu Zeid added the occupation army is in rapid transformations with its war on entering its 10th month. He told Jo 24 its no longer able to move in large areas as the resistance groups have succeeded in stripping them of the intelligence element and no longer able to receive information and targets of the fighting sectors they are dealing with.
The resistance also succeeded in exploiting the rubble of houses resulting from their massive destruction and turning them into an artificial obstacles to hinder the progress of the occupation military machine and the imposition of short and narrow firing ranges, concealment, and carrying out of ambushes and raids, as happened in Tal al-Sultan in Rafah and Shujaiya in the north.
Abu Zaid stated the enemy was planning to penetrate into Shujaiya and cross from it via the Baghdad Road to Omar Al-Mukhtar Road, so it could provide it with freedom of movement to the north, towards Al-Tuffah and west, towards Zaytoun, but after 10 days of fighting in Shujaiya, the resistance realized what the Israeli army was planning. Therefore, they started implementing several plans and models for combat and thus prevented the occupation forces from penetrating the Shujaiya neighborhood, whose area does not exceed two square kilometers.
Abu Zeid pointed out the reason for the difference in the form of fighting in Shujaiya from Rafah is related to the resistance’s ability to adapt to the geography of the area and succeeding in adapting the land to its advantage in confronting the Israeli occupation forces.
Abu Zeid pointed out that the occupation insists on controlling wide land corridors, such as the Netzarim Corridor and the Philadelphia Corridor, to achieve military and political goals for the possible transition to the third phase of the war, to launch its operations from these corridors supposed to provide it with good mobility.
Politically also, the occupation is trying to strengthen its negotiating cards by negotiating over areas which it controls, he concluded.
