Israelis Face Deadly Resistance Battles After 11 Months
Israelis Face Deadly Resistance Battles After 11 Months

Military expert Major-General Fayez Al-Duwairi said that the Israeli army does not convey the true picture of what it is doing in the Gaza Strip. He added that the occupation army talks about a third phase of military operations that is supposed to be a stage of raids while it is continuing to kill civilians in many ways.

He added – in a military analysis on Al Jazeera – the suffering inflicted by the occupation on civilians in the Strip is not reflected on the Palestinian resistance, which created a new concept of asymmetrical warfare, dominated by the “tunnels war” where resistance fighters continue to  emerge from in specific times to carry out specific and deadly military missions.

Al-Duwairi pointed out the Palestinian resistance groups dominated by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others are still, after about a year of war, capable of fighting and have a stockpile of weapons, fighters and fighters that are being recruited by the day according to Jo24. The war on Gaza was launched soon after 7 October, 2023.

He said Hamas did not take part in the last two wars – 2021 and 2022 – started by Israel on the Gaza Strip, which helped it provide a stockpile of weapons for this present war that is lasting longer than necessary because the world forgot about the atrocities of Gaza as he points out.

The military expert reiterated that the resistance, which continues to bomb the settlements and bases around the Gaza Strip and southern Tel Aviv, confirms its ability to continue the war for longer than anybody has expected.

At the same time it is finding it more difficult for the resistance groups to fight from “zero distances” because of the geographical alterations of Gaza. The Israeli army are now taking up positions far from residential areas with the exception of Tel Sultan, which has been witnessing violent battles for more than three months, he concluded.

Israeli Army Loses Deterrence, Decisiveness – Expert
Israeli Army Loses Deterrence, Decisiveness – Expert

Military expert Dr Nidal Abu Zeid said the success of the Qassam Brigades in launching an M90 missile towards Tel Aviv after 324 days of war and coinciding with Hezbollah’s bombing of the Glilot intelligence base, confirms the Israeli occupation is now missing the two most prominent features of the Israeli combat doctrine: Deterrence and decisiveness.

Abu Zeid added to Jordan24 that the resistance in Gaza has begun to impose the form of the combat equation, raise and lower the intensity of the fighting as it wishes and impose time and place on the enemy.

He said this means its is succeeding in stripping the occupation of its initiative element.

The strategic expert explained the resistance is still focusing on what is termed as the geographical triangle extending from Tel al-Hawa to Khan Yunis and Yula to Tel al-Sultan in Rafah, and is confining the Israeli military operations to this area.

This, he says has greatly exhausted the occupation forces, especially in light of the combat methods followed by the Palestinian resistance groups.

In this situation, Abu Zeid pointed out this type of fighting means the Israeli army can do two things:

The first is to accept the decision at the political level to continue fighting and this will inevitably leads to the collapse of their offensive posture in Gaza as a result of their losses and the shattering of their military units organizational structure, including its 162nd Armored Division and the 98th Paratroopers Division, now fighting for 224 days nonstop. The second is for the Israeli army to stop fighting and withdraw from the Gaza Strip under the weight of losses.

Suicide Bombs Return to Tel Aviv After 18 Years
Suicide Bombs Return to Tel Aviv After 18 Years

The first suicide bomb exploded in Tel Aviv, Sunday night causing mass damage as revealed by different media sources. This is the first suicide exoplosion in the heart of the Israeli city in 18 years according to one blogger.

Al-Qassam Brigades and Saraya al-Quds, claimed immediate responsibility for what they called a resistance operation that will continue inside Israel as long as the massacres, forced displacement of civilians and assassinations in Gaza persist by the Israeli army.

“The Al-Qassam Brigades, in coordination with Saraya al-Quds, announce the execution of the resistance operation that took place last night, Sunday, in the city of Tel Aviv. The brigades affirm the resistance operations within the occupied territories [meaning Israel] will resurface as long as the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation, the displacement of civilians, and the policy of assassinations continue”, Al-Qassam announced on its official Telegram channel according to the Quds News Network.

The Israeli police confirmed that the Tel Aviv huge explosion was what they termed as a “terrorist attack” according to the Jerusalem Post.

They believe the perpetrator of the operation infiltrated the city from the Nablus area in the occupied West Bank. And thgus the security alert level in the greater Tel Aviv area has been notched up.

The Israeli police described the incident as “serious and dangerous,” with investigations by the domestic security force, Shin Bet and the police ongoing. “The Tel Aviv attack was 99% likely to be a terrorist act,” a police statement read, adding it was a “miracle” the explosion did not result in dozens of deaths.

The explosion on HaLechi Street in southern Tel Aviv, involved a powerful explosive device. The Israeli authorities urged the public to remain vigilant, report suspicious persons or objects, and exercise caution as security forces conduct extensive search operations across the city.

According to Israeli media, an Israeli was killed in the explosion, his identity remains unknown due to the severe condition of his body. Another passerby sustained moderate injuries from shrapnel caused by the blast.

Israeli Channel 13 reported have since stated that the police have officially recognized the explosion as a resistance operation.

Footage of the incident circulating on social media shows the significant damage caused by the explosion, with security forces and emergency responders on high alert in the aftermath of the attack.

Stop The Gaza Holocaust
Stop The Gaza Holocaust

By Dr Marwan Asmar

Years from now academics from many different disciplines, will sit and examine what has now long become recognized as the Gaza Holocaust with its own dramatic features and tools, willingly and determinedly perpetrated by the Israeli military and political leaderships while the rest of Israeli society looked on and the world watched aghast, in complicity and helplessness.

Political scientists, historians, sociologists, anthropologists and economists will seek to examine every aspect of horror committed by the Israelis against the Palestinian people of Gaza, in terms of destroying and ruining a functional Palestinian society that once existed but no more.

As well as death and murder, Gaza has become a rubble heap and an enduring wreckage with former buildings, towers and skyscrapers raised to the ground.

The Gaza holocaust will become a new term and course taught in world universities alongside traditional courses of holocaust studies committed by the Nazis in World War II.

Only this time, the Gaza holocaust will focus on how the Jews – now in the form of an Israeli state, institutions and a powerful military and security apparatus – turned from being the victim of racist, fascist horror, to those committing the worst massacres against Palestinian people.

The Gaza holocaust will be real-time, modern sets of murders and heinous acts of killing and destructions committed by what is regarded as a professional Israeli army with one of the most sophisticated technological gadgets in the world committing unspeakable crimes against women, children and the old in a tiny geographical strip and an enclave called Gaza.

The Gaza holocaust will be about introducing new concepts, ideas, methods and methodologies about introducing new meaning to atrocities, extermination, destruction, elimination, eradication, genocide, slaughter, decimation, excision and obliteration.

All of the above words have become common currency in the new Israeli holocaust against Gaza plotted out by men in blue suits in Tel Aviv and occupied Jerusalem and willingly committed by officers and soldiers in uniform aided and abetted by a destructive machine of warplanes, tanks, missiles, artillery and naval ships.

Similar to the Nazis and Hitler, this Gaza Holocaust will be remembered for its external angle. Israel is committing murder with the help of the United States who are shipping the weapons – planes, tanks, artillery and mass bombs – to help the country bomb the Palestinian enclave to the ground.

History will show that the United States has been part-and-parcel of the Gaza holocaust, willingly arming Jewish state to the teeth and without it, Israel wouldn’t have been able to wage the war for so long, currently in its 11-month.  

Similarly, other world states including the UK, Britain, France Germany, Italy and more like India has been willing partners in the supply of weaponry to beat the people of Gaza with while at the same time – and like Washington – professing peace talks, ceasefire and two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

This Gaza holocaust, once entering the text-books for research, will be mind-boggling for its intensity of the ‘’kill factor”, huge bombs dropped on Gaza – 82,000 tons of explosives were hurled down on the Strip by the end of July starting from October, 2003 – and the enormous destruction this caused to the environment and ecosystem of a land that is no more than 364 square kilometers.

This mad holocaust – 2000 pound bombs, that’s two-ton bombs were willing and continuously dropped on residential squares – will take years to fathom, understand and put into perspectives with theoretical models that must be introduced to understand what and how it was triggered and how it was dealt with.

Netanyahu is ‘Enslaving The National Interest’ – Ex-Security Chief
Netanyahu is ‘Enslaving The National Interest’ – Ex-Security Chief

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “enslaving Israel’s national interest in the service of his own political, personal and criminal interests,” according to a former member of Israel’s National Security Council.

Most Israelis believe Netanyahu is “operating for his own political interests and not for the national interest,” Eran Etzion, former deputy head of the council, told Anadolu.

“I’m one of those in the majority who believe that this is the case.”

This is evident in how the Netanyahu government has “deliberately” failed in achieving its war goals, he said, adding that Israel has made some progress but remains far from eliminating all of Hamas’ military capabilities and governmental abilities in Gaza.

“I, as an analyst, cannot say that Israel achieved its goals, and I can say that the fact that Israel did not achieve its goals is by design,” said Etzion, a non-resident scholar at the Middle East Institute in Washington.

This government “deliberately did not want to achieve all those goals because they want to extend the war for the political reasons,” he asserted.

On Israel’s recent assassinations of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, Etzion emphasized that “targeted killings are not an alternative for a real political strategy.”

Hamas’ political chief Ismail Haniyeh was killed on 3 August while visiting the Iranian capital Tehran for the inauguration of President Masoud Pezeshkian, a day after Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr was targeted in an Israeli airstrike in a southern suburb of Lebanon’s capital Beirut.

While Hamas and Iran have blamed Israel for Haniyeh’s killing, Tel Aviv has not confirmed or denied its responsibility.

A day later, the Israeli military claimed it had intelligence that Hamas military commander Mohammad Deif was killed in a July 13 airstrike in Gaza’s Khan Younis area.

The Palestinian group, however, has not confirmed Deif’s death, while it announced Yahya Sinwar as Haniyeh’s successor on Tuesday.

“Personally, I don’t think they (the assassinations) were strategically effective. They might have been effective tactically … but they’ve proven that they can recuperate pretty quickly,” said Etzion, who also served as the head of policy planning at the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

“This is certainly not a strategy,” he added.

‘Acting for the instigation of a wider regional war’

Regarding the future course of Israel’s war on Gaza, Etzion pointed out that there is a split within the country and its leadership.

The public and the “wider defense establishment” are in favor of signing a deal for a cease-fire and the release of hostages, he said.

However, Netanyahu and some of his ministers, notably the far-right extremist ministers, are openly advocating for and “acting for the instigation of a wider regional war,” he added.

“Most Israelis are ready to sign the deal as it is. The negotiators themselves are ready to sign. The minister of defense, head of the IDF, head of the Shin Bet, they’re all saying let’s sign,” Etzion said.

This position, according to the former government official, reflects “both the genuine Israeli national interest and the will of the majority of Israelis.”

“But Netanyahu is putting up new obstacles because his personal interest … is to prevent the deal, rather than to sign it.”

He pointed out that public opinion regarding the war on Gaza has changed over the past 10 months “as the actual situation on the ground turned out to be not as favorable as they hoped.”

Most Israelis, around 60% or 70%, now want to end the war, although they are still divided over the long-term solution, he said.

“I share the conclusion that the national interest dictates ending the war, releasing the hostages, going for elections, replacing our political leadership and our military leadership that failed catastrophically on Oct. 7 … going for a national reconstruction on multiple levels. That’s what we need in the coming years,” Etzion added according to the Turkish news agency.
