Who Has the Upper Hand in Gaza?

Strategic expert Dr. Nidal Abu Zeid said the ongoing operations in the Gaza Strip indicate two opposing scenes: The first to manage the defensive battle of the resistance and the second the offensive battle of the occupation army.

But he added the first scene can be described as escalating and the second as descending.

Abu Zeid added to Jordan24 the resistance has succeeded in managing an escalating defensive battle in a more professional manner and contributed to increasing the daily losses on the part of the occupation forces.

He explained that the resistance’s ability to adapt to the geography of the region has been great as witnessed in the battles of Tal al-Hawa and al-Zeitoun neighborhood. He noted that the mercurial movements of the resistance has confused the occupation forces after inflicting heavy losses on them.

Abu Zeid pointed out that the occupation is conducting an offensive battle in which there is a kind of confusion and hesitation, as the occupation army is unable to determine the directions of the attack and is unable to resolve the war despite the passage of 324 days of fighting.

He said this is due to the state of clear exhaustion in the Israeli combat units, as the 98th Paratroopers Division which has been fighting since the beginning of the military operation without stopping, and the 162nd Armored Division fighting in Rafah and has also fought in the north without stopping.
