Military and strategic expert Major-General Fayez Al-Duwairi expects the Israeli army to be forced to retreat from Tel Al-Hawa in Gaza City, in the next 72 hours. The intensity and effectiveness of the resistance operations in the area will make sure of that, he added.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced it carried out several operations targeting Israeli soldiers and vehicles in Tel Al-Hawa. Al-Jazeera correspondent monitored the intense fighting in the neighborhood and the direct targeting of the occupation forces.
In an analysis of the military scene, Al-Duwairi pointed out there are four Israeli divisions fighting from Tel Al-Hawa to Rafah in the south. These are the 98, 99, 252 and 162 divisions, noting the fighting is fierce in most of theses areas, except in the northern region and parts of Gaza City.
Al-Duwairi explained the framework of operations in the areas surrounding Gaza city is difficult for the Israeli army, indicating it failed to achieve its goals in Jabalia, Shuja’iyya and Zeitoun, entering these areas repeatedly without achieving its goals.
The military expert pointed out that this is the sixth time the Israeli army enters this neighborhood, and this time as it will be forced to leave soon. He also pointed out the occupation army entered the camps area in the south twice with its 98th Division and failed, then sent the 36th Division and failed there as well.
Complete destruction
The real reasons for these Israeli incursions lie in the goal of completing the destruction of Gaza, displace more people and end the basic necessities of life, as each incursion is preceded by an Israel military order to the residents to evacuate the area.
In this context, he pointed out, the occupation destroyed the main water tank in Tel al-Sultan neighborhood in Rafah. He emphasized this reflects the army’s approach that is based on “gang ideology.”
Al-Duwairi, a military analyst in Al Jazeera Satellite Channel, pointed out the occupation doesn’t want the people who have been displaced to return, under the pretext of the infiltration of militants, which indicates a forced displacement process that may turn into permanent one.
As evidence of this, the military expert pointed out the Israeli army has completely destroyed homes and residential complexes in the south and east of Gaza City, and destroyed agricultural areas in the eastern region, saying such action is aimed at preventing people from returning.
Sniper bullet
Commenting on the sniper operation of an Israeli soldier in Khan Yunis broadcast by the Qassam Brigades, Al-Duwairi believes these Hamas fighters are using “leftover” war ammunition which reflect their ability to efficiently exploit available resources.
He explained the bullet that was used was 14.5 mm in caliber. He noted the use of these bullets reflects the resistance’s ingenuity in benefiting from weapons neglected and abandoned by the occupation soldiers.
Al-Duwairi pointed out the operation included accurate monitoring of occupation soldiers, which reflects a high level of planning and implementation, and best locations identified to carry out the sniper operation, which demonstrates professionalism on the part of the Palestinian fighters.
The military expert pointed out the morale of the Qassam fighters plays a decisive role in the success of the operations, stressing the sniper who carried out the operation enjoyed high confidence stemming from his belief in his cause.
He explained that the resistance does not only rely on recycling war remnants, but also uses strategies for direct reuse, as happened with the sniper bullets that appeared in this clip.

He pointed out the Al-Qassam Brigades use three main strategies: Reusing ready-made waste, recycling explosives, and reusing missiles dropped by occupation aircraft according to the Jo24.net website.
