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.

Another reason Israel can't win this war? Its military has never waged a War of Attrition. Now the troop fatigue is showing. @SNarwani

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 Soldiers Beg to Exit The Gaza Quagmire

Major-General Fayez Al-Duwairi said the letter of dozens of reserve officers in the Israeli occupation army to their Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, is a sobering reality of what these soldiers are going through in the hard fields of Gaza.

The strategic expert explained – in his Gaza military analysis – the one fighting in battle is the most honest because he is directly on the ground, noting the words of Israeli politicians cannot be taken seriously because they are seeking to exploit the war for their political goals.

He said the concept of victory in asymmetric warfare is completely different from that of the traditional one “if the weak party can continue fighting and survive, it is victorious, while the strong party is considered a loser if it does not win.”

Zero distance

The Al-Qassam Brigades – the Hamas military wing – and the rest of the factions are still fighting. Videos of the resistance in various combat zones, prove that the occupation army remains fearful of fighting from zero distance he said in his daily analysis on Al Jazeera.

Al-Duwairi stressed the army has suffered great losses in the strategic context that will require years to compensate for. In this war it has lost its superiority, has not be able to win this “conservative war”, undermined its deterrence and failed in its ability to work on the home front.

The expert added the statements of Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant in which he hoped the circle of war would not expand are a result of what the occupation officers soldiers about the tough time they have been having in Gaza whilst recalling statements by the Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari admitting that eliminating Hamas is like throwing dust in the eyes.

Al-Duwairi concluded the message of the officers is “stop swimming against the tide and recognize the reality, which is our inability to resolve the war with our weakest of regional enemies and end it, and talk of victory is not convincing and cannot be achieved.”

Out of reach

Dozens of reserve officers in the occupation army sent a message to Halevi in which they confirmed that achieving victory in Gaza is still out of reach. They stated: “We, who came from the battlefield know well that the situation is still far from achieving victory,” as reported by Israeli Channel 14.

The officers, who spent 200 days of reserve service in Gaza, stressed “the enemy still has cross-border capabilities, drones, explosive drones, mortar shells, a huge tunnel infrastructure and many living terrorists ready to continue fighting against us,” as they described it, according to Jo24.

Military expert Major-General Fayez Al-Duwairi, said the different resistance groups have long adapted to the ground field in Gaza and allowed them to continue fighting the Israeli army since last October 2023.

It was necessary for the resistance to develop its combat performance in the battlefield after it resorted to confrontational stances in the first stage of the war that cost the movement both materially and in terms of human resources, Al-Duwairi of Al Jazeera explained, in his analysis of the military scene in Gaza.

DEADLY AMBUSH

The military and strategic expert described the resistance development, interms of performance and new tactics as giving then greater “heights of skill and intelligence” that was necessary in the latter stages of the war as the Israeli occupation penetrated the whole of Gaza and its north.

He added it is here where the resistance started moving in small groups and harnessed all available means to achieve their goal of beating the enemy.

Thus the ambushes and the use of TNT fillings and explosive devices appeared in a greater way and effectively against the occupation’s military armor, especially later in the battles of Khan Yunis and Rafah in the south, he maintained.

Regarding the return of the Israeli soldiers to Khan Yunis for the third time, the military expert, said the Zionist army were not able to achieve its goals in the previous two times, noting the Khan Yunis Brigade of the Qassam Brigades – the Hamas military wing – was by far superior as a fighting force.

He added the Israeli fighting in Khan Yunis, the first time, lasted for months, during which they failed to find the prominent leaders of the Qassam Brigades, and failed as well to discover and destroy the underground strategic tunnels and the detained Israeli prisoners as pointed out in the Jo24 website.

The occupation withdrew from Khan Yunis last April, returned to it, especially in its eastern areas on 22 July, before withdrawing from it again at the end of the month.

The Israeli war in the Gaza Strip entered its 11th month, and resulted in the martyrdom of 39,699 Palestinians, including 16,314 children and 10,980 women, according to data from the Ministry of Health in Gaza, in addition to the widespread destruction of schools, hospitals and infrastructure.

Duwairi: Israel Moves Back to Stage 1 of Gaza War

CrossFireArabia
July 29, 2024

Military expert Major-General Fayez Al-Duwairi said that developments in Gaza are returning to the first stage of the war. He confirmed what is happening on the ground in terms of targeting hospitals and safe areas points to the fact.

Back to Stage I

He said phase “C” of the Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip has ended and the return to the first stage is now taking place. He highlighted the occupation army has deployed four divisions including 16 brigades in Gaza.

In the first battle of Khan Yunis in the south, Al-Duwairi added, the 98th Division, 99th Division, 162nd Division, and 252nd Division were deployed there. Now, he added, the occupation has deployed the Sinai Division to the new axis in the south of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.

Israeli Airstrikes Schools, Hospitals

He pointed out that the current Israeli airstrikes are focusing on hospitals, UNRWA centers, and safe areas, in addition to pressuring displace residents, especially in the eastern Khan Yunis area to move to Mawasi area.

Israel claims moving to the third phase of its war in Gaza requires keeping its forces only in the Netzarim axes – which separates the north of the Gaza Strip from its center and south – and the Philadelphi axes on the border with Egypt, and the buffer zone along the border with the Strip, and this phase is a form of rapid and focused operations in specific areas.

The strategic expert noted returning to the first phase of the war reflects the political and military thinking in Israel, as the first continues to talk about dismantling and eliminating the Hamas, and freeing the Israeli detainees in Gaza, while the second also talks about the need to keep up the military pressure on the Palestinian resistance.

He referred to Israel Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi as saying he is in favor of military pressure to force Hamas to make concessions leading to an agreement in accordance with Israeli requirements and not according to what is happening on the ground in Gaza.

Rome Initiative

The Israelis are seeking to pressure Hamas to accept the new Rome Initiative, which Al-Duwairi said may nclude many additions, the most important of which is keeping the Netzarim and Philadelphi axes and controlling the return of displaced Gazans to the northern regions.

Rome, is hosting a four-way meeting to discuss the latest Israeli proposal regarding a possible agreement that includes a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange between Israel and the Palestinian resistance.

However, Al-Duwairi explained – in his military analysis on Al-Jazeera – the Palestinian resistance, although weakened by the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip, has the flexibility to rebuild its human and material strength.

In contrast, the occupation army has not been able to recover from the state of exhaustion it is suffering from. Al-Duwairi pointed out this army numbers 635,000 soldiers, 40% of which is in the Gaza Strip, 30% in the West Bank, and about 30 to 35% on the northern front and 10% a strategic reserve as printed in the Jo24.net website.

Al-Duwairi confirmed – in a military analysis on Al-Jazeera – the videos shown by the resistance from Rafah reflect the ferocity of the confrontations. They confirm that all of of the Palestinian factions are quickly adapting to the reality on the ground.

He said this adaptation is reflected in the nature of the military operations, using “economy of force and effort” because the time span of the battles are unknown.

But Al-Duwairi added the greatest possible losses inflicted are the ranks of the Israeli occupation soldiers.

The Major-General stressed the militarily, the field performance “confirm the resistance is still active while the occupation army continues to commit crimes against civilians.”

Regarding the current displacement in Khan Yunis, Al-Duwairi said that the Israel occupation army attached its 7th Armored Brigade to the 98th Division operating in the city, pointing out what is happening in the city is not a limited operation.

Commenting on the ambush carried out by the Palestinian resistance in the village of Al-Matula near Jenin in the West Bank, he said the operation “was a complex one, reflecting an accurate reading of what the occupation will do.”

He stressed these specific operations require the setting up of a joint operations room to develop plans centrally and implement them in a proper manner, taking into account they are incremental but under control, consistent with the possibility of a prolonged confrontation.
