Expert: Iran to Launch Strike on Israel Soon

Military expert Dr Nidal Abu Zeid said the resistance is provening it still has the ability to continue confronting the Israel occupation forces after 301 days. As evidence of that it launched a rockets barrage towards the Jewish settlements sorrounding Gaza from the southern region.

He added this is an area witnessing one of the largest military operations these days.

Abu Zeid added to Jo24 Israeli forces introduced a new brigade to fight in Gaza – so-called the Jerusalem Brigade affiliated to the Central Military Region – and not from the brigades of the Southern Military Region responsible for operations in Gaza.

Its confirms the extent of the attrition affecting the Israeli combat units from the Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza, the military expert said.

Abu Zeid pointed out the Israeli occupation army withdrew its Seventh Brigade in east of Khan Yunis recently due to the heavy losses they incurred amongst their ranks and has instead deployed the Jerusalem Brigade.

The continuing media statements about Hezbollah and Iran’s response to the assassination of martyrs Ismail Haniyeh and Fouad Shukr confirms that its coming military action on Israel will not be delayed, he said.

Waiting for the hit

This is especially in light of the repositioning of the Hezbollah units in southern Lebanon, withdrawal of Iranian militias from Deir Ezzor, Syria and the fact that most airlines stopped their flights to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.

Abu Zeid explained the clip circulating about the explosion in the building where Ismail Haniyeh was in Tehran is not true. He noted this clip is an old one, published on the occupation army’s website targeting a house in Attara, north Ramallah.

He added the coincidence of its publication now with the New York Times item comes within Israel’s attempt to show the explosion was caused by a device placed inside the building where Haniyeh was staying.

Abu Zeid this is being stressed to shatter the image of Iranian intelligence and show its been compromised. He added however, all indications show the area targeted was by an advanced missile launched from outside Iran, specifically from a base in Azerbaijan.

Haniyeh’s Murder Will Not Flake The Resistance

The assassination of the Hamas political bureau Ismail Haniyeh, Wednesday, in Tehran shows there was a clear security breach, and Israel was looking for an opportunity to carry out the assassination and found it in the Iranian capital, said military and strategic expert Nidal Abu Zeid.

Although he didn’t elaborate on the security breach, he said the assassination will not have an impact on the war in Gaza, saying the Palestinian resistance will not be shaken by the martyrdom of one of its leaders, Abu Zaid told Jo24.

Hamas is an ideology that will continue and grow among the Palestinian masses despite the great sacrifices it makes. Already over 38,000 people have been killed in Gaza by Israeli warplanes, tanks and drones not to mention that over 90,000 injured.

These sacrifices by its  leaders and elements in the field of Palestinian fighters from different factions will only increase their will, determination and resolve, he added.

Abu Zeid expects the assassination of the Hamas leader who was elected to run the Hamas organization in 2017, will raise the level of military operations by the Palestinian resistance. He said revenge for the murder of Haniyeh who was killed along with one of the bodyguards on the streets of Tehran will not be delayed and Hamas along with its Izz Al Din Al Qassam military wing will respond quickly.

Abu Zeid explained that the resistance operations will continue to pressure the Israel military occupation, especially in northern Gaza, to withdraw the remaining units of the 98th Paratroopers Division, as happened lately in eastern Khan Yunis, and inspite of the new wave of continual civilian displacements from the city.

He predicted that the losses of the Israeli occupation forces will rise in the coming period, and that the Palestinian resistance will carry out operations that will surprise Israel with new tactics in light of the state of crisis and caution it is experiencing, especially after the unconvincing response in the southern suburb of Beirut and after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh.

In a statement, Wednesday morning, Hamas said the assassination of chief of the political bureau was a “treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tahran.”  

One of his body guards was also killed on the attack on his residence.

Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend the inauguration of new Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Tuesday. It was his first time to be seen in public.

Expert: Israel Hike Attacks For Rome Talks But Won’t Succeed

CROSSFIREARABIA – Military and strategic expert Nidal Abu Zeid said that the Israeli occupation army is trying to put military pressure on the resistance to force it to make concessions and accept a prisoner exchange deal, according to Jo24 website.

He added that the increase in the intensity of military operations in all combat axes, including air sorties, indicate that the Israelis want to put pressure on the resistance before sending their negotiating team to Rome to complete their previous rounds and which are expected to have stronger chance of success this time.

Abu Zeid added the Palestinian resistance factions are aware of the occupation’s motives and plans and are moving in field areas and tactics to increase the level of the occupation’s losses, which reached 13 injured soldiers in the past 24 hours.

He pointed out the resistance is showing that it is still capable of setting up ambushes as happened in the Bina camp and in Shaboura whilst launching rocket barrages outside the Gaza periphery into Israeli settlements.

What is also striking also Abu Zaid pointed out is the targeting of an aircraft with a SAM/7 missile, in addition to the remarkable success on the media level exposing the occupation’s narrative and misleading and untruthful broadcasts.

The military expert pointed out that there lies deep differences between the Israeli political and military, and contradiction, disagreement and the exchange of accusations between them and which has clearly emerged recently.

Abu Zeid confirmed that the politicians on top of which is Benjamin Netanyahu who seek to continue the military onslaught on Gaza until its declared goals are achieved, while the military are asking for battles to be ended through diplomatic means.

Abu Zeid revealed of indications that the current Israeli government will seek to dismiss Defense Minister Yoav Galant and replace him with Gideon Sa’ar in the Knesset recess that will begin, Sunday. And this appears to be a preemptive step to confront Ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich after accepting the negotiations.

Despite Ruins, Palestinian Resistance in Top Shape

Jordanian military and strategic expert Nidal Abu Zeid said the videoclips broadcast by the Palestinian resistance groups on the methods of managing operations, ambushes, and targeting the occupation forces, prove they are still cohesive and their command and control system is capable of continuing and inflicting losses on the Israeli occupation forces.

Abu Zeid added the resistance operations are managed by an integrated system. He said the videoclips show there is a commander for the operation who directs, then there is the target reconnaissance based on intelligence gathering with another team videoing and photographing the operations.

These elements confirm such a system in the works  is still fine, stressing the Israeli occupation forces were forced to retreat and not withdraw from Al-Sinaa Street in Tal Al-Hawa after the ambush that caused much losses in reference to the latest Israeli military actions.

Abu Zeid said this prompted the occupation forces to withdraw not just from Tal Al Hawa but from the entire northern Gaza Strip according to Jordan 24.

Abu Zaid pointed out most of the destructive vehicles that appeared in the circulated clips are M113 troop carriers, maintaining that this reinforces the theory that the occupation resorted to using this type of old carriers that were discontinued in 2006 due to the significant losses of modern Tiger troop carriers in the Israeli army.

He indicated the M113 carriers are not as efficient, effective and armored which also explains the high losses among the Israeli soldiers as the Israeli army announced.

That the means the loss curve is still rising between 10 to 20 soldiers per day, which imposes challenges on the occupation army in terms of manpower resources.

Abu Zeid stated the statements of Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi about the urgent need to recruit new elements into the army and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant statements about the necessity of recruiting ultra-Orthodox Jews who are exempt from military service confirm the magnitude of the losses the army is suffering daily.

Abu Zeid continued the Israeli combat doctrine is based on three pillars: Deterrence, early warning, and rapid resolution) pointing out the Palestinian resistance groups have succeeded in stripping the enemy of these and which explains the clear imbalance in the military operations and the occupation’s inability to take the upper hand.

Regarding the ongoing negotiations in Doha, Abu Zeid said Netanyahu is trying to booby-trap these talks and obstruct their progress by imposing conditions related to guarantees for the resumption of military action at any time.

These aim at preventing the return of the displaced to northern Gaza, and evade the issue of negotiating with the Egyptian side on the status of the Philadelphia axis, which will create further conflict between the government and the military generals and leaders of the security services.
