The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, has shed light on the recent missile attack on Tel Aviv by Hamas, using the 'Maqadma M90' missile from Khan Yunis. This bold action serves as a clear message of the resistance's capability to strike deep within Israeli territory. Al-Duwairi emphasized that the decision to launch this missile was not merely a military one, but a political statement from Hamas leadership, reflecting significant political implications.
The 'M90' missile, named after Ibrahim Maqadmeh, has an explosive warhead weighing less than 250 kilograms and a range that can extend up to 250 kilometers. Al-Duwairi noted that this missile is part of a generation of weapons that the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, possess. He explained that the use of a single missile in this attack is strategic, aligning with prior tactics that demonstrate their ongoing capability to target central Israel.
In addition to missile strikes, Al-Duwairi discussed the effectiveness of sniping operations conducted by resistance fighters. A recent incident involving an Israeli soldier being targeted near a university in Gaza City highlighted the psychological impact of such operations. The weapon used, a 'Ghoul' rifle, has a formidable range and is known for its deadly accuracy. Al-Duwairi pointed out that each resistance operation is meticulously planned, taking into account various factors including the nature of the target and the surrounding circumstances.
The military expert further elaborated on the complexities of ambush tactics employed by the resistance. These operations require extensive preparation, including reconnaissance and strategic planning, making them one of the most challenging military maneuvers.
