Military and strategic expert Colonel Hatem Al-Falahi has confirmed that Israel's military operations in the West Bank are based on precise intelligence, targeting specific geographical areas and individuals. This indicates that the Israeli army possesses accurate security information, which is crucial for their ongoing military campaign. Al-Falahi highlighted that the operations, particularly intense in Jenin and Tulkarm, reflect Israel's use of excessive force against Palestinian resistance fighters. The campaign, described by the Israeli Chief of Staff as a 'military campaign,' has been active for four days, involving large-scale operations from the Central Region Brigade (777 Brigade) and other specialized units.
Al-Falahi elaborated that Israel's intention behind this military campaign is to thwart the potential opening of a new combat front in the West Bank, especially in light of recent bombings in Tel Aviv and concerns over possible infiltration into the territories occupied since 1948. He expressed that the Palestinian resistance currently lacks the necessary infrastructure for a prolonged confrontation with Israeli forces, given their limited resources and capabilities. However, the resistance fighters continue to confront the Israeli army with the modest means at their disposal.
The expert emphasized that the ongoing raids, arrests, and bombings by the Israeli army present a significant challenge to Palestinian resistance factions. Despite their limited resources, these factions strive to stand firm against the Israeli military campaign, which Al-Falahi views as an achievement in itself for the Palestinian resistance at this critical juncture.
- The situation in the West Bank has been tense, with the Israeli military operations escalating in response to perceived threats from Palestinian groups. The conflict has drawn international attention, raising concerns about the humanitarian impact on civilians caught in the crossfire. Observers note that the cycle of violence continues to affect peace efforts in the region, with both sides entrenched in their positions.
