Military Expert Analyzes Palestinian Resistance Operations Against Israel
In a recent analysis, Major General Mohammed Al-Samadi, a military and strategic expert, emphasized the resilience and capability of the Palestinian resistance in inflicting significant damage on the Israeli occupation despite the evident imbalance in military power. Al-Samadi noted that the combat doctrine and deep-seated belief in their cause empower the resistance to conduct effective operations against Israeli forces.
Al-Samadi highlighted the Israeli army's ongoing efforts to intensify operations in the northern Gaza Strip, aiming to dismantle resistance strongholds, which he claims often leads to increased civilian casualties. He reported that recent clashes resulted in injuries to Israeli soldiers, including a serious injury from an explosive device detonated during a military raid by the Harel Brigade in central Gaza.
The military expert pointed out that the resistance has successfully executed complex operations, such as assaults on fortified positions held by Israeli soldiers, which have a profound psychological impact on the Israeli military. He cited recent incidents, including the killing of two Israeli soldiers through an explosive device and a suicide bombing carried out by a member of the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, at a troop carrier in northern Gaza.
The Evolving Dynamics of the Conflict
Al-Samadi characterized the current conflict as
existential
for the resistance, motivating fighters from various factions to engage vigorously despite the disparity in military strength. He underscored that the combination of combat doctrine, faith, and bravery helps to level the playing field against the Israeli forces.
The expert also speculated on the potential shifts in Israeli military strategy in response to the ongoing qualitative operations by the resistance. He suggested that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is focused on wearing down the resistance's capabilities. However, Al-Samadi asserted that the resistance remains capable of inflicting significant losses on Israeli forces, even with rudimentary weapons, as the full extent of their arsenal remains uncertain.
