Major General Al-Duwairi Analyzes Abu Obeida's Speech
Retired Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, a prominent military and strategic expert, has stated that the recent speech by Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, marks the beginning of a new phase of resistance against Israeli occupation. This speech coincides with the first anniversary of Operation Flood of Al-Aqsa, a significant military initiative by Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip aimed at confronting Israeli forces. Al-Duwairi's analysis emphasizes a strategic shift towards a battle of attrition, indicating that the resistance is prepared to continue its fight against the occupation, leveraging new field data to shape future operations.
Strategic Focus on Attrition Operations
Al-Duwairi elaborated on the implications of Abu Obeida's speech, highlighting the importance of focusing on attrition operations. He noted that the Palestinian resistance is successfully redeploying in critical areas such as Rafah and the Netzarim axis, enhancing their operational capabilities. This strategic focus is expected to present significant challenges to Israeli forces in the long term. Al-Duwairi also pointed out that the ongoing foreign support for Israel, particularly from the United States and other Western nations, continues to play a crucial role in the persistence of the occupation's aggression in the region.
Implications for Palestinian Resistance and Regional Dynamics
In his speech, Abu Obeida criticized Arab nations for their lack of support for the Palestinian cause, while simultaneously expressing solidarity with resistance efforts in the West Bank. Al-Duwairi noted that the potential escalation of military operations could complicate the situation regarding Israeli prisoners held by the resistance, suggesting that this issue may enter a 'dark tunnel' that obscures their fate. As the anniversary of the conflict approaches, which has resulted in substantial casualties and destruction, Al-Duwairi believes that the coming phase will see intensified military operations against the occupation, influenced by both internal dynamics and external pressures.
