The military expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, said that the ground science is on Gaza strip It was the worst scenario for Israel, stressing that the soft areas were the fiercest resistance after 92 days of war.
Al-Duwairi added that the Israeli forces began their ground operation by entering areas where they believed the resistance was not present, but they were shocked by the scale of the strikes they received in these places.
When Israel did not achieve any real achievement in the north, it moved to the second phase after the truce, which was more intrusive and violent, as the forces attacked all areas of the Strip except for Deir al-Balah in the center and Rafah in the south.
Israel took advantage of the truce to reposition its forces, withdrawing 3 divisions and keeping 4 brigades with which it attacked the south of the sector, which it expected to have less resistance – due to the somewhat open land – in it, in contrast to the north, which is characterized by urban density, according to Al-Duwairi.
However, the southern operation did not provide much for Israel, which prompted it to deploy more forces to enter deep into the city of Khan Yunis. However, the resistance also confronted these forces fiercely and forced them to retreat, according to Al-Duwairi.
Currently, Al-Duwairi adds, Israel is waging side battles in areas such as Al-Qarara, perhaps helping it facilitate the process of storming Khan Yunis, which it began dealing with by land, sea, and air, similar to what the American forces did in Mosul city Iraqi.
The military expert concluded by saying that the Israeli forces tried from the first moment to enter the empty and agricultural areas, but they received and are still receiving painful strikes in these areas that they considered soft, such as Juhr al-Dik in the north and al-Qarara in the south.
