The military and strategic expert, Brigadier General Ali Abi Raad, said that the Lebanese resistance operations witnessed a qualitative escalation, noting that its missiles reached a depth of 145 kilometers in northern occupied Palestine.
He explained – during the military analysis section – that the moral and military impact of missiles increases as they focus on strategic targets.
In the details of the recent operations, Abi Raad indicated that the resistance launched 18 missile rounds targeting 9 settlements and 8 military bases, forcing about 2.2 million settlers to take refuge in shelters in an area not exceeding 5,000 square kilometers.
This led to a complete paralysis of life, with studies and businesses halting, especially in industrial areas such as the Kriot.
The military expert explained the importance of targeting the Kriot area, noting that it includes many factories and a large population center, in addition to a strategic naval base containing submarines capable of carrying nuclear missiles, and the headquarters of the 13th Marine Commando Division.
Programmed strategy
Regarding the escalation mechanism, Abi Raad indicated that the resistance is adopting a programmed and deliberate strategy in launching missiles, in anticipation of the prolonged battle.
He explained that the escalation often comes as a response to the occupation targeting Lebanese regions, from the south to the southern suburbs and the Bekaa, citing the killing of 53 civilians and the injury of 170 others in the Lebanese Bekaa.
In his analysis of military tactics, the expert pointed out that the occupation army suffers from internal and material problems, most notably the lack of ammunition, especially interceptor missiles.
He pointed out that the statements of the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army Herzi Halevy About expanding operations aimed at raising army morale, it contradicts his previous statements about the imminent end of operations.
Abi Raad warned of the occupation’s recent attempts to infiltrate through Yarin and Mays al-Jabal to reach Bint Jbeil, after failing in Khiam, confirming that 5 Israeli soldiers were killed in these operations.
