The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, suggested that the occupation army would resort to a double simultaneous attack on the north Gaza strip And its south, at a time when he stressed that the areas that the occupation did not enter in Gaza are the “egg egg”Al-Qassam Brigades“The military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement”agitation“.
During his military analysis for Al Jazeera, Al-Duwairi confirmed that the Israeli bombing after the end of the temporary truce affected various areas of the Gaza Strip.
He stressed that what is coming is more difficult, harsher, and broader in scope, “and we must expect a stage of escalation that will lead to one of the two ways out: either a harsh pressure card to return to the negotiating table on acceptable terms, or an expansion of the military framework.”
The military expert based his prediction of the “worst scenario” of a full attack on the Gaza Strip, based on the warnings that the occupation army sent to Khan Yunis, saying that it was a “dangerous combat zone,” and most of its residents demanded that they flee to the city of Rafah in the far south.
He pointed out that the defensive plan of the resistance elements in Khan Yunis was tested only once before the start of the ground operation in the northern Gaza Strip, and said that the Al-Qassam Brigades did a good job at that time in confronting an invading Israeli force and leaving it dead and wounded.
He expected the occupation to focus on the city of Khan Yunis in the south because it is the largest in area, likely entering it through its two sides with the aim of separating it from Rafah, as well as from Deir al-Balah and the camps in the central region, and “then developing operations if it achieves success.”
He stressed that these southern areas need intensive bombardment to flatten the land before entering by land, but at the same time he doubted that the Israeli attack there would be the same as it was in the north.
“The igloo's egg”
Regarding the possibility of the return of Israeli military vehicles to Gaza and its north, Al-Duwairi explained that the occupation withdrew its equipment from most areas and squares before the temporary truce took effect to rehabilitate and equip it near the fence, and some of it was stationed inside the Gaza envelope.
He added that entering the areas into which he had penetrated again is not easy, but it will not be as difficult as the first stage after overcoming some obstacles, and he stressed that he is talking here about freedom of movement and not the nature of resistance.
Al-Duwairi believes that the Israeli operations require two months, not a month, as a senior Israeli military official told the Financial Times newspaper, attributing this to the fact that some areas of Gaza were entered by the occupation within 24 hours, most of which are empty agricultural areas such as Juhr al-Dik.
According to the newspaper, the Israeli military official believes that it takes two weeks to a month for the northern Gaza Strip, and that only 40% of Gaza City has been completed because operations in the northern region are incomplete and have not been completed yet.
In this context, Al-Duwairi said that the incomplete operations are the difficult areas, which are Baydat Al-Qabban and the strike forces for the Al-Qassam Brigades, especially in the Al-Tuffah area and Al-Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Salah Al-Din Street.
