The military and strategic expert, Colonel Hatem Karim Al -Falahi, believes that the occupation army suffers from deep crises in Gaza Strip The tension of the relationship between the military and political leadership includes a severe shortage of manpower and the collapse of morale.
Al -Falahi places at the forefront of challenges the severe psychological crisis between soldiers, which is reflected in dozens of suicides and thousands of psychological injuries, in addition to the apparent shortage of equipment, except for the refusal of the military leadership to bear additional tasks such as distributing aid.
According to the data of the Israeli army, since the beginning of the aggression against Gaza in October 7, 2023 883 soldiers, 439 of them were killed in land battles in the Gaza Strip, which started on the 27th of the same month.
The data also indicates that 6032 soldiers were injured, of whom 2745 are in land battles in the Gaza Strip.
Israel is secretive – according to observers – on most of its human and material losses, preventing photography and circulating images and video clips, and prohibits information about media means about losses except through bodies subject to their strict control.
In this context, Al -Falahi believes that the recent resistance operations against the Israeli mechanisms revealed a clear tactical weakness, especially in the northern Gaza Strip.
In his analysis, Al -Falahi is based on the injury of soldiers wounding after the launch of an anti -armor missile towards an engineering mechanism, which comes as part of a escalating context of military operations.
Al -Jazeera had published exclusive scenes of two ambushes that you implemented Al -Qassam Brigades The military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation) middle Khan Yunis Within the series “David stonesDuring them, soldiers killed and destroyed tanks and military vehicles.
The scenes showed the bombing of the mechanisms and the engagement with the forces from a zero distance and in open areas, and the talk of fighters during the implementation showed a knowledge of even the secret to which these forces belong and what they are doing.
It was Israeli Broadcasting Corporation She said that Palestinian fighters have become aware of movements and positions Israeli forces And they attack on the basis.
Quality operations
According to Al -Falahi’s evaluation, these operations show various “qualitative operations”, whether in Jabalia, Sheikh Jarrah or other regions of the north.
He believes that targeting the engineering forces specifically bears of great strategic importance, given that the Israeli army depends on these forces in the booby -trapping of homes and detonating them, in addition to opening roads and removing mines.
From a military perspective, the use of anti-armor missiles exposes-according to Al-Falahi-a clear fragility in the Israeli mechanisms, including the “D9” mechanisms, people tankers and even tanks in front of explosive devices and missiles.
Al -Falahi considers this matter part of the effective tactics adopted by the resistance, which puts a “very large burden” on the Israeli engineering forces.
These combined factors make the task of controlling the Gaza Strip for a semi -impossible period of time, and pushing the Israeli army towards a continuous “war of attrition” without a clear horizon for military resolution, according to the vision of Al -Falahi.
