Israeli newspaper: We will suffer more casualties in Khan Yunis than in Gaza

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, Yediot Aharonot newspaper wrote today (December 14) in the midst of a heavy battle in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, that the Israeli army may have suffered more casualties in this city than in Gaza City. And be spent.

This newspaper, written by “Nahum Barnia”, asked the Israeli military and political circles to lower their expectations from the Israeli army in Khan Yunis. He wrote: “The titles of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are misleading, the IDF’s ground operations in the Khan Yunis area will not be the same in size and strength as the ground operations in the north, not really; It’s time to lower expectations, a serious look at the options available now leads us to conclude that a ground invasion of Khan Yunis will take no more than 10 days to two weeks.

Nahum Bernia further wrote that two million displaced persons and also the pressure of the United States will cause Israel to face restrictions in the field of operations, on the other hand, there is a risk of arson due to the heavy bombardment of Israeli soldiers on the ground. It threatens.

In the continuation of Yediot Aharanot’s report, it is stated: “The cost we are paying in Gaza now is very worrying, the battle of Khan Yunis will probably cost us more.”

Yesterday “Hisham Ibrahim”, the commander of the Israeli Armored Corps, announced that they will withdraw from this area under the pretext that they have succeeded in achieving their military goals in the north of the Gaza Strip. He did not mention exactly which goals have been achieved, Gaza City is still under the control of Hamas and the forces of Ezzedine al-Qassam still have the possibility of moving from north to south through tunnels.

In this regard, one of the commanders of al-Qassam battalions announced on Sunday evening that 70% of the Israeli soldiers have left the northern Gaza Strip due to the attacks of the resistance forces and operational failure.

Concern about the cessation of American aid

“Nahum Barnia” continued his report in Yediot Aharonot newspaper. He wrote that the American support to the Israeli army continues, but the American pressures make the cabinet consider the issue that if the support stops, the decisions of the cabinet and the structure of the operation will be affected.

He wrote: “The White House is seriously concerned about next year’s elections and the voters and the young generation of the Democratic Party; Despite the fact that Joe Biden insists on granting 14 billion dollars in aid and diplomatic and military support to Israel, these aids have not yet been approved and the Republicans have considered difficult conditions for these aids, and now a part of the Democrats are also concerned about Israel’s policies in The Palestinians have already defined conditions”.

According to this newspaper, “In the White House, Israel is considered rebellious and reckless, Their opinion is that Israel is defiant in anything related to a serious discussion about the Gaza Strip and the Palestinians, and they consider Israel to be reckless regarding the violent attacks on Gaza cities and the failure to respond to warnings about the humanitarian disaster.

By Nahum Bernia, “The question is not who is right in this debate, but how long Israel can continue to defy; Our relationship with the United States is more than the government is able to understand. and said: “When you pull a civilian complex into the arms of the enemy, then you have turned a tactical victory into a strategic defeat; I have explained this to Israeli leaders many times, they have a moral responsibility to protect civilians and they must be strategically bound to this issue.” Biden had also spoken similar words before.

“Nahyom Barnia” considered the attack on the outskirts of Khan Yunis as part of the second stage of the war (ground attack) and wrote that if Let’s assume that the ground operation in the city of Khan Yunis will start soon, which is likely to be the case, the Israeli army should not drag the battle to Rafah, because the displaced people will not be able to go there. He emphasized that the second phase of the war will end in Khan Yunis.

According to the author, civilians in Gaza took refuge in Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis yesterday, which is the largest hospital. It is considered the south of the Gaza Strip, and if Israel considers Nasser Hospital to be the command center of Hamas, like al-Shifa Hospital, will it attack this hospital as well? It will be a big problem for the Israeli army, and in case of an attack on Nasser hospital, it will open a new front against itself in the White House and Western media.

Questions and concerns raised in this article. Yediot Aharanot is in a situation where the occupiers in Gaza have suffered heavy casualties, to the extent that the Zionist regime’s Channel 12 yesterday quoted military analyst “Barham Meir” as saying that 25 armored vehicles of the Zionist regime were destroyed in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours. . This analyst of the Zionist regime added that 75 soldiers were also killed, which is unprecedented in the history of this regime. However, it must be said that Israel announces its casualty figures in a drop-by-drop fashion to leave less psychological burden on the military forces and their families. According to the observers of the war, the Israeli army abandoned Gaza City. and concentrated in the city of Khan Yunis; In an urban war, it is completely different from a classic battle, and several variables, including the complex tunnel network of Hamas, the presence of a large number of civilians in the area of ​​fire, and the increasing pressure of the international community, will cause the Zionist army to face strategic and tactical poverty day by day to continue the battle.

Let’s put all this next to the words of Tamir Pardo, the former head of the Mossad, in an interview with the Zionist TV Channel 12, who admitted: “Hamas with a temporary ceasefire is a powerful card to and Tel Aviv will have to pay a heavy price for his release from Gaza.”
