Withdrawal of the special unit of the Israeli army from Gaza

Dovdvan is a special combat unit that has been highly concentrated in all areas of the West Bank in recent years. It operates and its purpose is to prevent operations and activities of resistance groups.

The Dodovan unit sometimes operates openly and in most cases secretly, and its forces are on standby 24/7. The members of this unit are tasked with arresting, assassinating and neutralizing the operations of resistance fighters. The aforementioned unit is also considered one of the most active units of the Zionist army, and its elements are carrying out missions around the clock that are either planned in advance or must be carried out suddenly and at the urgent request of Shabak.

Activities of the elements The said unit was completely secret at the beginning and they were under strict surveillance and censorship, and the names and photos of these forces were never published so that their lives would not be endangered, even the Zionist media have never mentioned the existence of such a unit in the Israeli army, and all that exists It has been revealed by the international media, and international circles consider the establishment of this unit in the Israeli army outside the framework of international laws.

The action of the Israeli army to withdraw this special unit from the Gaza Strip is being discussed in the circles. The politics of this regime regarding the third stage of the ground invasion of the Gaza Strip and the transition from the stage of extensive military operations and intense bombardments to the stage of advanced operations and reducing the intensity of the conflicts are still continuing. His talks with the political leaders of this regime warned about the erosion of the “military achievements” of the Israeli army during the ground invasion of Gaza in the absence of a political strategy from the Israeli cabinet for the day after the war.

In the warnings of the Chief of Staff The Zionist army has mentioned the concern of the Israeli military institutions about the power of Hamas to reorganize its ranks in the north of the Gaza Strip. >

These warnings came after many voices were heard in Israel’s security and military institutions, warning about the consequences of an armed intifada in the West Bank in the shadow of the escalation of security tensions. At the same time, the Israeli army must prepare itself for the scenario of an all-out confrontation on the northern border of occupied Palestine with Lebanon. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich for refusing to transfer tax funds to this organization, which worsens its economic situation, will lead to the escalation and explosion of the situation in the West Bank and will make the situation worse.

It was right that the Zionist army moved the special unit of Dovdovan from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank in the shadow of severe security tensions in the West Bank and many warnings about the occurrence of the third intifada in this region. But the Israeli military circles consider it a dangerous move to withdraw this important unit from Gaza, especially in the current tense situation and intense conflict with Hamas forces in many axes of the Gaza Strip.

“Yanio Kubovich” The military correspondent of Ha’aretz newspaper said in this context that the withdrawal of the Dovdovan unit from the Gaza Strip and its transfer to the West Bank shows the seriousness of the warnings about the occurrence of the third Palestinian withdrawal. This unit was stationed in the West Bank on normal days, but since the beginning of the Gaza war, there were limited forces left in the West Bank, most of them from the reserve forces of the mentioned unit, and other special forces were transferred to Gaza.

He emphasized. Kurd, since the beginning of the ground exercise in the south of the Gaza Strip, the unit affiliated with the commando brigade was mainly stationed in the Khan Yunis area next to the 98th brigade, and this unit (Dovedwan) is considered one of the most prominent units of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip. But in the shadow of the escalation of security tensions in the West Bank, the army decided to return this unit to this area for fear of violent operations in the West Bank; Especially after the increase of anti-Israeli operations in Israeli settlements.

Confusion of the Israeli army’s ground forces due to the fear of Hezbollah

“Amir Bohbout” military correspondent of Ibriwala website In turn, he announced that due to the increasing threats on the northern front from Hezbollah, the Israeli army has withdrawn all elements of the 36th brigade, including the Golani brigade, the 188th brigade, and the 7th brigade from Gaza. This retreat takes place after evaluating the war situation in different fronts. The purpose of this action is that the forces can reorganize themselves. He added, but the 36th Brigade must maintain its readiness; Because it may be necessary to deploy the forces of this brigade in the northern front due to the escalation of tensions with Hezbollah.

But Michael Milstein, the head of the Palestinian Studies Center at Tel Aviv University, said that Israel is at a big crossroads behind the withdrawal of a large group of Israeli soldiers from the Gaza Strip. because he has to choose between two opposite ways: weakening Hamas or returning all Israeli prisoners from Gaza.

He stated in an interview with Yediot Aharonot newspaper that while more than 3 months have passed since the war in Gaza, a There is a feeling of anxiety and concern among Israelis for the continuation of the war; Especially since Israel’s main goals in the war have not been achieved. Many are worried that the war in Gaza will become a constant war of attrition for Israel, and there is a feeling of disillusionment and despair among Israelis, considering the large gap between Israel’s war goals and reality.
