The possible attack of the Zionist army on Rafah; Tel Aviv’s third shaky step since the Al-Aqsa storm
| After failing in its previous claims about the presence of Palestinian resistance commanders and Zionist prisoners in Khan Yunis, the Zionist regime is talking about its plan to attack Rafah, as the southernmost area of the Gaza strip, after destroying this city. |
according to the report of the international group Tasnim News Agency, the war in the Gaza Strip has passed the middle of the fifth month. Kurds and Zionists announce their readiness to start ground operations in Rafah, the southernmost point of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army’s ground attack on Rafah is important in several ways, and paying attention to each of these dimensions, in addition to revealing one of the hostile aspects of the Zionist regime against the Palestinians, more than in the past, by showing the helplessness of the Zionists in confronting With resistance, it will explain the future course of war a little more clearly than the past.
Dimensions of the Zionist regime’s ground operations in Rafah
1. The last accessible point
When the Zionist regime started ground operations in the third week of the war, with this Claiming that the concentration of the resistance is in the north of the Gaza Strip, the north of the small Gaza area, including Gaza City, was the target of its attacks. But after a month or so of that operation, the Zionists did not reach any positive point, because on the one hand, neither the rocket attacks of the resistance decreased, nor the Zionist regime was able to achieve any of its goals, including the release of prisoners and the destruction realize the commanders of Hamas. Therefore, the Zionists continued to claim that the command of Hamas is in Khan Yunis and they should attack that point. Khan Yunis was the target of their brutal attacks while the resistance attacks continued. This time, the Zionists faced heavy ambushes and suffered heavy casualties in several resistance operations, which remained in the history of the Zionist regime’s wars with the Palestinian resistance. Now, after two and a half months of brutal attacks on Khan Yunis, the goals of the war have not yet been achieved. The only pride of the Zionists at this stage is the claim of the release of their two captives after the ground operation in Khan Yunis.
Rafah is the third and last geographical point of the Gaza Strip. is where the Zionists can start ground operations. In terms of achieving their defined goals, the Zionists are at the same point as the beginning of the war. More than 130 of their military prisoners are still in the hands of the resistance and they have not obtained anything from the resistance commanders except for a few photos and videos. The question is, what do they want to do if they cannot reach their defined goals at this stage?
2. The tragedy of mass murder
After the Zionist attack on the north of the Gaza Strip – which included Gaza City – Most of the population of northern Gaza flowed towards the central areas of the Gaza Strip and Khan Yunis. The ground attack of the Zionist regime on Khan Yunis caused the same population transferred from the north to gather together with the residents of the central areas in the south of the Gaza Strip and Rafah. Therefore, currently, the majority of residents of the Gaza Strip are present in Rafah. Some statistics speak of the presence of about 1,700,000 Palestinians in the Rafah region. Its square is inhabited by about 1.5 million people, in any way, it will create a human disaster; Because each bullet can endanger the lives of civilians and each bomb can cause many times more casualties than before. Therefore, a ground attack on Rafah will be accompanied by a human disaster and mass murder.
3. Rafah, the point of difference with Egypt
The Rafah region is the only land connection point of Gaza to the outside world; Therefore, from the point of view of political geography, it is considered the most important region of the Gaza Strip; Because the Rafah crossing is connected to the outside world through Egypt. For this reason, everything that happens in Rafah is directly related to Egypt. The regime will follow the Rafah crossing. This dominance will make Egypt’s hand not open in Rafah and its transits and Cairo will be in some way absolute subject to the future decisions of the Zionist regime after this aggression. This is the same issue that Egypt is unhappy about.
In addition, Cairo is worried about it, the Zionist attack on Rafah caused population transfer. be concentrated in Rafah towards Egypt. An issue that Egypt does not want at all, because it will confront the country with the Palestinian refugees crisis and will put the Egyptian economy – which is not in a good state – in a more critical situation.
Despite everything mentioned in the above note gone, the Zionist regime seeks to carry out a ground attack on Rafah at any cost. Because the Zionists are still worried about the blow that the resistance inflicted on them, and despite all the crimes they have committed, they have achieved almost nothing. However, many observers, by evaluating the performance of the Israeli army and resistance fighters, believe that the Zionist regime will fail in its possible attack on Rafah, and it seems unlikely that this regime will be able to make a special achievement for its own benefit.
