Resistance Ambushes Impact Gaza War Dynamics; Exposing Tactical Gaps in Zionist Enemy Forces
Arab and Regional Affairs Experts Analyze the Messages and Impacts of Recent Qassam Brigades Operations on the Zionist Regime’s Army and Israeli Society
Reported by the English section of Webangah news Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Al Jazeera.
A month after the resumption of attacks by the Zionist regime’s army on the Gaza strip, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance has launched strategic operations against regime forces, inflicting losses and casualties on Israeli military personnel. Beyond causing damage to the army and weakening itS morale,these actions have disproven claims about the supposed end of Palestinian resistance forces’ combat capabilities.
fayez al-Duwairi, a military and strategic affairs analyst in the region, told Al Jazeera that the ambushes carried out by Qassam Brigades over 96 hours—comprising seven operations—were unprecedented in approach, demonstrating tactical advancements by these forces.He added that most of these operations have taken place in buffer zones controlled by the Zionist regime’s army, highlighting the significance of tunnels and the high operational capability of Qassam fighters behind enemy lines.The military expert emphasized that the resistance’s silence over the past month should not be interpreted as retreat but rather as a tactical response to developments within the Zionist regime’s army following the appointment of Yoav Gallant as its new chief of staff. this shift prioritized air force operations while substantially reducing the role of ground forces.
Al-Duwairi noted that during this period, the resistance lacked opportunities for operations but has sence repositioned itself to exploit any tactical gaps in the Zionist enemy’s strategy.
He affirmed that the resistance remains capable of carrying out surprise and painful strikes against the Zionist regime, notably—It can focus on deep strikes that have notable political and psychological impacts on Israeli society.
He added that 75% of the Resistance’s tunnel network remains operational, providing hamas’ Qassam Brigades with considerable maneuverability to plan and execute surprise operations.
The Message of the Resistance’s Ambushes
Al-Duwairi believes that the types of weapons used in these ambushes reflect tactical advancements by the Resistance. Yasin-105 rockets were deployed in the al-tuffah neighborhood ambush to target armored personnel carriers, while an RPG was used in Beit Hanoun to attack an unarmored vehicle.
Wassim Afifa, a political writer and analyst, described several recent operations by Resistance forces as carrying both political and military messages under highly sensitive conditions. He emphasized that after months of war,bloodshed,and severe blockade,Palestinian Resistance has carried out these bold operations deep within occupied territory—The Zionist enemy carried out an act that exposes the hollowness of Tel Aviv’s claims about eliminating Palestinian resistance,once again scrambling the negotiation table’s documents.Afifa stated that the Beit Hanoun operation marked a turning point in Hamas’ ambush tactics, as resistance forces emerged from tunnels just 300 meters from the buffer zone and executed a precise ambush. This resulted in the death of one Zionist soldier and injuries to several others,while all resistance fighters withdrew safely.She also highlighted the political dimensions of these ambushes, emphasizing that field operations by the resistance serve its leaders’ political agenda. This operation is being leveraged as pressure on the Zionist regime’s cabinet to accept Hamas’ recent proposal for a comprehensive ceasefire and full withdrawal of forces from Gaza.
Dr. Mohannad Mustafa, another analyst specializing in internal affairs of the Zionist regime, believes that this recent Palestinian operation…These internal rifts within the Zionist society have intensified and exposed the falsity of claims made by the leaders of the Zionist regime’s military, even regarding the possibility of freeing Israeli prisoners through military operations. In other instances, without any significant progress, they have faced continued setbacks for the Israeli army.
This contradiction highlights a growing distrust in the military leadership of the Zionist regime, particularly under conditions where even staunch supporters of its army are questioning policies driven by extremist political agendas within Zionist society.
The analyst noted that increasing political pressures on Zionist society are causing further instability in public opinion and a lack of confidence in military operations. However, despite America being the most influential player in this era, it is possible that Zionist society may witness unpredictable civil unrest and transformations in future stages.
He emphasized that Israel’s internal divisions could be substantial enough to bring an end to this war with minimal concessions.The text appears to be in Persian (Farsi) but contains encoding issues that make it unreadable. Here is the corrected and properly encoded Persian text for translation:
