Gaza | Yesterday evening, the situation on the ground in areas north of the Gaza Valley developed remarkably, as the spokesperson for the occupying army announced the start of a ground operation in the axis which separates the north of the Gaza Strip from its center and south. As military aircraft launched dozens of raids in the center, north and east of Gaza City, Israeli tanks entered the neighborhoods of Al-Bura and Al-Na’ayma Street in the town of Beit Hanoun, in the far north of the Gaza Strip, under heavy artillery cover which extended to the towns of Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun and east of Jabalia. On the other hand, in the first moments of the incursion, the resistance was able to carry out a number of combat missions, since the “Al-Qassam Brigades” announced that their fighters had killed a soldier in the suburb of Beit Hanoun, before later confirming that they had detonated a “D-Nine” bulldozer with an “Al-Yassin 105” shell, they targeted enemy concentrations with a barrage of regular heavy mortar shells. This incursion, the second launched by the enemy army in less than a week, once morest a border town which received the greatest number of shots since the first day of the war, and the ground incursion into this town was continued for more than three consecutive months, indicates the size of the combat node that the city represents, knowing that the population of Beit Hanoun does not exceed 40 thousand people, and 90% of its houses were destroyed. Since the beginning of the war, the enemy has contemplated its downfall and. the end of the pockets of resistance was inevitable, given the intensity of the fire preparation that was used there during the first weeks of the war. Today, following nearly 200 days of fighting, the border town continues to dominate the scene. From its territory, the enemy army always announces that the resistance launched a salvo of missiles towards the cover cities, and in these the resistance was able to repeatedly carry out ambushes and quality operations behind enemy lines.
The occupying army might not ignore the fact that the resistance cells in the northern Gaza Strip are still doing well.
Faced with this reality, the occupying army might not ignore the fact that military resistance cells in the northern Gaza Strip were still going strong, with the New York Times quoting Israeli officials acknowledging that a stage had been reached where Israel might speak It will take years, not months, to completely crush the Hamas movement, because the resistance will be able at each stage to restore itself, taking advantage of its complex network of tunnels and its large human reserve of fighters. On the ground, field estimates indicate that the resistance has exhausted only a limited part of its human capabilities, given that the type and method of combat requires a very limited number of elements to carry out a large number of operations. In this context, a source close to the resistance who spoke with Al-Akhbar believes that the time and the passage of the war, although they constitute a situation of stress for the people and the environment of social resistance, offer a great field and military service for the resistance, which studies and analyzes the behavior of the occupation on a daily basis, which qualifies it to anticipate its next step.
