Military and strategic expert Major General Fayez Aldweiri has remarked that the management of battles in the northern sector of Gaza has significantly changed. The resistance’s defensive approach now relies on lone wolves tasked with surveillance, information relay, and orchestrating movements and fire. Meanwhile, a service tunnel discovered by Israeli forces in Khan Yunis, to the south, was described as being for public service purposes.

During his analysis for Al Jazeera, Aldweiri clarified that the previous approach depended on widespread attacks, with occupation forces penetrating the heart of Gaza City. However, now the numbers are limited to the highest estimate of a brigade.

He pointed out that the battle is currently characterized by mobile warfare, where the occupation aims to achieve incursions, and its movement speed relies on corresponding actions by the lone wolves scattered across multiple areas.

He added that these lone wolves’ task is to engage the infiltrating occupation forces by systematically dispersing their members in a manner consistent with the terrain’s nature. Areas have been prepared for ambush and annihilation. “If the occupation forces halt and retreat, they will be encircled, and if they advance, they will be confronted.”

“Unethical Bargaining”

Regarding a report by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, about 130 Israeli commanders and officers who participated in the Gaza war have sent a message to the cabinet and the chief of staff. They demanded that the return of displaced persons to the northern sector not be allowed before the return of prisoners, a move which Aldweiri deemed “unethical bargaining.”

Aldweiri detailed that the message reflected the crisis the occupation had reached, including a conviction that they could not militarily defeat the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). He confirmed that the systematic displacement process remains at the core of the Israeli plans.

Satellite Images

Aldweiri believes that satellite images broadcasted by Al Jazeera, which showed small numbers of Israeli military vehicles along the coastal strip of Gaza, are of limited significance and do not indicate any future moves, as they did not cover the main areas of the occupation army’s deployment.

The military expert noted that the primary force of the occupation is located in areas not covered by the images. He suggested that the focus should have been on the Wadi Gaza region, which hosts two brigades and is a force concentration zone, as well as the eastern area of Gaza City.

Khan Yunis Tunnel

Regarding the video the occupation army released about a tunnel discovered in Khan Yunis, which was claimed to be used for holding prisoners, Aldweiri described the tunnel as having good finishes but classified it as belonging to public service tunnels, not the combat and strategic type.

He further explained that this discovered tunnel does not lead to the extensive network built according to specific standards, where certain types do not intersect with others. He mentioned that the Israeli drone, controlled by the Qassam Brigades – the military wing of Hamas – will likely be reverse-engineered to improve the technical capabilities of the Zouari and Ababil drones.

Discussing the Israeli media’s mention of a changing face of battle in Gaza, Aldweiri highlighted that, in ongoing wars (World War, Vietnam War, Afghanistan War, Iraq War), it was necessary to change plans to adapt to field variations.

He emphasized that the Israeli army has suffered intelligence, operational, and tactical failures in Gaza, where “failure” marked their intelligence operations despite the significant military presence in the sector, pointing out that the war’s goals were not achieved. Aldweiri concluded that it is the military that determines changes in the battle’s nature.

Regarding forecasts for the future of Gaza’s battles, Aldweiri revealed that war is one of the means of politics, and it’s the political decision that controls the rhythm of battles, with the military executing the political decision that, in turn, seeks to prolong the war.
