<p>Two weeks after the occupation army began withdrawing
from many areas in northern Gaza, the momentum of the ground operations
has shifted to the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City (Haraat al-Daraj
and Al-Tuffah), and the central camps (Al-Maghazi, Al-Bureij, and
Al-Nuseirat), alongside the major operation occurring in the city of
Khan Yunis in the southern part of the Gaza Strip. Resistance in the
northern regions does not seem inclined to allow a peaceful
repositioning of the occupation forces, as over the past two weeks, the
Resistance continued to carry out impactful operations that targeted
“Israeli” tanks in their new positions.</p>
<p>For instance, from Tuesday (January 2) night to Wednesday morning,
the resistance engaged in five clashes at different contact points.
These operations forced the occupation army to return to the
neighborhoods of Al-Tawam and <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/24799" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jabalia Al-Balad</a>,
in order to prevent the Resistance from reaching the occupation force’s
sleeping quarters and camps on the eastern and western outskirts of the
northern strip. In the past five days alone, the zionist entity has
daily reported dozens of its soldiers killed and injured.</p>
<p>In Al-Tuffah and Haraat al-Daraj, it is evident how closely the
resistance is predicting the occupation force’s behavior. Videos aired
by both the <a href="https://t.me/qassam1brigades/1180" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al-Qassam Brigades</a> and the <a href="https://t.me/sarayaps/17137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al-Quds Brigades</a>
not only display the Resistance fighters’ proficiency and bravery in
confronting invading soldiers and tanks, but also how they humiliate an
enemy that is armed with the most advanced in mechanized vehicles and
tanks. Within a distance of 10 meters, a resistance fighter armed with
anti-tank weaponry calmly waits for orders to launch Yassin-105 shells
at the most opportune time. The most prominent theme at this stage of
the war appears to be the powerful imagery, where the Resistance
showcases daily an impressive array of field performances, meticulously
depicted in what seems like footage captured by professional cameras.</p>
<p>As for the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the peak of the conflict
at the moment and the most intense battleground, the occupation has
deployed about 300 tanks and a considerable number of special forces.
Despite more than 30 days passing since the commencement of the attack
there, where the occupation’s tanks penetrated deep into the eastern and
western regions of Khan Younis, the resistance has not been pushed out
of the territory. Instead, resistance fighters emerge between alleys and
buildings, and from the balconies of houses, surprising occupation
soldiers from point-blank range, executing their tasks with an extreme
level of professionalism and calm nerves before disappearing.</p>
<p>Throughout its ground operation in that area, the occupation has been
unable to assert total control. It failed to conduct foot patrols to
sweep through homes, as is typically expected in any ground incursion,
and inadequately reinforced the less fortified areas inside the city.
Even at the Abu Oreiban site that houses occupation soldiers south of
Al-Zaytoun, which is heavily protected by the occupation’s earthen
barricades and swarmed with surveillance and espionage cameras, Al-Quds
Brigades executed <a href="https://t.me/sarayaps/17128" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a qualitative missile and artillery attack</a>.
Resistance fighters launched dozens of 107 mm guided missiles from
openings they had carved into a residential building opposite the site.
Additionally, they bombarded it with rockets, artillery, and accurate
mortar shells from various locations.</p>
<p>In summary, we can estimate that since the start of the ground
operation, the Resistance has destroyed over 1000 army vehicles of the
occupation and still maintains control of the battlefield. The
Resistance holds the reins because no front has collapsed, and no
faction has been defeated. Amidst all this, the so-called “cleansing”
operation conducted by the zionist forces in fiercely resistant areas
like Beit Hanoun, Jabalia, Sheikh Radwan, and Shuja’iyya resembles what
any physician who disregards their professional oath would do:
superficially treating wounds without care. Thus, the occupation is
forced to retreat from areas of the Strip that it occupied, burdened by
the disappointment of continued field ineffectiveness and the weight of
the blood of innocent Palestinians.</p>
