</li></div></ul>
<p>Once again, Israeli occupation forces have <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--storms-al-shifa-hospital--murders-officer-working-w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stormed the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza</a>,
after fabricating yet another hoax to justify their crimes and
recurrent invasions throughout the war. However, they leave
empty-handed, besides terrorizing and threatening the lives of
Palestinian patients and refugees in the hospital. </p>
<p><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iof-grappling-with-psychological-challenges--diminished-mora" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hani al-Dali, an expert on Palestinian Resistance affairs</a>, detailed to <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong> on Monday what the occupation's goals from the assassination of the martyr Faiq Al-Mabhouh and the storming of Al-Shifa were. </p>
<h3>Who was Fayeq Al-Mabhouh? </h3>
<p>Al-Dali revealed that martyr Fayeq Al-Mabhouh was the brother of
Al-Qassam Brigades' martyr, Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh, and had been
incarcerated for 15 years in Israeli prisons. Al-Mabhouh came from a
family who has offered countless sacrifices for Palestine and the
Al-Aqsa Mosque. </p>
<p>Reportedly, Al-Mabhouh had been conducting his work publicly within
the Ministry of Interior and National Security, which is a civilian
apparatus as per international law. Al-Dali clarified that Al-Shifa
Hospital includes a specialized department for the ministry itself which
manages and safeguards the hospital, which is chartered within the
law. </p>
<p>Al-Mabhouh was martyred after he refused to succumb to the
occupation's demands to surrender himself. Instead, he clashed with the
occupation forces, <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--admits-to-death-of-soldier-5-months-later" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed a First Sergeant of the Nahal Brigade</a>, and wounded others with his police gun. </p>
<h3>The state of humanitarian aid deliveries</h3>
<p>Al-Dali also stated that the Palestinian police forces, Al-Mabhouh at
their front, contributed to the attainment of humanitarian aid for the
people of Gaza, particularly in the north, and confirmed their success
with the help of local clans and popular committees, as well as the
rejection of cooperation with the Israeli occupation by the Palestinian
people. </p>
<p>Al-Dali noted that the cooperation of all Palestinian communities in
Gaza foiled "Israel's" disruptive plots which aimed at fueling chaos and
portraying a false image of disorganization regarding aid deliveries to
justify its colonial project, be it through the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/irish-pm-calls-out-us-support-for--israel--at-white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United States intervention</a> or the imposition of a new authority. </p>

<h3>''Israel' gained nothing from Al-Shifa attack'</h3>
<p>Regarding the attack on Al-Shifa Hospital, Al-Dali said "Israel"
claimed Resistance leaders resided in the medical complex, and recalled
the first time the occupation forces stormed it under the same guise
that misled the Israeli and global public opinion. However, the IOF left
Al-Shifa without any evidence of the presence of Resistance personnel
or tunnels, after destroying all the hospital's amenities. </p>
<p>Al-Dali then affirmed that the Al-Shifa attack indicated the
occupation's disarray among its military forces and the fickle nature of
its field movements. 'Israel', according to Al-Dali, is trying to
enforce a delusional victory, but <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--lost-the-war-against-hamas--res--general-yitzhak-br" target="_blank" rel="noopener">consistently fails at achieving any win</a>, signifying a loss of hope in any significant triumph despite dragging the war to its sixth month. </p>
<h2>Hamas responds to Al-Mabhouh's assassination</h2>
<p><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/gaza-office-holds--israel--responsible-for-abducted-journali" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Protected by international humanitarian law</a>,
the assassination of Al-Mabhouh is more proof of the Nazi enemy's
attempts at inciting chaos, hitting societal security in the Gaza Strip,
and prolonging the state of starvation our people are suffering from,
in compliance with the displacement and genocide plans it has plotted
against us."</p>
<p>Hamas, however, affirmed that the Palestinian people and their
security forces continue to strike the enemy's plots and prevent them
from spreading chaos and disorganization in our resilient society.</p>
