Warnings that Hamas has a strategically devastating ambush awaiting the Israeli occupation forces in Rafah

A critic of the plan to invade Rafah was Israeli Reserve Major General Israel Ziv, the former chief of the IOF's Operations Division, who warned that Hamas had a strategically devastating ambush awaiting the Israeli occupation forces in Rafah. "It would end with the [IOF] leaving Rafah with its tail between its legs."

He cautioned that any ground operation in Rafah carried unprecedented risks, surpassing previous engagements in the Gaza Strip.

He cautions against underestimating the resilience of Hamas and anticipates a scenario where the IOF retreats from Rafah, mirroring past withdrawals that allowed Hamas to consolidate its control.

Former commander of the Israeli Air Defense Force Reserve Brigadier General Zvika Haimovich stressed that there was no definitive victory in such conflicts, urging a pragmatic assessment of achievable objectives in order for the IOF not to get too carried away.

From Bisan on IG:

“I’ve spent my whole life in Gaza and I’ve never felt hope like now. Magical feelings running in my veins.”

Students - the whole world is watching. And they’re inspiring everyone and reigniting the hope in Gaza.
Don’t stop. Never back down.

A Free Palestine in our lifetime, God Willing.
