The occupation army in Gaza faces significant challenges requiring different and complex approaches and strategies. This shortage in manpower puts increasing pressure on the army’s operational capabilities, prompting it to seek innovative ways to increase its soldier numbers, including recruiting people from the Jewish diaspora at a rate of 700 annually. The army is currently studying a comprehensive strategy to target Jewish communities in the United States and France. Military challenges faced by the occupation army in Gaza City differ from those in other areas like Beit Lahia, requiring different approaches and strategies. Current military operations focus on Jabalia, Shujaiya, and the Tuffah neighborhood, with two brigades in the Zeitoun area where the main effort of Israeli forces is concentrated.

Military data indicates that the major operation in the Zeitoun neighborhood has not yet started, as the occupation army is first preparing the ground before using air support in a later phase. This approach reflects lessons learned from previous operations and challenges faced by the occupation in urban areas. Hanna links military decisions to political goals, explaining that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to negotiate for the release of prisoners and insists on five main objectives including destroying Hamas, disarming it, and preventing its rule. These objectives reflect the occupation’s vision of controlling the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the Palestinian resistance benefits from these challenges, having developed an integrated weapon system that achieves high returns with low investment. The targeting of the military bulldozer by Al-Qassam Brigades reveals a deep understanding of the nature of Israeli military movements.

The military tactics used reflect a high level of planning and training, involving multiple phases of monitoring, preparation, and execution, with optimal use of available resources in the local environment and benefiting from the enemy’s military leftovers.
