The Hebrew media reveals what “Tel Aviv” is hiding from the world.. and 784 officers and soldiers have been injured since the start of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip.

Jerusalem – “Opinion of the Day” – Anatolia – Israeli journalist, Avery Gilad, said, “The disaster did not end on October 7, but rather it only began, as there will be more bitter news.”

In an article on the Israeli “Serogim” website, Gilad referred to the difficult news that arrives every day of the war in Gaza, recalling the incident of occupation army soldiers shooting 3 prisoners by mistake, describing the incident as a “tragedy.”

In this context, the Israeli journalist confirmed that “disasters will continue in the near future,” adding: “We are in a very difficult war, and what is more difficult is that we are against an enemy that is not stupid, and has been preparing for this war for years, while we were busy with trivial disputes among ourselves.”

In turn, the military affairs correspondent for the “Israel Hayom” newspaper, Lilach Shoval, indicated that the number of deaths of the occupation “army” since the beginning of its ground incursion into Gaza had risen to 139, adding that this matter was “unbearable,” and indicates “the continuation of fierce fighting throughout The sector, 8 weeks after the start of the ground maneuver, according to Al-Mayadeen.

Shoval also spoke about Israel’s failure to “defeat Hamas after two and a half months of continuous war, which has implications for the region, as the entire Middle East is awaiting the outcome of the war in Gaza.”

She explained, in this regard, that “any Israeli operation in Gaza, and any result achieved, will also have a very broad impact on what happens on the Lebanese border, and also on what happens in the West Bank, Iran, Yemen, and others.”

“Frustration and embarrassment”

In the same context, Zvika Haimovich, former commander of the “Air Defense” formation in the “army” of the occupation, said, “The announcement of operational control in Shuja’iyya, and of a decision in Beit Hanoun, and of control over the northern Gaza Strip, indicates embarrassment, frustration, and hesitation, and not a direction.” Accurate, every morning we hear about dead people whose names have been allowed to be published.”

Haimovitch added, addressing those who believe that “Israel” will go into a long operation in the north, at such a pace in terms of the home front, “the army,” the reserves, and erosion, saying that “Israel is losing flexibility and ability, as time passes.”

In this regard, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth spoke yesterday, in an article by journalist Nahum Barnea, that the news about the Israeli “army” expanding its ground incursion into the Gaza Strip indicates two things, the most prominent of which is its inability to achieve victory so far.

The second matter is that “the army smells the end and is trying to reach more achievements before declaring a ceasefire,” according to the Israeli journalist.
