Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth: Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hajari referred to the Israeli army’s work in Rafah: “We planned a war that would last for about a year. #Gaza is perhaps one of the most difficult arenas in the world. We did not enter Rafah three or four months ago because there was no Operational conditions and capabilities for this.
According to him: “We will not deceive the public. Even after we deal with #Rafah, there will be terrorism. Hamas will move north and try to gather itself. Wherever Hamas returns - we will move.”
Important statement, what does it mean?
It means a clear and frank recognition of the resilience of the resistance and the strength of Gaza in the face of a devastating war led by the strongest force in the Middle East, with Western support and unprecedented Arab and regional conspiracy.
- Belief on the part of the military and security levels that the resistance will return to every place where their criminal army operated, and that it will be present - meaning the resistance - before and after the Rafah operation in the areas of the Gaza Strip.
- The change in the entity’s security and military theory is real, as they see that what they called “the year of fighting or the year of war” is necessary in light of the recovery of the resistance’s capabilities and its cohesion once again, and thus the Gazan threat exists despite more than 7 months of the war of extermination.
- It is preparing to carry out a second wave of large-scale attacks in the northern and Gaza regions in light of a miserable failure to prevent the resistance from again extending its control over the areas in which it operates, as if it had not been subjected to a ground campaign and actual fighting there.

In the end, it is a declaration of defeat that accompanies the moral failure that accompanied this crime from its beginning, and the feeling here that eliminating the resistance is impossible after they were promising themselves and their allies that seven months ago, means that we have reached that point of brokenness that will be followed by the slogan “Today we invade them and they do not invade us.” ..
