Hamas 'remains intact' despite Israeli operation in Gaza

Tel Aviv has not achieved substantial results since the launch of its ground operation, stressed Mouni Rabbani, an independent writer and analyst specializing in Palestinian affairs, senior fellow at the Institute for Palestine Studies, and contributing editor to the Middle East Report.

Rabbani told Sputnik that despite the fact that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been advancing in the Gaza Strip, they are still encountering fierce resistance.

Although the IDF claims to have entered Gaza City, the Israeli military is struggling to operate even in the border areas, which has supposedly been under Israeli control since the very first days of the ground operation launched on October 27, according to the analyst.

The IDF reportedly blew up the Hamas parliament building in Gaza.

ISRAELI GAINS AND LOSSES IN GAZA CITY

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) continues to advance in Gaza City and its surroundings, despite taking heavy losses as a result of the fierce resistance put forth by the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions.

On November 12, troops from the IDF’s Harel Reserve Brigade captured the al-Karameh area in northern Gaza. The area, which is named after a local hospital, is located right between the city of Beit Hanoun and the Jabalia refugee camp.

On the same day, the IDF announced that the 36th Armored Division, in cooperation with Navy forces, stormed and captured the Gaza port.

The IDF expanded its control within Gaza City on November 13. The Israeli Navy’s elite Shayetet 13 commando unit and the 401st Armored Brigade raided Gaza City’s Rantisi Hospital. The IDF alleged that its troops found weapons and information on hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7 attack in the hospital. However, video footage released by the IDF didn’t show much to back these allegations.

On November 14, the IDF made more gains on Gaza’s beach. The 162nd Armor Division, which entered Gaza from the north, completed the capture of the al-Shati camp and linked up with the 36th Armored Division which entered the Strip from the east, reaching the beach.

Also on November 14, troops of the 7th Armored Brigade and Golani Infantry Brigade captured several Hamas governmental buildings in the Gaza City neighborhoods of Sheikh Ijlin and Rimal.
Among the sites captured by the IDF were the Hamas parliament, its government complex, and the police headquarters. The governor’s house in Gaza, which allegedly housed commanders from Hamas’ military and intelligence, was also captured.

The next day, November 15, The IDF attacked al-Shifa hospital in Gaza city, where thousands of medical workers, patients and refugees are trapped. The Israeli leadership claims that the main military command center of Hamas is located under the hospital. Israeli troops stormed several parts of the hospital, but no hostages or senior Hamas leaders were found. The fate of the civilians trapped there remains unclear.

Israeli troops sustained some serious losses while advancing in Gaza City and its surroundings. On November 11, Hamas military spokesman said that 160 vehicles of the IDF have been damaged or destroyed since the start of ground operations in northern Gaza on October 27. The spokesman reported that 20 more vehicles were hit between November 12 and 13.

In addition, the IDF has lost at least 48 troops in northern Gaza as of November 15. More than 260 others have been reportedly wounded.

Overall,the IDF appears to be on its way to capture the remaining parts of Gaza City. However, Hamas and its allies could counterattack. While Israeli strikes on Gaza have so far killed more than 11,250 people, the vast majority of these casualties were civilians. Palestinian armed factions didn’t sustain many losses and it is safe to assume they maintain much of their military capabilities and infrastructure.

We were awaiting the ridiculous & comedy show of the Zionists regarding al-Shifa hospital.

After all, who would put a laptop & Kalashnikovs next to the magnetic MRI machine?
The IOF likely brought weapons & placed them in the hospital.

The evidence presented by the IOF is ridiculous & worthless. Israel once again failed to prove what it has been claiming for weeks.

Israel’s goal is to put pressure on hospitals & medical personnel.

What kind of idiot would think that creating a Jewish state in the heart ofthe-Arab world was a good idea?
The Arabs were simple minded, just like natives elsewhere, on their own land, & they were outwitted by European Jews, plain & simple!

The dumbest video

The US is ramping up air attacks on Syria in a bid to end Syria's decades-long support for Palestinian liberation: investigative journalist Vanessa Beeley told Sputnik that the US was using its aircraft based in the Middle East, along with its proxy forces inside Syria, to destabilize the Arab republic.

"We've seen the US activating the ISIS proxy forces to carry out attacks, particularly in the eastern districts to the east of Homs," Beeley said.

The response from President Bashar al-Assad's government has been to slowly increase pressure on the US troops illegally occupying north-east Syria's oil and gas fields.

"What we're now seeing is direct engagement between the US and the Syrian Arab Army," Beeley stressed. "This hasn't really happened before the attacks on the American illegal American occupation bases that are daily stealing Syrian oil from the north east and destroying agricultural resources."

The cowardly left and the Palestinian resistance


The Palestinian people need today more than ever clear and unambiguous support for their cause, their parties and their organizations, including the military.

We have been defending it for a long time and, of course, before October 7 of this year: the resistance is not made up of terrorist organizations, but of the legitimate representatives of the Palestinian people.

The fact of fighting the occupier does not make them terrorists, but rather the true defenders of the Palestinian motherland, even if it is with the meager weapons that can be smuggled or manufactured inside an open-air concentration camp like the one in Gaza. today converted into an extermination camp.

The Palestinian people have been “negotiating” for 75 years, seeing how their land is reduced, colonized, devastated, how its original inhabitants are expelled…, without the guarantors of the “rules-based world” doing or saying anything about it. At this historical moment that Palestine is going through, armed struggle is not only an option. It is the only possible option.

But in the West there is a light, bourgeois and postmodern left, which believes that the era of guerrilla decolonization struggles is over. A supposed left that, dormant, allows itself to be carried away by unipolar media currents. And so, time and again, they assume the dominant discourse as their own so as not to be left out of the political or economic board, that official subsidies are very juicy for NGOs that play at being progressive in appearance, but that, in reality, are absolutely functional. to the world order imposed from the Pentagon and Wall Street.

Despite the more than evident underlying ideological differences that we maintain, sometimes it is necessary to converge with this false left in mobilizations such as those being organized these days against the genocide in Gaza. In situations like the present, what is most important is to unite as many people and organizations as possible to show our common rejection of the massacres committed by the West in Palestine and try to stop this genocide as soon as possible. But for the sake of unity, we have sometimes had to hear savagery, such as the comparison between Israel and the Resistance, because both “murder civilians.” You couldn't be more hypocritical.

It has also hurt us that anti-imperialist intellectuals of global prestige have succumbed to media pressures and have assumed the discourse that Hamas and the rest of the Palestinian factions are terrorists, perhaps with the intention of opening the microphones of mainstream channels to them.

However, many of us knew or sensed that everything was, once again, pure propaganda. The Hamas action of October 7 was aimed mainly at capturing hostages and placing the Palestinian issue back at the center of world diplomacy through a demonstration of bravery, ingenuity and, why not say it, the use of intelligence technology. Vanguard.

If in previous exchanges, the return of a captured soldier was agreed for more than a thousand Palestinian prisoners, what could not be obtained with several hundred soldiers and civilians held by the resistance? Hence the extreme violence shown by the humiliated Zionist leaders who, since then, have acted like mad dogs, motivated by their desire for revenge.

Survivors of kibbutzs in the occupied territories next to Gaza said the Jewish army fired indiscriminately against militants and their captives. But, despite the importance of his statements, everything was silenced with a blanket of fake news of children with their throats cut that no one except the senile Biden saw, or images of charred children made with artificial intelligence.

Much of the world, including the cowardly left, was shocked by the invented crimes of Hamas. And "Israel" used it, as he always does, to try to appear as a victim, instead of the murderous executioner that he is. The voices of the resistance and its supporters were silenced and erased once again from the discourse permitted in the collective West. It already happened to us in Libya, when Gaddafi's bombings against his people that never existed were invented, or when the episode of the Kuwait incubators, supposedly destroyed by Saddam Hussein's armies... and so many other times.

But, coincidentally, all these propaganda operations always had credibility for pro-human rights groups, such as Amnesty International and others like it. Its permanent alignment with NATO's discourse has traditionally served to fuel wars and convince people with the most progressive convictions to support the most reprehensible war actions; that has always been its function and continues to be so today. Whether you like it or not, assuming the imperialist narrative is equivalent to approving to a certain extent what comes next, the bombings and genocides.

Luckily, in our case, statements are piling up confirming that the IDF (the Defense Forces of "Israel", what a contradiction) murdered hundreds of Jewish soldiers and civilians, in application of what is known as the ANIBAL doctrine, which forms part of the Israeli military code. Everything indicates that the leaders of this country prefer a dead Israeli citizen to a citizen captured by enemy militias.

Several days ago, recordings of Apache helicopters came to light, whose pilots have admitted that they were shooting at people, especially at those who were running. He said that Hamas had cleverly given the order that no one should flee when they heard the aircraft. So, until they realized the ruse, more than an hour later, they had already killed hundreds of their nationals with machine guns. Those deaths have been blamed on Hamas.

They also fired at the vehicles in which militiamen were fleeing with their captives. All of this is recorded and documented. The truth is slowly beginning to emerge. But it is even worse, there are known orders to shoot at military bases with missiles or tanks where, indeed, Hamas had a presence, but also imprisoned soldiers. They were all unceremoniously eliminated. But Israeli military casualties are still recorded as deaths at the hands of Hamas. Even when? (it's a rhetorical question...)

In other kibbutzim, IDF military commanders made the decision to “bomb houses with their occupants to eliminate the terrorists along with the hostages,” reveals another interview with a survivor published by the Israeli media Haaretz. The village of Be'eri was liberated by "Israel" after murdering 112 compatriots who appear as civilian deaths in Hamas's credit. Tell us who the terrorist here is...

Enough of the complexes, the half measures, the cowardice. The Palestinian people need today more than ever clear and unambiguous support for their cause, their parties and their organizations, including the military. Resistance is their right and it is their option as a people. That is why we must respect it.
