Falconpowers- ( Gaza) – Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant stated that the Israeli forces, which withdrew from the Gaza Strip on Sunday, did so in preparation for future operations, including in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
During a meeting with military officials, Galant, as quoted in a statement from his office, added, “The forces are leaving and preparing for their next missions, and we have seen examples of such missions in Operation ‘Alshefaa Hospital,’ as well as their upcoming mission in the Rafah area.
” Observers believe that this step, following a significant operation carried out by Hamas that resulted in the deaths of 14 soldiers according to a military statement by the Al-Qassam Brigades, and met by the Israeli army’s official acknowledgment of the deaths of four soldiers without disclosing the actual number as usual, is considered a clear defeat for the Israeli military, as many Western political analysts confirm.
The conflicting Israeli military statements regarding justifying the withdrawal are seen as evidence of the force’s retreat and the defeat of the Israeli army.
What the observers reaffirm is that the Israeli army has not achieved anything in its war in Khan Yunis, similar to other areas in the Gaza Strip, which led to the same outcome.
