In the fierce confrontation of the ground war in Gaza, the Israeli offensive gradually lost its strength and showed a weak and unrealistic side. Although the Chief of the IDF General Staff claimed that he would not shoot at Gazans holding white flags, in reality the Israeli forces did not hold the Israeli hostages accountable after they shot them. In the process, the will of the Palestinians remained strong in their resistance, and fierce street battles were staged in the Gaza Strip every day, showing real fighting scenes. In this brutal battle, the Palestinians openly demonstrated a powerful blow to the Israeli army**, which fully proved the huge losses suffered by the Israeli army.
On December 18, 2022, the situation in the Gaza Strip took a new turn. For the first time, the "Kasan" brigade, which is controlled by "Hamas", has captured footage from the GoPro camera of the Israeli army, revealing the losses suffered by the Israeli army in the battle. This ** shows a scene where a Merkava tank is easily destroyed by an RPG rocket, exposing the vulnerability of Israeli army tanks. During the street fighting raid, the Israeli infantry was forced to exchange fire with death squads, risking their lives to launch RPGs. The latest ** shows that a group of Israeli infantry hiding on the side of the tank was hit by rockets fired from the other direction by Palestinian death squads, resulting in at least 10 Israeli soldiers**. This situation not only highlights the poor quality level of the Israeli army and its lack of sufficient fighting qualities, but also further deepens the impression of the defeat in the battle for Gaza.
At the same time, the Palestinian resistance forces are not only fighting to demonstrate their strength, but also to the defeat of the Israeli army in this war. This obvious disadvantage may be related to strategic mistakes and lack of real combat experience within the Israeli army. IDF military operations are morally questionable, especially in cases involving innocent civilians. This is perhaps one of the main reasons why Israel has lost its advantage in the war in the Gaza Strip.
In this war, the Israeli army's tactics and decision-making have been revealed to be clearly deficient, while the Palestinian side has succeeded in pushing the Israeli army to a disadvantage by demonstrating its combat effectiveness and flexibility. This also highlights the crucial importance of the quality of the armed forces and actual combat experience in modern warfare. Through this series of successful actions, the Palestinian side has not only effectively counterattacked the Israeli army, but also gained support in the international community.
On the other hand, the steadfast resistance of the Palestinian people underscores their quest for their rights and dignity. The fierce street fighting that takes place every day in the Gaza Strip shows that they are willing to fight for freedom and independence at all costs. This spirit of resistance has gained widespread attention and support in the international community, making Israel's actions even more questionable.
During a series of ongoing battles, the Israeli army was under heavy pressure, which led to the collapse of their fighting mentality. The intense bombardment of the air force not only frenzied the artillery units, but also used direct fire to inflict devastating blows on Gaza. As the fighting escalated further on 18 December, the Israeli army demolished buildings in Gaza using M109A1 A2 self-propelled guns, and shockingly outperformed Merkava tanks with 155-millimeter high-explosive shells.
On the battlefield, Hamas death squads carried out powerful attacks on Israeli tanks, putting the Israeli army in an extremely critical situation. Although the Israeli army has been fighting for more than 70 days on a battlefield of 365 square kilometres, it has not been able to capture the city, and the chances of victory are becoming increasingly slim. The Palestinian side has fired a steady stream of rockets and missiles, forcing Israeli front-line troops to struggle with their lives. In order to change the current stalemate, Israeli special forces were urgently deployed to the front line, but this also brought great psychological pressure and serious damage to Israel's international image. Since 7 October, Israel has taken unscrupulous actions on the battlefield and has even been implicated in some immoral acts, which have made the overall situation even worse.
The difficult situation faced by the Israeli army underscores the enormous pressure they are under during the war. Air and artillery bombardment led to psychological fatigue, while the assault on the city bogged down. At the same time, a powerful counterattack by the death squads further weakened Israel's strategic advantage. In this protracted conflict, the Hamas side has firmly defended its territory and has taken effective countermeasures to effectively delay the Israeli offensive.
However, the battle also had far-reaching consequences for Israel. Not only military difficulties, but also psychological distress and damage to the international image. The extreme measures taken by the Israeli army in the conflict have sparked widespread concern and criticism, leading to international questioning of its position. Such actions have not only exacerbated tensions in the region, but also put Israel in a diplomatic and military dilemma. It has deepened the hostility of the Palestinian people towards Israel. This hostility not only has an impact on the current conflict, but is likely to continue to breed hatred and conflict in the years to come.
