The Israeli ground war in Gaza has been going on for almost two months. Despite the small size of the Gaza Strip and the fact that it does not have much depth, the Israeli army's advance has been slowing. Despite the superiority of the Israeli army in equipment and troops,
They also carried out multi-point offensives in an attempt to encircle the Gaza Strip in an all-round way, but they were repeatedly met with powerful snipers. Tanks fought alone in real combat, and the lack of infantry cover made them a lump of iron
It was not possible to defend itself against attacks in the face of the rapid maneuvering of the tunnels of the Hamas forces. The infantry did not make much progress, lacked actual combat experience, frequently became a target for sniping, and even suffered ambushes from time to time, causing serious **. In addition,
Armored vehicles of the Israeli army were also frequently ambushed. The Israeli army relied on heavy fire to demolish the building. For example, the latest release of the Qassam Brigades, an organization affiliated with Hamas, shows that
The group launched a daylight raid that showed a clear contempt for the Israeli army. ** It can be seen that about six armed members of the "Qassam Brigade" attacked a temporary camp of the Israeli army.
The "bunker" dug by the bulldozer was surrounded by dirt and there were no sentinels on guard. Despite the cautious actions of the armed elements of the "Kassan" brigade, they did not pose a real threat. The armed men were armed with AKMS and Type 56 assault rifles
As well as the usual heavy ** RPG-7 rockets, they stealthily advance on the dirt. They climbed up the mound to identify their target, and then rushed to a small shed with a flag on it. Eventually, ** shows that an Israeli soldier was killed and fell to the ground
There was also an M16A1 assault rifle in his hand, and it was clearly too late to react. Hamas fighters then dragged the Israeli soldier for some distance, possibly for follow-up prisoner exchange or propaganda purposes, eventually abandoning the soldier's body
Only the M16A1 rifle was taken away as trophies. The whole battle process was simple and crisp, showing that many of the armed personnel of the "Kasan Brigade" were fighting barefoot and showed stronger combat effectiveness than the Israeli army. In the ground battle in Gaza,
Israeli forces have carried out large-scale and indiscriminate bombardments in the hope of weakening the Hamas armed forces and destroying bunker buildings. However, after the ground war began, the Israeli army faced mobile ambushes from tunnels and constant RPG attacks, and the battle situation was chaotic.
By December, after the end of the brief ceasefire between the two sides, the Israeli offensive had become slower, probably because Hamas's will to resist had become more tenacious. The Israeli army's tactical stalemate, and the lack of effective coordination between infantry and tanks, led to the fact that many armored vehicles were reduced to fire by Hamas rockets. In addition to the coordination of infantry and tanks, the self-inflicted ingenuity of some Israeli soldiers has also brought more uncertainties to the battle situation. For example, an Israeli tank commander stuck his head out to observe in a street fight, only to be killed by Hamas fighters using anti-tank rockets. If the Israeli army cannot change its tactics, Hamas's raids will only intensify, and the true data of the Israeli army may not be revealed until after the war.
