Military and strategic expert Hatem Karim Al-Falahi said that the Israeli occupation operation in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, was based on incorrect Israeli estimates. He said that it is not possible to give a real time period in the issue of achieving goals in built-up areas.

Al- Falahi acknowledged that Israeli ground operation weakened the capabilities of the resistance factions, but stressed that they were not eliminated. He touched on a number of pressures facing Israel: In addition to Washington's pressure, Tel Aviv is under the threat of theGaza and West Bank fronts, and it may open the Lebanon front.
