The Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip enters its 120th day amid continuing battles and clashes between the Israeli occupation forces and the Palestinian resistance, in various areas of the Strip.
Despite the withdrawals carried out by the Israeli occupation army in the areas of the northern Gaza Strip, they are not complete, as military and strategic expert Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi confirms, as battles and sniper operations continue in the western neighborhoods of Gaza City.
Al Jazeera's correspondent confirmed that violent clashes were taking place between the Palestinian resistance and the occupation forces in the western areas of Gaza City.
Al-Duwairi believes that the Israeli forces that are now clashing with the Palestinian resistance in Tal al-Hawa and the al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City are linked to the forces present in the Gaza Valley, and that they were there for several reasons, the first of which is to occupy al-Zaytoun, Tal al-Hawa, and Sheikh Ajlin in Gaza City, and prevent them from providing support to the central region. .
He said that the Israeli 36th Division failed and the 99th Division was sent in its place, which was able to separate the camps (Al-Bureij, Al-Maghazi, and Al-Nuseirat), but the Israelis were afraid of the resistance moving from the north of the Gaza Valley to its south, so they kept two brigades in that area.
Commenting on the clashes between the Palestinian resistance and the occupation in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, the military expert explained that the southwestern area of Gaza City is still witnessing clashes, and that forces belonging to the occupation army are present there.
He added that the Palestinian resistance poses challenges to the occupation army in the southwestern area of Gaza City, and it lures it, especially as it tries to achieve its clear goals, which are searching for tunnels, Israeli prisoners, and Palestinian resistance.
