The battle of "jihad" in Gaza

Looking at the battle that took place between the occupation war machine, armed with all that one imagines of superior weapons in all directions, and a non-major Palestinian organization, it is for the third time an achievement for this team or faction that was able to drag the enemy into a battle that destroys its prestige, no matter how great the price was on the part of "Jihad" and the Palestinian people. .

In the battle or the continuous Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank together, the occupation did not hesitate to use all its combat means and human tools, represented by the army, political support, and the colonialist attacks, which apparently turn into a strategy of attrition for the Palestinian effort, especially the popular resistance against it.

Perhaps it can be said that what happened represented a case of Zionist luring of the "Islamic Jihad" faction with all the elements of luring and focused targeting of its active leaders, whether in the West Bank or Gaza, and perhaps it came to send messages outside Palestine in which the Israeli asserts that it will not remain silent and will continue to advance in the area of serial killing, but with limits. He draws it, and he does not accept threats or agreements from here or there that affect the reality of his hegemony and his fiery control over the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

The enemy was able to exploit the aggression in the West Bank, which has been continuing intensively since the beginning of the year, and later on the Strip, in perpetuating division and discord between the Palestinian factions, no matter how covered they are by what it calls the “joint room” during the battle of “Revenge of the Free” 5/2023 AD, as it called it “Jihad”, but the truth is What is clear is that the attrition has paid off with the extended Israeli military assault throughout the West Bank and then into the Gaza Strip on the one hand, and in the carefully calculated isolation of a small faction to make it an example in front of the big one, whether in the West Bank or Gaza, as if it was a message to the two major factions “Fatah” and “Hamas” credibly. To say that I strike the weak with a blow that breaks the heart of the old is a modification of the saying of Antarah bin Shaddad.

I believe that the biggest winner from the state of continuous daily attrition in the West Bank and Jerusalem in particular, and then the factions’ isolation one after the other (see the story I ate on the day I ate the white bull) that followed the first case, i.e. the division and fragmentation between the two parts, is the Israeli leadership that succeeded in the strategy of creating the rift in the first place and deepening it until The separation between the West Bank and Gaza is now taking a military, political, and geographical direction, leading to a social and psychological one.

And what followed with his war of attrition that separated the sector from what is happening in the West Bank, as if we live in two separate societies virtually, so there is no response or interaction to what is happening in either of the two parts from the other, and then in the case of monopolizing each group, group or faction.

The idea of resistance in both its violent and peaceful parts within the logic of the people's long-term war is being used with caution and restraint by the Palestinian National Authority, as is the case with the ruling "Hamas" authority in Gaza.

The difficult condition of the Palestinian body requires a serious pause. It calls for intense review and bitter self-criticism in the north and south. Silence is no longer possible and the vast areas of disagreement are no longer able to keep the issue under the spotlight, and what is required in light of all this and the deepening of the Israeli aggression and its Judaization of the land, the sky and the air, and its series of killing of human beings, is that the political leadership rearrange its priorities in light of understanding the meaning of the “unity of arenas”. Yes, but In light of the understanding that the one hand that hits hard, whatever the meaning of force, is the hand that is able to achieve victory.

The Palestinian National Authority lost from what happened in the Strip, and it loses daily from the state of attrition in the West Bank, and Hamas clearly lost, despite the firm statements in support of the "jihad" regarding what is happening in the West Bank and the actual deadly silence, and what happened with the aggression on Gaza and the monopoly of "jihad". No matter how much we give “Hamas” the authority, or the Palestinian National Authority as an excuse, the Palestinian people do not understand that hands are not extended to shake hands, and they do not understand the people’s war without the meaning of unity of blood and unity of decision.
