The war on Gaza and the six assassinations

There is no doubt that the Islamic Jihad movement presented a major military, political and media battle over the course of 5 days that won the admiration of the street, specialists and followers. However, there is a question asked by many, which is how did Israel manage to assassinate six of the senior leaders of the jihad and its military decision-makers before and during the battle ?!

The first assassination, which included three senior leaders, came as a surprise and treacherous from the Zionist enemy, as it dealt a blow to Commander Jihad Al-Ghannam, Commander Khalil Al-Bahtini and Commander Tariq Ezz El-Din, days after a truce agreement was sponsored by international parties following a military escalation waged by the resistance factions in Gaza in response to the martyrdom of the leader in Jihad. Khader Adnan is in Israeli prisons, and these leaders had returned to their semi-normal lives after the cease-fire understandings.

Israel took advantage of this situation to launch a military strike on the three leaders in their homes, and we cannot consider this a security success, as Israel did not succeed in reaching them except by treachery after they returned to their homes according to the truce understandings, and this confirms that the security measures that the targeted leaders were taking prevented access. To them during the implementation of the operation to respond to the assassination of the martyr Khader Adnan, so Israel waited for their return to their homes after reaching a truce agreement, and then pounded it on them and their families to ensure their assassination.

As for the three assassinations of commanders Iyad al-Hassani, Ali Ghali, and Ahmed Abu Daqqa during the battle of "Revenge of the Free," they came while they were carrying out mobile field work that required them to stay in contact in various ways with the field commanders. In every war, such field commanders are at risk of being assassinated because they are forced to be on the ground in the midst of the fire, and Israel has already succeeded in assassinating some of them during the battle of "Saif al-Quds" and the 2012-2014 wars.

Thus, the assassination of these three leaders confirms that they were in their positions in the heart of the battle despite the great dangers, and they did not abandon their field responsibilities to take refuge in a shelter that would hide them, and this in itself is something promising.

Everyone hoped that Israel would not succeed in any assassination or achieve any achievement, but for every war a price is paid to an enemy who has an upper hand in the field of technology and its security and intelligence applications, and there is no doubt that the course of that battle will be the subject of study by security and military officials in Islamic Jihad to avoid granting Israel Any chance of achieving a security or military achievement against the leaders of the resistance in the future.

Despite this, Israel has failed in terms of security in striking the military capabilities of the "Quds Brigades", the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, and has failed to assassinate or strike dozens of groups in various regions of the Gaza Strip, although Israel's goal throughout previous wars was to destroy the missiles fired by those forces. The groups arrive in Tel Aviv.

Its success in monitoring and targeting these groups was close to zero, according to the statements announced by the Al-Quds Brigades and the resistance factions. .

With this, the Al-Quds Brigades succeeded in a great security success in protecting its military, missile and human capabilities that were assigned to prepare for the battle and carry out the launch missions, and they actually demonstrated this success when they carried out a missile strike on Tel Aviv a few minutes before the ceasefire took effect.

It is no secret that every war has a price, and the price of this war was the blood of the leaders of the al-Quds Brigades and their families in defense of the cause for which they lived.
