Analysis of Military Strategy and Intelligence Failures

It is called "Winds of the South."

This battle broke out

as they were launching a maneuver called "Month of War."

Their plan was

to take the initiative and deal us

the first blow, eliminating the senior

political, military, and security leadership

and the command-and-control rooms and centers.

They failed utterly at it, and the whole world saw

it.

They failed to assess the situation, our intentions,

and our level of preparedness.

What an intelligence blunder this is

for an intelligence powerhouse. They built up an image of themselves

as an intelligence agency

that can read people's minds.

Abu al-Abd Haniyeh comes out and declares, "Enough playing with fire."

Abu Khaled Deif comes out to say, "This is the final warning."

And they cannot comprehend that it is a real final warning.

As if when Abu Khaled Deif comes out and makes a statement, he is just conducting

a marketing campaign for some merchandise.

A terrifying intelligence failure.

If their political leadership had any balls,

it would have cut off the heads of those responsible for the intelligence operation and assessment

of the intelligence situation.

But the leadership of this feeble army, which does not

It can carry out some of its plans.

They moved to the alternative plan, targeting command and control centers

and underground leadership,

seeking to eliminate Hamas's leadership

and the political, military, and security factions of the resistance.

They planned to strike around one hundred people

and eliminate them all at once, under the plan

called South Winds. They only got one person from the first rank, whom God chose,

Almighty, our brother Bassem Issa Abu Imad,

and from the second rank, around 500

leaders or more, they managed to get

five.

From one specialty alone, engineering and communications technology

and development.

As for the rest of the movement's political, military, and security leadership,

and the remaining leaders

of the factions, they remain and will continue the journey,

God willing, Lord of the Worlds.

They began the great deception campaign. The third objective was

to lure no fewer than

500 elite fighters from

Hamas and other resistance factions into

ambushes and forward positions. So the spokesman gathered

The military [spokesman], on behalf of the weak, failed army

the international and Israeli press

to tell them the ground campaign had begun.

So that we could make the decision, and the resistance leadership could make the decision

to deploy the forces in underground ambushes so they would be

ready to receive their tanks, as they assumed.

Our intelligence

was aware of the enemy's plan and saw it

in full from the very first moment. It was clear

to our brothers in the Al-Qassam Brigades' military intelligence that it was a deception,

that there was no ground invasion, and that the aim was to lure our forces,

so all our forces and elite forces were instructed

not to go down into the tunnels or the

forward ambush positions, and the forces already there were withdrawn

so that 160 F-16 aircraft, loaded with concussion missiles, could emerge

and begin

bombing the border area, thinking they would eliminate

no fewer than 500 elite fighters.

We were live on air, and many people were watching us. We didn't want to say anything too difficult.

We wanted to let Abu Ubaida, the spokesperson

A spokesman for the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades appears at a press conference and pulls a simple move on them.

A simple one. They knew about it and accounted for it.

They failed miserably. I tell you, I tell the world, and reassure

our nation that they did not get a single fighter

in the Martyr Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades or the resistance factions

in this major deception, which was like something shameful, or…
