Watan-In conjunction with discussions about the ceasefire in Gaza, Palestinian writer and political analyst Ibrahim Al-Madhoun affirmed that tens of thousands of elite members in the Al-Qassam Brigades and the Al-Quds Brigades remain in their “combat readiness” within their offensive tunnels.
They have not yet received orders to execute their tasks, and the occupation fears them, resorting to tactical withdrawals and terrorist raids against civilians.
Al-Madhoun commented on the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the northern areas of Gaza on Thursday. He stated on his X platform account, “Do not raise your expectations because the battle continues, aggression persists, and do not reconcile with its brutality or be deceived by its media tactics.
The occupation is betting on our fatigue and frustration, seeking our surrender, which is impossible.”
He reassured, “The resistance is strong, continuing with the same efficiency and effectiveness, ready for long urban wars, capable of surprising the enemy at any moment, using capabilities stronger than those used before.
The occupation puts pressure on civilians out of revenge and helplessness, committing heinous massacres punishable by international law, avoiding confrontations with fighters to target children and women, starving them.”
لا ترفعوا سقف التوقعات فالمعركة مستمرة والعدوان مستمر ولا تطبعوا مع وحشيته، أو تنغروا بتكتيكاته ومراوغاته الإعلامية، يراهن الاحتلال على تعبنا وإحباطنا، ويريد منا الاستسلام، وهذا محال.
أطمئنكم؛ المقاومة قوية، تواصل بنفس الكفاءة والفاعلية، ومستعدة لحرب مدن طويلة، وقادرة على…

Al-Madhoun noted, “Tens of thousands of elite members of Al-Qassam and Al-Quds Brigades are stationed in their combat readiness and inside their offensive tunnels, awaiting orders to execute tasks.
The occupation fears them and conducts tactical withdrawals and terrorist raids against civilians.”
The analyst mentioned that the humanitarian situation is extremely difficult due to the regional powers’ negligence and abandonment of Gaza.
He emphasized that consultations and dialogues do not mean anything to the fighters in the field, and there is immense endurance and long-term plans.
He said, “In my opinion, Al-Qassam Brigades will surprise the occupation in the coming days with an operation that will astonish it, and afterward, Abu Ubaida will announce something that will ease your minds.”
The Israeli withdrawal included evacuating the areas of Atatrah, Salatin, and Tuwam, causing extensive destruction in these regions. Israeli forces also withdrew from the Mukusi area northwest of Gaza City after completely destroying the area.
Israeli forces had invaded the Mukusi area at the beginning of the ground operation in the sector, destroying civilian buildings, international institutions, and hospitals. The invasion witnessed clashes with the resistance.
