The top-tier operation conducted by the Palestinian Resistance eastern Khan Younis forced the Israeli occupation's military command to take "new action," an expert in Palestinian Resistance affairs, Hani al-Dali told Al Mayadeen on Sunday. 

Al-Dali referred to "the multistage operation of the Resistance in al-Zanna" on Saturday afternoon, which forced the Israeli occupation forces to withdraw from Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip only a day after.

The expert said that the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip proved, via the ambush it conducted against Israeli occupation forces, "Israel's" failure to abolish its capabilities and infrastructure. 

In the ambush, al-Qassam Brigades fighters targeted three Israeli Merkava tanks with locally-produced tandem rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), dubbed al-Yassin, leading Israeli military rescue forces to deploy in the area. The force fell into a minefield prepared by al-Qassam forces which led to the instantaneous death of six soldiers, while others were injured as a result of the attack.

Later, al-Qassam Brigades' Military Media said that after the minefield was set off, the remaining occupation forces fortified themselves in a building, where they were targeted with an anti-personnel shell that killed at least three soldiers.

"What happened in the Gaza Strip and Khan Younis against the Israeli occupation will improve the Palestinian negotiator's situation in Cairo," al-Dali explained.

On Saturday, the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, announced that a leading delegation from the movement, led by Khalil al-Hayya, would head to the Egyptian capital, responding to an Egyptian invitation for mediated negotiations with "Israel".

In this context, al-Dali said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will engage "in evasion tactics," where the Israeli delegation will not agree to the main clauses demanded by the Palestinian Resistance and instead suggest unreasonable terms.

This, according to al-Dali, will be done to buy the occupation's government some time, as Netanyahu believes that agreeing to the clauses suggested by the Palestinian Resistance would mean an end to his political career.
