A report released by The Telegraph analyzes its perspective on how the Palestinian Resistance fights against "Israel", using footage released by Hamas and comparing it to the IOF's footage to claim that Hamas is prolonging the war. 

Urban warfare expert John Spencer says Gaza has proven to be one of the most difficult urban conflicts in history, especially when compared to Stalingrad or Mosul.

According to Spencer, the attacks where Hamas snuck up on tanks and deployed explosives on them are "troublesome", compelling "Israel" to change its strategy.

According to former Israeli military intelligence head Tamir Hyman, this war is allegedly the hardest that "Israel" has had to face because it is very challenging to "penetrate" Hamas' infrastructure in urban areas such as Gaza.

Some standard urban defensive techniques were elevated to a "scale nobody has ever seen" by Hamas.

He continued by saying that Hamas has put in a lot of effort to "turn every inch into a problem for the best military in the world" and that they had "15 years to prepare for this moment."

Hamas rebuilt presence in Gaza

Back in June, a Palestinian affairs commentator for Israeli Channel 12, Ohad Hemo, said that Hamas has successfully rebuilt its presence in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that Israeli expectations regarding the invasion of Rafah and the ground operation there are misleading the public.

He detailed that Hamas has re-established its presence in many areas, striving to demonstrate its reconstruction efforts and regain a certain level of control, presence, and armament in central Gaza, Deir al-Balah, and the central refugee camps.

"In this sense, those who pinned their hopes on the battle in Rafah have misled the public, suggesting that it would change the entire picture," Hemo added.

The genocidal war on Gaza by "Israel", marking day 302, has already led to the martyrdom of 39,583, in addition to 91,398 injuries, according to the daily report released by the Gaza Ministry of Health.
