Hezbollah and Hamas, time after time, are successfully targeting Israeli occupation forces' weak points and hitting the occupation's "soft flank", Amir Bohbot, the military correspondent for the Israeli Walla! news website, explained. 

The analyst made the remark following a series of successful operations, launched from South Lebanon and the Gaza Strip by Hezbollah and al-Qassam Brigades respectively, dealing heavy human casualties to the Israeli military.

Specifically, Bohbot referenced al-Qassam's short-range rocket attack that killed 4 Israeli soldiers in an Israeli site near Karem Abu Salem, injuring multiple others, and a Hezbollah drone attack that killed two Israeli military officers Metulla. 

Hezbollah forces Israeli soldiers to a game of Russian roulette

"For the second time, [Hezbollah] succeeds in challenging the [Israeli] air defense and sends drones (to Israeli sites) and uses long-range anti-tank guided missiles to hit military targets deep in Israel," the correspondent explained. 

"In recent days, Hezbollah utilized a blend of radar systems, monitoring systems, and surveillance drones to collect information, monitor [targets], and attack," he added. 

Bohbot said that Israeli reservists serving in northern occupied territories have revealed that Hezbollah is keeping tabs on them throughout their deployment there, adding that their non-operational activities put them in Hezbollah's crosshairs. 

He pointed to the fact that most of Hezbollah's attacks have targeted Israeli military infrastructure and intelligence collection equipment, however, the Resistance does have a long list of Israeli military personnel targets. 

In this context, Bohbot brought up Hezbollah's attack on an Israeli military command site in Arab al-Aramsha, in which nearly a dozen soldiers and officers were wounded or killed, saying the incident "has made us feel like we are playing a game of Russian roulette."

The military correspondent said that this game of Russian roulette led to the death of two majors in the 6651st Patrol Battalion.

Al-Qassam deals occupation soldiers an inevitable slap in the face

As for the operation launched by al-Qassam fighters on a newly set up Israeli site in the Karem Abu Salem crossing, Bohbot said that the attack was preceded by a clear warning by Israeli intelligence agencies. 

According to the correspondent, Israeli intelligence warned the occupation's forces of an imminent attack on troops from Rafah in the southernmost part of the Gaza Strip, due to the heavy concentration of forces outside the city. 

However, the troops remained positioned in the area and were dealt an inevitable strike, in a multi-faceted strike. 

Initially, Palestinian Resistance fighters targeted the location with heavy mortar shelling, injuring a number of troops. As a result, more soldiers were deployed to the area of the attack, leading to a second composite barrage of short-range rockets and mortar shells that killed four soldiers, positioned outside Rafah. 

"The headline was [written] on the wall. It was clear that they would fire rockets and mortar shells," Bohbot explained, adding that the Israeli command should learn from such recurring events.
