Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) made immense, notable achievements that cannot be disregarded, Israeli media said on Monday.

"I believe that there was a major achievement made by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and it cannot be disregarded," Israeli occupation forces reserve Colonel Kobi Merom told Israeli Channel 13. "The PIJ was able to launch a thousand rockets in three days, targeting the central parts [of Israel], Al-Quds, and the Ben Gurion Airport."

"Over the span of three days, PIJ was able to disturb the lives of tens of thousands of Israelis, and this must be brought to the table when talking about the achievements made in this operation," he added.

"I believe this will not be how the next war unfolds, for we will be up against Hamas and Hezbollah. The war will not unfold on one battlefield; it will unfold on several fronts and be much bigger, with thousands of rockets launched on the Home Front, causing hundreds of casualties and a lot of material damages," the Israeli occupation forces Colonel stressed.

Hamas hundreds of times more capable, Hezbollah even more

Israeli media, underlining fear of another confrontation with the resistance, said Hamas, the Gaza-based resistance movement, was hundreds of times more capable than PIJ, while Hezbollah was thousands of times more capable against the Israeli occupation. "This is a worrying scenario in a multi-front confrontation."

Former deputy chief of the Gaza division, Nitzan Nuriel, told the Israeli 104.5 FM radio channel that Hamas has capabilities that are hundreds of times greater, and Hezbollah's capabilities are tens of times greater than that.

"Imagine what would happen in a multi-front confrontation. This is a wake-up call for anyone that believes that the security gaps in the Home Front will fix themselves," Nuriel added.

"The Iron Dome has limited capabilities [...] in a multi-front battle, the scenes of rockets falling down [on Israel] will be vastly different, and we must prepare for that."

Precision missiles are a weak point

"Next time will not be a walk in the park [...] it will be incredibly difficult with precision missiles heading toward Tel Aviv, whether from Hamas or Hezbollah, and this will definitely lead to numerous casualties," former Israeli occupation forces spokesperson Avi Benayahu told Israeli Channel 12.

"We must adapt to the expectations of the [upcoming] round. Next time, it will not be a walk in the park [...] What happened in Operation Breaking Dawn was a small foretaste, and it will not be like this in the next war," Benyahu added.

Al Mayadeen's source reported that there was a ceasefire agreement reached in the Gaza Strip on late Sunday. The sources noted that the agreement was reached with the Israeli occupation agreeing to the PIJ's demands in full.

The Israeli occupation began on August 5 with aggression on the Gaza Strip on Friday, and Al-Quds Brigades announced that Tayseer Al-Jaabari, a military commander in the northern Gaza Strip, had been martyred.

Consequently, Al-Quds Brigades launched an operation in response to the Israeli occupation's aggression on the Gaza Strip, by launching salvoes of rockets toward the occupied Palestinian territories.

Our correspondent reported that the death toll of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has reached 41 martyrs so far, with 311 others wounded.
