Analysts: Any New War Will be in Resistance's Favor

Military expert Yusuf El-Sharkawy told Alersalah.ps that: "The next battle between Israeli occupation and the Palestinian resistance will be for the benefit of resistance whatever the losses are, because it will give Hamas a golden opportunity and it will give back the Palestinian cause its elegance" For his part, Political writer Adnan Abu Amer believes that Hamas andIsraeldoes not seek for a fierce war like the previous years. "Because there are internal files that makes Hamas andIsraelbusy from each other, and in my opinion the Palestinian front will remain calm unless there is an emergency" he said to Aleresalah.ps. A number of Israeli officials of the government of Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to wage what they called a “decisive war” on the Gaza Strip, targeting Hamas and armed Palestinian resistance groups inGaza. One of the main voices is that of Yuval Steinitz, Israel’s Intelligence Minister, who said that Palestinian armed groups have stepped-up the firing of shells from Gaza into nearby Israeli areas. He said that “should the shells continue,Israelwill have no other option but to end the situation, sooner or later”. Steinitz added that he does not believe it is possible to reach any understanding, or go through political channels with armed groups inGaza, and stated thatIsraelwill be “pushed into launching a harsh and decisive strike”.
