Gaza Ambushes Expose “Israeli” Fragility Amid Surge of Qualitative Operations
By Mohammad Al-Ayoubi
In the heart of a devastated and besieged geography, the equation once seemed settled: a major military power imposing its technological and brutal tools on a small, war-exhausted enclave. Yet reality, as proven by the experience in Gaza, reshapes itself in defiance of the logic of brute force.
Away from the noise of official media and fabricated measures of victory, the facts reveal that the resistance was not crushed; rather, it reorganized itself—investing in the voids left by destruction and settling into the crushed corners of the land to sprout, from its rubble, a solid energy capable of action.
At this moment, when the enemy relies on remotely directed fire to reduce its human losses, the resistance is crafting a new equation: the battle is no longer fought along classical frontlines, but from within the ruins of homes, narrow tunnels and a geography that is both dying and fighting at once.
Resistance Strategies: From Ambushes to Operational Superiority
It is no coincidence that ambushes have become the main nerve of ongoing operations. The retreat of the invading force to so-called "buffer zones" and its growing reliance on aerial bombing have rendered ground confrontations limited and unsettled. Here, the rules of guerrilla warfare take hold: small, flexible groups strike and withdraw, draining the enemy both materially and psychologically, and opening dispersed fronts that it cannot close, no matter how powerful its firepower may be.
Sniping, Yassin rocket attacks, precisely planted IEDs, and meticulously planned ambushes in Shejaiya [Shuja'iyya], Tal al-Sultan, and Beit Hanoun are not random operations. Rather, they are part of an organized tactic aimed at disrupting the rhythm of a technologically superior army and forcing it to become exposed in a combat theater controlled by the resistance.
The resistance has gone beyond symbolic confrontation, developing qualitative operations rooted in extensive experience—exploiting terrain, reading the enemy, and striking at critical moments to inflict maximum losses.
The Psychological Defeat of the Enemy in the Face of Fighters’ Resilience
Beyond the cold numbers, recent clashes deliver powerful psychological messages: This enemy, equipped with every means of death, is no longer able to protect itself—even when moving within fortified reserve forces. Scenes of evacuation under fire, rescue operations delayed for hours, and offensive missions turning into failed defensive battles all reflect a field and moral collapse that no official statement or media campaign can conceal.
Every sniper confidently selecting their target, every RPG penetrating a tank, and every explosive device planted in the path of an attacking force is a practical vote on the failure of the entire military project—and on the fragility of the power equations that were once heavily marketed.
The Palestinian fighter, operating in an almost impossible environment, has become an operational nightmare for what was presumed to be the most advanced force in the region. This has prompted military commanders to implicitly acknowledge that the war of attrition is draining them faster than it is exhausting the supposed enemy.
The Ambush as a Practice of National Sovereignty
Ambushes should be seen as a practice of sovereignty. The resistance is telling the occupation, in practical terms: "This is our land. We set the rules of combat. You are strangers here, and you will pay the price." To set an ambush in the middle of a destroyed neighborhood against an advancing “Israeli” unit is a sovereign act par excellence. It redraws the power equation: Power does not belong to those who occupy land with tanks, but to those who possess the will to fight the aggressor to the last breath.
When a resistance fighter ambushes an “Israeli” convoy, he is not merely performing a military action—he is carrying out a historic act: affirming that rights cannot be erased by force, and that the will to freedom can transform the simplest tools into instruments capable of dismantling the most formidable fortresses of oppression.
The New Equation: Gaza’s Will vs. the Architecture of Extermination
In this ongoing conflict, the battle is not only over territorial control—it is about dismantling a colonial architecture designed to annihilate every living being and form of resistance in Gaza. Every demolished house becomes a shield. Every destroyed neighborhood turns into a potential ambush. Every buried tunnel becomes a pulsing resistant artery, alive despite rubble and bombardment. With every attempt to uproot it, the resistance grows more firmly attached to its land, more capable of dismantling the hostile military machinery.
The key point is that this strategy is not only succeeding on the battlefield—it is redrawing the contours of Arab and global consciousness. Gaza, despite siege and destruction, is reproducing itself as an undeniable truth. When popular will manifests through conscious resistance, it becomes more powerful than all the armies of the world.
As stated before: "When brute force fails to subjugate the weak, the true face of empire is exposed—and the countdown to its collapse begins." Today, Gaza is scripting that countdown with unwavering defiance. It is writing it in the blood of its martyrs, the resilience of its people, and the ambushes of its fighters—who have turned material weakness into a formidable force of resistance.
