Israeli military sources: Hamas' silence regarding the assassination of Raed Saad is not positive and the stagnation weakens the army

Military sources confirm that Hamas is well aware of the Israeli occupation army's readiness to respond forcefully.

The Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" quoted high-level Israeli occupation military sources as saying that the "relative silence" adopted by Hamas regarding the assassination of the leader Raed Saad is by no means a positive indicator for "Israel".

The sources warned that this calm could be a calm behind which planning for a retaliatory operation lies, where the movement is expected to wait for a "security gap" to enable it to target areas near army positions or set up complex ambushes for its forces.

Warnings of the erosion of the army's capability and legitimacy

The military sources explained to the newspaper that Hamas is well aware of the Israeli occupation army's readiness to respond forcefully, which imposes a state of caution at the present time.

However, they noted that the "continuation of the current stagnation" negatively affects the army's field behavior, leading to weakening its performance and limiting the effectiveness of its presence inside enemy territories.

International pressures and documentation that embarrasses Tel Aviv

In another context, the sources revealed that the field developments in the neighborhoods of the Gaza Strip are reaching the American and Qatari capitals "Washington and Doha" supported by harsh documentation of the events.

They indicated that these scenes prompted the elected President Donald Trump to condemn them at times, warning that these incidents are working to "erode" what remains of the international legitimacy for Israeli military operations, especially with the approach to transitioning to the second phase of the agreement.
