JERUSALEM (VINnews) — As Hamas marks the anniversary of Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005, which will be marked Tuesday by a military exercise featuring the Palestinian terrorist organizations in the Gaza strip, the website of the Hamas newspaper Al-Risala noted the importance of Israel’s disengagement as a key point in Hamas’s development of terrorist tactics in the region.

The Hamas newspaper noted that “The withdrawal of the occupation from the Gaza Strip in 2005 is a turning point in the history of the resistance [ the armed conflict] in the Gaza Strip, which before that was in the stage of initial development from stone to weapons and rockets.”
According to the newspaper, there is a consensus among the experts that “the withdrawal of the occupation from Gaza significantly helped to strengthen the resistance until it reached the point of adopting diverse conflict strategies.”
In an interview with the newspaper, political commentator Amer Saad, said that “the occupation believed that its escape from the Gaza Strip would bring it security, while the Gaza Strip districts became the starting point for the great liberation (of Palestine).”
Saad further noted that the Palestinian terrorist organizations have developed a deterrent force against Israel, and they established it in the round of confrontation in May 2021 (Guardian of the Walls). Today, he explained, the strategy of the resistance is based on the concept of unity of the different regions, which also includes the Judea and Samaria areas.
Journalist and political commentator affiliated with Hamas, Mustafa al-Sawaf, said in this context: “The withdrawal of the occupation from the settlements in the Gaza Strip was carried out under the blows of the resistance and not because of a deal or a negotiation plan.”
According to him, Israel had no choice but to “run away” from Gaza because of the intensity of the suicide attacks, the shooting attacks, and the launching of the rockets that took a heavy toll on it.
Al-Sawaf also said, “The withdrawal of the occupation from the Gaza Strip and getting rid of the security forces (security of the Palestinian Authority) that persecuted the fighters was the golden opportunity that led to a significant development of the resistance (the armed struggle),” which “improved in quantity and quality,” and today “constitutes a qualitative threat to the occupation.”
For once, they aren’t wrong. The explosion of Gaza was one of the worst moves in history
The Zionists cannot beat a primitive group of radicals similar to the US might army being unable to beat Taliban, simply because of liberals opposing bombing human shields
