US press: Hamas may be preparing a “surprise” for Israel, possessing much more advanced weapons

The Palestinian Hamas movement may have much more advanced weaponsthan currently used. The Washington Post writes about this.

The American publication interviewed a number of experts who expressed the opinion that Hamas is preparing a “deadly surprise” for the Israeli Defense Forces in the event of the start of the ground phase of Operation Iron Swords. According to reports, the group has been preparing for a confrontation with Israel for years, developing new types of weapons, including unmanned ones. According to some analysts, the Israeli army has yet to face all this.

Most likely, Hamas has hidden military potential, which we may have to see in the future

- said Fabian Hinz, a military analyst at the British International Institute for Strategic Studies.

In recent years, Hamas has acquired a number of technologies to create modern weapons. Preparing for war with Israel, the group understood the possibility of a ground operation and was ready to deliver a surprise blow to the advancing units of the Israeli army. We can talk about powerful anti-tank weapons, high-precision missiles and drones. It is possible that while the IDF enters the Gaza Strip, Hamas will attack the rear areas with new missiles.

(...) Hamas may try to lure Israeli troops into its territory and then launch a surprise attack on targets far from the front line using advanced systems

- the newspaper quotes the expert's opinion.

The Israeli Defense Forces command said it was aware of this possibility, but stressed that the country has the “necessary defense systems.”

Don’t they have “test tubes with powder”?
Did they buy a nuclear warhead on the darknet?

It has long been known that if the Yankees supplied Israel with various weapons all these years, the British did the same in relations with the Palestinians. Although both the Yankees and the Britons could supply both at the same time.

Whether American experts know about this is a rhetorical question. They are just very shy and tell readers bullshit that the Palestinians themselves allegedly produced something super-duper, as the unforgettable Donald said.

It would be nice to see this surprise in action, if of course there is one. An unpleasant “surprise” for Israel would be for Hezbollah to start fighting, dashing Israeli hopes that they would not get involved in the conflict.

After one merkava was burned with NLAW? I think this is a very clear application for the most unexpected circumstances.

Suddenly... Suddenly some experts say that Hamas can be armed to the teeth, although just a couple of weeks ago they thought that Hamas did not pose a threat at all. It looks like fortune-telling, like, theoretically, this may or may not be the case...

Fights in the city, especially in dungeons, are very difficult and let's look at the further development of events... They will definitely show who was better prepared for what

We've probably prepared a large number of drones and drone operators for them. In addition, Ukraine probably sold Hamas a certain number of Western MANPADS and ATGMs. Surely Iran has passed on mining experience taking into account the SVO. For example, from the simplest, they taught how to lay a double TMK, which demolishes any trawl or any mine clearance machine. I think there's a lot more.

Somehow everyone forgot about “Novichok”. Maybe he will solve all the problems.

It turns out that neither the American nor the Israeli intelligence services know absolutely anything about the combat potential of the enemy in the person of Hamas, even British scientists...

The coffee grounds from which the British expert was guessing were clearly from counterfeit coffee. But the fact that the Israeli military will receive noble men from the Arabs is clearly an indisputable fact...

[APASUS]

Just looked at the list of weapons supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, all this can be found from the Arabs

[macgyver]

Former US Congressman Ron Paul: "Hamas was created by the Israeli government to oppose Yasser Arafat."

Former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin: "Supporting and creating Hamas was a fatal mistake."

Former expert on interaction with the Arab population in the IDF, Colonel David Hakam: “Israel’s support for extremists like Yassin (founder of Hamas) is an original sin, but then no one thought about the consequences.”

Rabbi Avner Cohen, who was in charge of religious affairs in Gaza for 20 years: "Hamas, to my great regret, is a creation of Israel." ....

I wonder who armed Hamas after all?

[Gomunkul]

I wonder who armed Hamas after all?

It is much more interesting to know who paid Hamas for the attack on Israel?
If you look closely at Hamas's actions in the Gaza Strip, you get the impression that it doesn't care about the civilian population of Gaza.

[macgyver]

Probably the one who is most interested in starting wars on the planet. Or someone who wants an excuse to deprive the Palestinians of what remains of their territory.

Well, as for creating, this is said loudly. The fact that over the years they could have bought a lot of things from different sources, yes, but to create, excuse me, it’s hard to believe. From their own, their ceiling, these are homemade rockets from, as they say, “water pipes.”
