(By Guido Olimpio) Israeli soldiers involved in Gaza tell her: The enemy is there but it is difficult to see it because it is using its territory as best as possible. The Mujahideen, dressed in civilian clothes, take up positions in a destroyed house, protected by a gate, behind a dilapidated wall and “fire” modified anti-tank RPGs with a double charge. Then they retreat, passing through open gaps in the walls or taking advantage of those created by cannon fire. In some cases, they dive into tunnels.

Some videos released by Hamas record the final moments, as fighters manage to engage armored vehicles up close, apparently undetected by soldiers locked in cockpits with limited visibility. Many experts have emphasized the tactical error committed by the Israeli side, as sending “isolated” tanks between houses without being accompanied by infantry forces is in the interest of the militiamen. An absence determined by the desire not to detect infantrymen and overconfidence in vehicles equipped with anti-missile trophy equipment, cameras and other countermeasures. But nothing, they repeat, can completely replace the reflection and eye of a soldier. It was clearly visible at dawn on October 7, when the digital wall along the Strip was overcome because it was “blind” and guarded by modest forces.
