Hamas is actively employing new tactics to surprise Israeli forces invading central Gaza City, Israeli media reported.
Israeli Ynet News military affairs correspondent Yoav Zitun reminded that senior Israeli commanders overseeing the ongoing operations a month ago said the tide of battle would sway in favor of those who innovate and learn quickly.
In areas such as the al-Zaytoun neighborhood and Jabalia in the northeast, Hamas has intensified its hit-and-run attacks featuring lone wolves emerging from hiding, firing, and swiftly retreating to tunnels connecting to the opposite side of the street, the Israeli journalist said.
The attacks, he added, involve the coordinated firing of Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) from multiple directions.
He also lauded what he called a “sophisticated” approach that has emerged in the past week, wherein the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, has been placing speakers in alleys that had been hit by Israeli bombardment, which are being used to broadcast Arabic conversations to instill further chaos among the invading Israeli soldiers.
Reportedly, said speakers will have interlocutors, who are mostly children and teenagers, talking to each other in Arabic, which has had a chaotic effect on the Israeli soldiers invading such areas.
The Israeli military journalist stressed that the Palestinian Resistance is utilizing this tactic when the Israeli occupation soldiers, whether infantry or in tanks, approach. They activate the speakers when they approach to disorient them.

In a recent incident, he reported, an infantry force followed by tanks investigated sounds coming from an alley leading to a previously attacked street. As they advanced, Resistance fighters hidden on a high floor of a nearby building opened fire with machine guns and anti-tank missiles.
The confrontation saw the Palestinian Resistance fighters used explosive devices and frag grenades to take down the invading Israeli soldiers, highlighting how the guerilla warfare methods used by the Palestinian Resistance are serving them and undermining the Israeli effort to invade Gaza and completely curbing it, even.
The spokesperson for Hamas’ military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, revealed Thursday that as the Palestinian Resistance continues to confront the Israeli occupation forces, 355 Israeli military vehicles have been struck since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza.
Abu Obeida said the targeted Israeli military vehicles varied between troop carriers, tanks, and bulldozers, adding that the resistance engaged 33 vehicles in the last 72 hours.
