Israel’s ‘Generals’ Plan’ doomed to failure: Hamas
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says the Israeli regime’s so-called “Generals’ Plan” for the northern part of the Gaza Strip, through which it seeks to starve the targeted area to advance its war goals, is “doomed to failure.”
The group made the remarks in a statement on Wednesday, saying the campaign has been underway for more than a week now, with the regime deploying hundreds of military vehicles and thousands of forces with immense firepower to implement it.
It said the plan sought to tighten the regime’s siege against the area, cut off humanitarian aid to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians inside, and label those who remain there as combatants so it could target and kill them after declaring the area a "closed military zone.”
So far, the campaign has killed more than 342 Palestinians, most of them women and children, the group noted.
“All of this confirms that we are facing one of the most degenerate, brutal, and Nazi military plans known in modern history, devised by fascist generals devoid of any human morals or military honor, in a blatant violation and disregard for all international laws, treaties, and humanitarian norms.”
Hamas, however, asserted that the plan “will shatter against the rock of the firmness, will, and steadfastness of our patient people, and the valor and courage of our heroic resistance.”
The failure would mirror the collapse of the other plans that the regime had intended for Gaza, through its genocidal war against the coastal territory.
The regime launched the war last October following Operation al-Aqsa Storm, during which Gaza’s resistance groups stormed the occupied Palestinian territories, encircled various settlements and military bases, and took 240 Zionists captive.
More than one year into its launch, however, the war has stopped short of materializing the regime’s avowed goals of destroying the resistance groups and returning those captives, who remain in Gaza, despite killing more than 42,300 Palestinians.
Hamas, meanwhile, held the United States “fully responsible” for the regime’s atrocities, rebuffing Washington’s pretentious calls on Tel Aviv to end the aggression.
“Without practical pressure on [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and his fascist government, [these calls] have [rather] become one of the tools of this brutal war against our Palestinian people, confirming the clear involvement of the American administration in these massacres.”
