Why Have the Zionists Renewed Their Assault on Al-Shifa?

In mid-November, in the midst of its clumsy and failed invasion of the northern Strip, the IOF sought out an easy, unarmed and humanitarian target, claiming “victory over a hospital” following its siege and assault on Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

In the days that followed, the zionist propaganda machine published a series of videos, all proven to be staged, falsely claiming that the resistance had been operating out of the hospital. The “tunnels” shown turned out to be maintenance access points and wells. The weapons “found” were proven to be planted by zionist operatives following the assault. The act of barbarism they had perpetrated drew global ire and held no strategic significance.

Just hours ago, Al-Qassam Brigades revealed the details of a complex intelligence operation: The resistance identified the IOF officer responsible for the siege and assault on Al-Shifa Medical Complex, tracked his movement in the Gaza Strip, and liquidated him by way of a locally-made Ghoul sniper rifle. Not only was the assault against the hospital an abject failure in dismantling the resistance, but it demonstrated the resilience of the Palestinian resistance, its complexity, and its ability to extract a human toll from those who perpetrate war crimes.

Now, the IOF recycles the same tired tactics of fabricated “intelligence” and justifications which the world at large no longer buys. As it advances once again on Al-Shifa, it will again emerge empty-handed, and with fewer soldiers than it had prior to the operation. While the occupation makes the same mistakes expecting a new outcome, the resistance continues to innovate and achieve its mission of making Gaza a graveyard for invaders.
