Since May 6, the Israeli army's 162nd Panzer Division has launched an offensive against Rafah; Because the international community, even the United States, opposes Israel's attack on Rafah, the current Israeli military maneuvers are temporarily limited to the southeast corner of Rafah.
The buildings in this area were relatively sparse, which was conducive to the movement of the Israeli armored forces, so the initial advance of the Israeli army was smooth.
However, when the Israeli army advanced to the relatively densely populated area, the Hamas Rafah Brigade finally moved and began to attack the Israeli army by relying on the building, and sent the first live video of the Rafah operation; Hit some tanks, armored vehicles, and killed and wounded part of Israeli infantry.
However, for the sake of "international perspective", the Israeli army has not approved the casualty data in the Rafah direction for the time being, but only admits that a tank of the 9th Tank Battalion of the 401st Armored Brigade was hit by Hamas rockets, and two people were seriously injured (of course, this can also prove that Hamas's rockets are not "tickling"); It depends on who among the lucky ones who are "barbecued" can be the first to get the approval of the death treatment.
While the Israeli army was temporarily carrying the list of casualties, another strange incident occurred on the battlefield, which directly caused the Israeli army's squad to lose its combat effectiveness.
This wave is not the "air Hamas", but the more outrageous "wasp Hamas".
According to Israeli domestic media reports, a tank pressed on a wasp nest while Israeli troops were operating near the border, causing a large number of wasps to swarm out and attack Israeli soldiers everywhere.
In the end, 12 Israeli soldiers were stung and the injuries were still serious, and 10 were taken to the Sheba medical center in Tel Aviv, and one of them was admitted to the intensive care unit.
Although the skill level of Sheba Medical Center is enough to ensure that these people do not die, it is obviously not pleasant to be "saturated and attacked" by the wasps.
And this outrageous example also shocked Israeli medical personnel, because "no large-scale incident like this has ever been handled."
According to the way Israel behaves, this wasp is, of course, also "Hamas".
In addition to watching the fun, there are other information points worth paying attention to in this incident.
Initially, Israeli media reported that the Israeli soldiers attacked by the wasps were troops under the 162nd Armored Division fighting in Rafah, but later more Israeli media reports revealed that the "protagonists" were actually the southern brigade of the Israeli Gaza Division (143rd Territorial Division), which carried out its mission in the "border zone" opposite the settlement of Nerim in southern Israel.
As can be seen from the map, there is indeed an area of Israeli army activity opposite the settlement of Nirim, but this is the Khan Younis theater of operations.
As we mentioned in a previous article, the Northern Brigade of the Gaza Division is also carrying out tasks in the Beit Hanoun direction in North Gaza Province, and it can be seen from this information that the Israeli army's so-called stay in the Gaza Strip with only two reserve brigades is pure foolishness.
In fact, the two Israeli brigades are only troops guarding the corridor area, and the entire Gaza division is carrying out its mission on the outer "blockade line" of Gaza with the support of special operations and engineering units.
In addition, if the Israeli army needs to carry out the task of "clearing and suppressing," it will also draw detachments from the active troops to "sweep through the city" and then "sweep through the city," and the 162nd Armored Division is now carrying out the task in southern Gaza.
And that's just the ground forces, the Israeli Navy's blockade of the waters west of Gaza and its artillery bombardment, as well as the activities of the Israeli Air Force, have made the military presence in Gaza still enormous.
In the face of Hamas, which is already in an "air state" in the war report of the base camp, the degree of "sincerity" of the Israeli army at the practical level can be seen from this.
