Finds its confirmation of information about, that a full-scale Israeli army invasion of the Gaza Strip has already taken place. Information comes from various sources about, that not only IDF special forces are operating on the territory of the Palestinian enclave, but also other units of the Israeli army.
So, American publication Axios writes, that at the moment there are “at least two IDF divisions – tank and infantry” in the Gaza Strip. The stated number of Israeli troops in the Palestinian sector is 20 thousands of people. The publication refers to unnamed sources.
If consider, that the personnel of Hamas's military wing are estimated at 35-40 thousands of people, it turns out, that the Israeli troops brought in are approximately half the size of the enemy. In such a situation, there is a high probability of significant losses for the attacking side..
Arab sources of information write about, that during the battles in the underground tunnels of Gaza, Israeli special forces “suffer such losses, which Israel has not had in recent decades". The IDF command does not comment on these statements.. At the same time, one of the Israeli officials said, that to date the plan to eliminate Hamas is “one tenth complete”.
