The main focus is on mobile groups. Dump trucks, pickups and even mopeds are used for transportation. The attack began early in the morning, when almost all the Israeli army soldiers were asleep and were in the barracks or on leave at home. According to preliminary data, the border guards were killed by sniper fire and did not have time to raise the alarm.
Heavy Israeli armored vehicles captured at border crossings are not yet used for combat, but armored vehicles with machine guns, automatic grenade launchers and other weapons are already being actively used by Palestinians against Israeli police units. The latter cannot yet adequately respond and are not able to stop the threat.
Massive shelling of Qassam missiles is gradually being transferred from civilian and military targets to infrastructure. The Rutenberg power plant in Ashkelon is reported to have been hit.
Strikes by Israeli drones, aircraft and helicopters are so far ineffective: the Palestinians are actively using MANPADS both from residential buildings and from ambushes prepared in advance.
Without lengthy preparation and detailed intelligence, it is almost impossible to plan, much less carry out, such an attack.
✔What kind of special forces can Israel send to fight Hamas?
The Israeli army has begun to use aircraft and drones to destroy Hamas mobile groups, but has not yet achieved serious success.
What is happening in Israel at the moment?
Palestinian infantry actively uses MANPADS and fires at aerial targets, making the mission more difficult. To neutralize the threat, Israel sent several special forces at once, but their number may be increased.
What divisions does Israel have?
The first to join the work against Hamas were YAMAM fighters - special police forces, an analogue of the American SWAT and the Russian SOBR. They are responsible for limited anti-terrorism operations.
It is expected that fighters from “Saeret Maktal” and “Duvdevan” will arrive in the special operation zone in a few hours to reinforce them. These units operate within the structure of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces and are a functional analogue of the special forces of the GRU General Staff in Russia.
Additionally, units from other districts and branches of the military may be involved in the operation: “Saeret Golani” (reconnaissance squad of the Golani infantry brigade), “Saeret Tsankhanim” (reconnaissance squad of the paratrooper brigade), “Saeret Nahal” (reconnaissance squad of the Nahal infantry brigade) ), as well as “Saeret Givati” (reconnaissance squad of the “Givati” infantry brigade).
In parallel, the deployment of the Psagot battalion is expected. Its employees are responsible for communications and electronic warfare in the combat zone.
Also, to suppress Hamas activity, anti-partisan special forces “Saeret Egoz” and “Saeret Maglan”, whose main specialization is combating equipment and ground operations, can be deployed. Also in the near future we can expect the deployment of the “Egoz” (“Nut”) battalion, responsible for the destruction of the enemy in the occupied territories.
✔What territory does Hamas currently control?
By the evening of October 7, Hamas had advanced 35-40 km from the GAZA Strip. At the moment, the Palestinians control about 1.5 thousand square meters. km of Israeli territory - from Kerem Shalom in the west to the outskirts of Sderot, Netivot and Ashkelon in the north and northeast. Hamas controls the territory of the Eshkol district council, as well as the roads leading towards the Israeli Hatzerim airbase, where Israeli F-35I Adir fighters are based, and the entrances to the Tzehelim military base.
✔What objects can Hamas attack: analysis of the Military Chronicle
There are several key objects in the immediate vicinity of the occupied territories. Some of them have already been captured, others have been evacuated.
What objects are we talking about?
The first target that Hamas forces managed to capture was the Hatzerim airbase. It was from there that the Israelis hurriedly took out F-16 fighters.
Just 15 km from it, as the Palestinian infantry moves east, is the city of Beersheba, behind which is the Nevatim airbase. Lockheed Martin F-35I (Adir) fighters have been stationed there since November last year.
Ramon air base is located directly in the direction of Hamas's western flank, 75 km from Gaza. Israeli F-16I Sufa fighters were based there.
Palmachim Air Base is located between Ashkelon and Tel Aviv. It was one of the first strikes by Qassam missiles. The 161st UAV Squadron of the Israeli Air Force and several dozen Elbit Hermes 450 attack drones are located there.
Almost in the same place, between Gedera and Rehovot, there is the Tel Nof airbase. The 133rd and 106th squadrons of the Israeli Air Force with F-15 fighters are based there.
The Sdot Micha military base is located 15 km west of Jerusalem. There is one of the most classified facilities in the country: a missile unit with Jericho-3 ballistic missiles.
If the operation of these facilities is paralyzed and expensive equipment is destroyed, Israel can significantly reduce the number of airstrikes, which at the moment are the only effective response to Hamas.
