Al-Haddad forecasts 80-day Israeli conflict
The article explores the behind-the-scenes details of the October 7, 2023 attack on Gaza, focusing on planning, execution, and field events. It explains that Imad al-Din Hammad, the leader of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, anticipated that the war would last for 80 days and could end with an agreement to exchange prisoners and Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. He was responsible for managing the defense of northern Gaza and coordinating the surprise attacks that inflicted losses on Israeli forces. The article also reveals that the original plan faced collapses due to the fall of field commanders and shortcomings in expectations, leading the leadership to adopt sudden attacks aimed at capturing soldiers to weaken Israeli morale, despite Israel's ability to reach military sites and weapons caches. Additionally, internal disagreements within Hamas over ceasefire proposals are highlighted, with some leaders calling for a halt to the fighting on humanitarian and strategic grounds. However, Israel continued its escalation after feeling that its dignity and security had been wounded, leading to the conflict persisting for more than 107 days.
