The heroic operation implemented by Fadi Abu Shkheidam, one of Hamas' fighters, last Sunday created a state of shock in the Zionist security system. He exceeded the Israeli security measures, entered the old city of Al-Quds with his gun, and shot fire towards several settlers and Israeli occupation's soldiers. As a result, one was killed and others were injured.

As that was a big hit to the Israeli occupation, its response was conflicted. It arrested and repressed the family of Abu Shkheidam before releasing them in the late hours of night. It also kicked them out of their houses in preparation to carrying out acts of revenge, represented in demolishing their houses and displacing them from Al-Quds. Moreover, it blamed the leaders of the Palestinian resistance and Hamas inside and outside the Palestinian lands, especially those in Turkey, which Abu Shkhaidem has visited several times lately.

In light of this operation, there were several protests held in solidarity with the martyr's family, and to celebrate this heroic attack. As the Israeli occupation was provoked, it suppressed those protests and clashed with the protestors conservatively, so the situation does not go worse and worse.

Analysis and Insight of the Scene:

  • The heroic operation of Abu Shkheidam is a result of the Israeli occupation's arbitrary practices against Al-Quds' neighborhoods and citizens.
  • The Israeli occupation realizes that this kind of operations inspires and pleases the Palestinian society, which is suffocated by its violent measures.
  • The Israeli occupation races to dismantle any resistance cells and individuals intending to carry out any military operations. Thus, this might cost the Israeli occupation a lot of human losses and harm its security systems, according to the "lawn mowing" Strategy.
  • The Israeli occupation exploits such operations to incite violence against the leaders of the Palestinian resistance, especially those who are in Qatar and Turkey.
  • Such heroic operations stem out from the deactivation of any efforts to solve the Palestinian issue, the devaluation of the Palestinian political position, and the increasing arbitrary Zionist attacks against the Palestinian people.
  • The Israeli occupation is well aware of the special importance of Al-Quds to all Palestinians. Thus, it always seeks to confirm its security control over it to intensify the Zionist existence and to absorb any tension that might lead to the explosion of the situations, especially after Operation Al-Quds Sword, where the Palestinian resistance emphasized the significance of the holy city. 

Situation Report:

Based on the abovementioned, the expected scenarios are as follows:

  1. The Palestinian resistance's efforts would continue irregularly so the Israeli occupation cannot control them, and this operation will remain inspiring to the families of Al-Quds and the West Bank. This scenario is supported by the state of tension the Palestinians live in, the continuous suffocating measures practiced against them, their motivation to uprise and revenge, and their belonging and attachment to their rights.
  2. The Israeli occupation would be able to eliminate the armed resistance in Al-Quds and the West Bank. What supports this scenario is the ongoing Israeli efforts to confront the Palestinian struggle, yet it seems hard amid the Palestinians' national feelings and their animosity against the Israeli occupation.

In General, it is probable that the state of confrontation between the Palestinians and the Israeli occupation would continue, the individual efforts of the Palestinian resistance would never end, and the Israeli occupation could not control such actions as they are individual and irregular. Also, it is expected that the Israeli occupation's attacks against all Palestinian anti-Israel efforts would last as well.
