The military and strategic expert, Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi, said that a joint operations room made up of five Western countries supports Tel Aviv in its war against the Gaza Strip, and pointed out that its mission is to close “the loophole of the Israeli intelligence failure.”
Al-Duwairi explained during his military analysis for Manhattan Tribune that the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Italy sent representatives from their intelligence services to Israel, where they are located in two places: the first, the General Command in Tel Aviv, and the second at the spy base in the Gaza envelope area.
The military expert stressed that there was no official announcement about the existence of a joint Western operations room, but he pointed out that the matter had been circulated on dozens of news sites and highly credible journalistic sources.
He pointed out that there is no integrated and mature intelligence system, and when several different intelligence groups and agencies work, “the strengths are unified and combined to close the weak points.”
From this standpoint, the British government confirmed its intention to conduct reconnaissance flights over the Gaza Strip, whose mission is to “search and determine the locations of the hostages (prisoners).”
These sorties are carried out by Shadow R1 aircraft, which are equipped with a set of defensive tools and have sensors that help collect intelligence information. Satellite communications links allow information to be downloaded and removed from the aircraft during the mission.
Al-Duwairi stated that these drones have a great ability to conduct photoelectric imaging, and a superior ability to eavesdrop and jam, as they move along a 40-kilometre-long beach.
“passive defense”
But the Al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) – adopts what he called “passive defense,” which is based on not using anything related to technology, according to Al-Duwairi.
He ridiculed the stated mission of the British marches to search for “hostages,” which he said was an excuse promoted by Washington and London in order to engage in the current war against Gaza.
As for the American “MQ9” mission, Al-Duwairi said that it has a reconnaissance and combat role, and has a long history of tracking and hunting, as happened with the prominent leader of Al-Qaeda, Anwar Al-Awlaki in Yemen, and the commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qassem Soleimani, in Iraq.
The military expert confirmed that “Gaza tunnels” are the password behind this large volume of Israeli and Western reconnaissance aircraft flying, noting that some of the equipment and radars that arrived in Tel Aviv are tasked with sending signals and sound waves to penetrate the ground to detect tunnels.
He added that British experiments were provided to Israel and were conducted in Wales on the operations of dealing with and detecting tunnels.
