An official source at the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, offered an explanation as to why Israel has delayed its ground offensive.

The source was cited by Aljazeera Arabic channel and other Arab media as saying that the Israeli field commanders are refusing to enter the Gaza Strip, before finding practical solutions to the ‘anti-armor missiles’, which are being dropped from improvised Palestinian Resistance drones.

“The matter is now with the Israeli Army command,” he said, to find “an urgent solution to the matter.”
