According to a senior Arab source familiar with Palestinian resistance groups, there is an expectation that the Israeli Occupation, with the assistance of US Delta Force commandos, may use nerve gas and chemical weapons to flood Hamas tunnels in a surprise attack on Gaza.

The objective is to penetrate the tunnels, rescue around 220 hostages, and eliminate thousands of Al-Qassam Brigades members, as reported by the Middle East Eye (MEE) but did not independently verify.

The source emphasized that the success of the plan relies on maintaining the element of surprise, with internationally prohibited gases, especially nerve gas and chemical weapons, being employed.

The plan involves pumping significant quantities of nerve gas into the tunnels, which can immobilize individuals for a duration of six to twelve hours.

During this window, the tunnels would be breached, hostages liberated, and al-Qassam soldiers neutralized.

The leaked information suggests that the Israeli Occupation's delay in initiating a ground invasion is part of a misinformation campaign to secure the element of surprise for a multifaceted attack.

This would involve Israeli Occupation commandos landing in northern Gaza and along the coast.

The operational details of the attack have reportedly been finalized.

This comes as Operation Aqsa Typhoon, launched by Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, continues for the 20th consecutive day in response to Israeli Occupation violations in the occupied Palestinian territories, which have been ongoing for decades.

In retaliation, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) has launched a campaign against the Gaza Strip, conducting a series of airstrikes in various areas.
