Hamas Launches Operation "Moses' Stick" Against Israeli Actions In Gaza
The Al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas have launched a series of operations called “Moses’ Stick” in response to Israel’s “Gideon Chariots” operation, Al Jazeera reported. These operations aim to respond to recent military actions and to strengthen the defensive capabilities of the Palestinian resistance forces. While some media outlets have reported operation “Moses’ Staff” instead of “Moses’ Stick”.
Notably, Operation Gideon’s Chariots, also referred to as Gideon Chariot I, was initiated in May 2025. It focused on capturing strategic areas in the Gaza Strip, dismantling Hamas infrastructure, and securing hostages.

“Moses’ Stick” in response to Israel’s “Gideon’s Chariots 2,” drawing from the biblical Staff of Moses, which parted the Red Sea, symbolizing a strategic counteroffensive amid escalating tensions in Gaza.
