Israeli newspaper warning: Gaza will turn into Vietnam

, Israel Hum newspaper, in a note published today, believes that if Israel is really going through the second war of independence (as some of its officials declare), its current war method is not suitable for it at all and thus It is not possible to achieve either a partial or comprehensive victory.

Yehuda Belanga, the author of this note, emphasizes that since the beginning of the war in Gaza, every statistical day The number of fighters killed by the Israeli army and the tunnels discovered and destroyed are published to document the amount of casualties inflicted on Hamas.

Apparently From the information and statistics published by the Israeli army in the media, one can get the impression that even though the level of conflict has decreased, the Israeli army is moving towards achieving its goals, but it must be admitted that the statistics are not the right way to achieve decisive victory. /p>

The author adds, in the military language, the damages caused to armed people or infrastructures or the death toll are described as revenge actions, while the strategy that Hidden behind these announcements is the pursuit of bringing the enemy to the point of collapse, meaning that the enemy’s losses exceed its capacity to rebuild and repair, and this is exactly the strategy that Israel is apparently seeking to achieve.

After discussing the history of this strategy, the author concludes: However, this type of war method, the body count strategy, is not very effective with Hamas, just as this strategy is for America in the war against The Viet Cong were defeated and they were also forced to admit the failure of this strategy.

In the opinion of the author, firstly because Israel deliberately It has no desire to permanently dominate this region and at the same time it has no desire to transfer the sovereignty of this region to another governance structure as a successor to Hamas, which makes it withdraw from there after the end of the combat mission (search and destroy) It is possible for Hamas to fill the void created in the region again. There are no armed forces and supporters and members, and with the exception of a limited number of Hamas forces, most of these armed people are in civilian clothes, and this makes it very difficult to determine the point of collapse.
