Has Israel restricted the release of its prisoners?

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, the seven-day ceasefire in Gaza ended on Friday (December 10) and the new round of Israeli attacks on Gaza began, but with more intensity than land, air and sea; In this round of ceasefire, 240 Palestinians were released in exchange for 114 Israelis and foreign nationals; But there are still 136 Israeli prisoners in the hands of Hamas and an unknown number in the hands of other groups in Gaza. What will be their fate?

Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to a truce when 48 days had passed since the war, and during that time, the families of Israeli prisoners had gathered against him many times, and Netanyahu was under pressure. Both they and the international community wanted a humanitarian pause, but now the ceasefire has ended and it seems that there is little hope of its resumption, unless a permanent ceasefire is established, which is for now. It is not available.

On the other hand, Hamas officials have said twice that there will be no exchange of prisoners until the end of the attacks and a complete ceasefire. Therefore, in this situation, Israel and Netanyahu’s cabinet are forced to choose one of these two ways: either to release their captives and fight until they achieve their claimed goal of destroying Hamas, or to step forward for a cease-fire again.

But some Israeli analysts and journalists in They have written for a few days that probably Israel has decided to continue the war and not return the prisoners to Hamas. In this regard, Haaretz newspaper wrote on Sunday (December 2) that Israel’s return to war is considered “a big mistake” since October 7 and shows that Tel Aviv authorities have preferred the war to the release of prisoners.

According to Haaretz, the terrible bombing of Gaza, in addition to the heartbreaking scenes of the death of women and children, not only does not lead to the release of Israeli prisoners, but these bombings can also endanger their lives, as So far, several Israeli prisoners have been killed in aerial bombardments. A choice that is shameful. Israel should not have a more important goal than the release of the abductees, and there is nothing worse than violating the unwritten covenant between citizens and soldiers with their homeland, and we should not leave them alone.”

by Another heavy battle has started in Khan Yunis, located in the south of Gaza, and Israel has declared this province as a “war zone”. Paying attention to the Israeli prisoners, he continues the war and claimed that most of the leaders of Hamas and perhaps most of the abductees are in Khan Yunis and its surroundings. found, the testimony of the freedmen reinforces this concern, naturally, with the beginning of the ground battle, the risk will multiply and the intensity of the bombing may also increase the possibility of the troops being injured”.

Israel eats both the onion and the stick!

Heavy start of attacks on Gaza and bombing The aimless and crazy destruction of residential areas, schools, refugee camps and around hospitals shows that the Israeli war cabinet has come to the conclusion that 1: it is possible to destroy Hamas, 2: the cost of defeat and failure in the goal is much higher than the killing of prisoners. will be and the destruction of Hamas is worth the loss of at least 136 captives from Hamas. The defeat of Israel will be, this is the goal that Yoav Galant as the Minister of War, Netanyahu and Herzi Halevi, the Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Israeli Army, have announced many times and said that the military and administrative destruction of Hamas is the only goal of the war in Gaza, so if the Zionists If they try to replace another goal in the following months, it should be considered a sign of failure.

But to what extent is the “destruction of Hamas” possible? What is seen in the field scene indicates the lack of coherence and the lack of a clear strategy on the part of the Israeli army.

Yesterday, “Hisham Ibrahim”, the commander of the Israeli Armored Corps, on the pretext that the successful have achieved their military goals in the north of the Gaza Strip, announced that they will withdraw from this area. He did not mention exactly which goals have been achieved, Gaza City is still under the control of Hamas and the forces of Ezzedine al-Qassam still have the possibility of moving from north to south through tunnels.

Therefore, the Israeli army has abandoned Gaza City and concentrated on the city of Khan Yunis, what kind of army is it that cannot fight in two cities? Therefore, an urban war is completely different from a classic battle, and several variables, including the complex tunnel network of Hamas, the presence of a large number of civilians in the area of ​​fire, and the increasing pressure of the international community, will cause the Zionist army to face strategic and tactical poverty day by day to continue the battle. .

In this regard, “Manuel Macron” publicly expressed doubt that Israel can destroy Hamas and said: “If this goal It is Israel, the war time will go up to 10 years”.

On the other hand, the occupiers in Gaza have suffered heavy casualties, to the extent that Channel 12 of the Zionist regime today quoted “Barham Meir” A military analyst announced that 25 armored vehicles of the Zionist regime were destroyed in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours. This analyst of the Zionist regime added that 75 soldiers were also killed, which is unprecedented in the history of this regime. However, it must be said that Israel announces its death toll in a drop-by-drop manner in order to leave less psychological burden on the military forces and their families.
