Israeli forces close in the city of Gaza when a full -scale company emerges

On Saturday Israeli tanks and troops began to maneuver closer to the outskirts of Gaza, preparing for a to A to a a full -scale offensive. Eyewitnesses reported about the strengthening of the shelling when Israel was moving to what could be a decisive battle for war against terrorists, Hamas: Gaza’s capture.

The Israeli Security Cabinet approved an operation known as Gideon B chariots and launched up to five IDF divisions on the outskirts of the city – a very significant mobilization. Thousands of reservists – some 60,000 – have been summoned.

John Spencer, Chairman of the City War Studies at the Madison Policy Forum and Executive Director of the City War Institute, said the digital scale of the Fox News operation. “This will be a bigger problem than anything IDF has encounteredPerhaps if -no. This is the closest place in Gaza, the heart of Hamas. And you don’t really know what the tunnels are until you get into them. “

Spencer said “Hamas built a semicircular defense focused on Israel. But IDF demonstrated creativity in maneuvering around obstacles.” Israel plans to send more combat power to the city of Gaza than it has been deployed throughout the lane so far. “If your goal is to clean up the military capabilities of Gaza Hamas and the search for hostages, you need that scale,” he said.

Hour Shamney, former Gazion Division Commander and Ex-IDF Central Command, told digital Fox News: “This is a crowded city with refugee camps, dense quarters, high and highly developed underground.”

Former high -ranking Israeli security official, speaking provided anonymity, said Fox News Digital: “IDF can conquer gas at the military level, but costs will be huge on both sides. IDF will fight the” destroy all that first ” – air forces, scale charging streets. slowly moving.

“IDF has gained a huge experience over the last two years and will use these tactics in this battle. You are strong, the enemy is weak and you have patience. Even the weather is on Israel’s side, and winter has not arrived until January.”

The tunnels remain the most formidable element of Hamas protection. Unlike ISIS terrorists in Mosul, Spencer said, Hamas built an underground tunnel that allows commander and fighters to move between positions to avoid strokes and Hide hostage. “IDF, which goes to the city of Gaza, is not an IDF 2023,” Spencer said, pointing to the quick adaptation in the use of drones, robots and specialized units for the tunnel war. “They have learned so much. But it will still be slow, very careful and expensive.”

To illustrate the scale, Spencer showed for 2004 Battle of Fallujah In Iraq. “It took about two weeks to clean the Faluga – each home -name, construction, shop. About 68,000 structures were cleaned as if someone was physically looking at them,” he said. “If all five of these (IDF) divisions did this, absolutely, you could do it in a few months. But the enemy always gets voting. You can’t hurry with failure.”

Former Israeli high -ranking security official called the operation “telescopic – very slow, and the pistons work one at a time. This pace also gives Hamas the opportunity to try to reduce the deal at each stage.”

At the fate of the hostages that may have taken place in Gaza, the official was stupid: “Some hostages will die. I would not be surprised if more brigades are brought – IDF uses huge land to capture urban areas.”

Shami also warned that Hamas could move the hostages, 50 hostages, of which 20 are considered alive, to the fighting zones to restrain the strokes – the tactic he said that IDF would be reluctant to participate in the battle to the detriment of the captives, the conflict between military necessity and basic values.

Shamni highlighted a particularly rich dilemma: evacuation of civilians. “You do not know who will leave, how much they will react – or even Hamas will allow them to leave,” he said. “I suppose many will not evacuate, and then you will face a fierce dilemma of the struggle in a place full of non -combatants.”

Spencer added that the story shows about 10% of civilians. “Even 10% of 100,000 people are,” he said.

Shamen predicts a protracted operation: “It may take months. Two months may capture the surface, but then you will still have to clear the tunnels. It will cost many lives-including civilians. The worst scenario is that there will be no dead and dead.”

Shami, who also held the post of military attaché in Israel in Washington, warned that the double goals to defeat Hamas and the return of hostages were contradictory, risking the years of struggle.

Spencer, however, called the decision to push the “settlement risk” forward, explaining that while hostilities are dangerous, “you weigh the risk of killing the confidence that they are starving and tortured. Military pressure is the last resort. Without conquering the gas city, Hamas will continue to keep the sanctuary.”
