The one-week ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is coming to an end, and the Israeli army is ready to re-enter the fray for a turnaround. The ceasefire agreement initially began at 7 a.m. on 24 November, with the parties agreeing to suspend it for four daysAfter that, it was extended for 2 days, until 7 o'clock on the 30th;It was then extended by another day, theoretically until 7 a.m. on 1 December. However, the ceasefire on the last day was not strictly enforced, because before the ceasefire expired, the IDF claimed that the Hamas side had violated the temporary ceasefire agreement and moved into Israel**, so the Israeli army resumed strike operations. The outside world could have expected such an outcome a long time ago, but it was just a matter of a few hours early or a few hours late. If anyone is to be held accountable for violating the ceasefire, in fact during the second ceasefire extension, both sides will be able to ** each other, and either side will find a reason to resume fighting.
However, as far as the realities of Gaza are concerned, Israel actually wants to continue fighting more than Hamas. Because while Israel has so far bombarded Gaza in a massive manner that far outweighs its own attacks in terms of both destructiveness and lethality, the most critical issue remains unresolved: Israel has not eliminated the Hamas forces, and even a military defeat has not yet been achieved. In particular, the ** released by Israel rarely confirms the actual results, while the ** released by Hamas are all real results, which has caused great pressure on Israel in terms of the contagion effect. Israel's hegemony in the Middle East relies on the deterrent power of military power and military superiority, and now this "golden bell jar" has been pierced and is far from being restored. Even Hamas has about a hundred Israeli officers and soldiers in its hands, something that the Israeli army has not faced in half a century.
It is known that the Israeli army fought Allah in 2006, but the number of Israeli troops killed at that time was only 121, and now even Hamas cannot suppress it, Israel is worried about possible chain reactions in the future. Israel's military campaign against the Gaza Strip continues, raising questions about Israel's ability to continue fighting. Hamas, for its part, claims to have destroyed or damaged more than 300 units of Israeli army equipment in ground battles. However, this equipment is not limited to tanks, but also includes armored vehicles, bulldozers and service vehicles. Moreover, Hamas's claimed number of killings actually refers to the number of attacks, not the actual number of destructions. Therefore, while Israel has problems with tactics and will to fight, they still have enough resources to withstand these losses and continue to fight.
While the Israeli army may face thousands of people, they have enough reserves to sustain the battle. In addition, during the ceasefire, they will have time to repair equipment, replenish ammunition and components, and restore the physical strength and morale of the soldiers. Therefore, the Israeli army still has enough strength to continue fighting, both in terms of personnel and equipment. While their performance may be less than satisfactory, that doesn't mean they aren't capable of fighting. Now, the focus will turn to how the Israeli army captures the core of Gaza. The Israeli army, which has focused first on the northern part of Gaza in the ground battle, has largely taken control of the periphery and has penetrated parts of the core city after the early fighting. The Israeli army's next move is likely to be aimed primarily at occupying the core of Gaza City.
They are expected to employ the armoured task force's single-knife approach and then embark on a strategy of dividing and encircling and encroaching on each piece. While it is unlikely that Hamas forces will prevent Israeli forces from seizing the city's grounds, they can try to prolong the time for Israeli forces to capture the city and to strike as much as they can. Once the Israeli army occupies the ground of the Gaza city, they will face the challenge of how to eliminate the underground Hamas militants. This phase of the battle will be challenging, and even for the elite units of the Israeli army, it will be difficult to suffer. Moreover, since the Hamas forces still have a large presence in southern Gaza, will the Israeli army continue to attack the area?Based on the above, time will be the key factor, and as Gallant said, the follow-up battles could last for months.
However, with tens of thousands of civilians** already living in Gaza, and the international community unhappy with Israel's actions, will the international environment allow Israel to continue the large-scale conflict for months?In addition, the Israeli army will face many follow-up battles, and will the army itself be able to withstand the damage caused by a long war?These questions may not wait for months to be answered, but may be available within this month.
