The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has been going on for more than two months, but Israel has not achieved the results it had hoped forIn this asymmetric war, Israel's military superiority did not lead to the expected victory, but was overwhelmed by Hamas's resistance. Israel's indiscriminate bombardment, which destroyed a large number of buildings in Gaza, failed to break the main Hamas force and put Israel in a difficult position. Although Israel no longer cares about civilian casualties in the fighting, it is still unable to destroy the main Hamas force.
Even if Israel carpet-bombed Gaza, it would not completely crush Hamas. In this asymmetric warfare, Israel, although it has always been in a strong position, has never been able to eliminate the security threats it faces and achieve its fighting objectives. In the ongoing war of attrition, Israel is also beginning to get bogged down. Israeli air defense systems failed to intercept them, and Tel Aviv was hit by rocket attacks.
Tel Aviv is Israel's commercial capital and its location is very important. Israel has deployed a large number of anti-aircraft missile systems in Tel Aviv, weaving a tight network of air defense. However, in the face of Hamas's rocket attacks, Israel's air defense network still has many loopholes, and it is difficult to achieve effective interception. In this context, Israel's economic costs have risen sharply and the pressure is increasing.
Under all kinds of pressure, Israel could not find a way out of the predicament and began to signal a ceasefire on its own initiative. Israel's ** Isaac Herzog said on the 19th that in order to release the remaining detainees, Israel is ready to agree to implement a humanitarian "moratorium" in the Gaza Strip again. This is undoubtedly the friendliest signal sent by Israel. However, it should be noted that this is only for the rescue of the hostages, not for an outright ceasefire.
Whether Israel will be able to break the deadlock has aroused widespread concern and heated discussions in the international community. How Israel will respond to the current situation will need to be watched closely.
