The news that the Israeli army airdropped supplies to Khan Younis combat units has attracted widespread attention. The airdrop took place around 10 and 11 December, when the Israeli Air Force dropped about 7 tons of water using C-130J transport aircraft. Many people wonder why Khan Younis is only a few kilometers away from the Gaza wall, so why did he have to use a transport plane to deliver the airdropThere are those who consider such a move unjustifiable, arguing that there are problems with the tactics of the Israeli army. They pointed out that during the armored attack, the Israeli army did not send infantry to control the supply lines, but only cared about tank charges, which led to the fragility of the supply lines. As a result, tank units stormed Khan Younis, but the supply lines were left unattended, giving the enemy an opportunity to ambush the convoy. As a result, the Israeli army had to resort to airdropping supplies by transport aircraft. On the other hand, some believe that this is the result of the current inadequacy of the Israeli army. The Israeli army saw only one front in the offensive, and the various infantry units in the rear were seriously insufficient. This is very similar to the situation last year when the Russian army first started the offensive, only the spearhead of the offensive could not form an echelon, resulting in an abnormally weak rear of the battle line and easy destruction of supply lines.
In addition, the mentality of the Israeli army is also one of the reasons for this. They were in a hurry to achieve results, so they resorted to a very risky tactic. This brainless pig tactic is not difficult to understand, especially with the recent indiscriminate arrest of civilians posing as Hamas by the Israeli army in northern Gaza. They urgently need to achieve something to make a difference to the Israeli people. However, this tactic is not advisable. The Israeli army should realize that tank attacks alone will not lead to lasting victory. They need to pay more attention to logistics and the security of supply lines. And, they should stay calm and not take risky actions out of anxiety. In any case, the airdrop has sparked widespread discussion and reflects the challenges faced by the Israeli army in combat. Hopefully, they will learn their lessons and improve their tactics to get better results. After all, in today's wars, victory depends not only on firepower and technology, but also on strategic vision and overall coordination. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has been intensifying, while the Israeli army's fighting in the Gaza Strip has been troubled. Faced with the challenge of Hamas's maneuvering tactics and urban warfare, the Israeli army appears helpless and unable to even truly control the area.
The Gaza Strip, as a highly urbanized area, is riddled with narrow laneways and buildings, which makes it extremely difficult for the Israeli army to fight. They can only control some roads and scattered areas, and the maneuvering space between back streets and alleys and ruins is completely uncontrollable. This allowed Hamas to move freely through the rubble and caused huge problems for the Israeli army. In addition, the size of the Israeli army is clearly insufficient, they invest a lot of resources in technical equipment, but the number of infantry is relatively small. This has led to a disparity in the strength of the Israeli army in urban warfare, making it difficult to effectively control the situation. In contrast, Hamas's maneuver tactics appear to be more flexible, using urban terrain and a network of tunnels to evade Israeli forces. In addition, the Israeli army recently launched a water offensive program in an attempt to weaken Hamas's combat capabilities by flooding its tunnels. However, this approach is more of a feeble bark than an effective strategy. Inundating tunnels is only a symptom rather than a root cause, and cannot solve the root problem. Faced with the plight of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army urgently needs to rethink its strategy. They need to adopt more flexible and diverse tactics to increase infantry numbers and strengthen urban warfare capabilities.
In addition, dialogue and reconciliation with Hamas are also important ways to resolve the conflict. Lasting peace and stability can be achieved only through political and diplomatic means and the search for consensus in resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Israel's confrontation with Hamas is not just a conflict, but also a challenge for a mindset shift. It is only through innovation and cooperation that true peace and prosperity can be brought to the region.
