The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is in a difficult situation, and Hamas refuses to cease fire.
Since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out again, the fighting has continued to escalate, and the losses of both sides have been increasing. However, in recent days, there has been an unexpected reversal in the battlefield situation. Israel, once the party that confidently claimed to eliminate Hamas, is now proposing a ceasefire. Hamas, once considered the weaker party, is now rejecting a ceasefire and demanding that Israel stop attacking Gaza City. This change shows that Israel's strength on the battlefield has declined, while Hamas has received more support and assistance. What is the reason for this situation?How long will Israel survive a combined attack by Hamas, Allah Lebanon and the Houthis?This article will analyze this.
First, let's take a look at Israel's performance on the battlefield. Since the beginning of the conflict, Israel has been carrying out large-scale air and ground attacks on Gaza City, attempting to destroy Hamas bases and depots, while also causing massive civilian and property damage. Israel has demonstrated its military prowess by using advanced fighter jets, such as the F-35 fighter jet, the Iron Dome air defense system, the Merkava tank, etc. However, these ** did not give Israel a decisive advantage, but instead put it in an even greater predicament.
On the one hand, Israel's ** has not completely suppressed Hamas's ability to fight back. Hamas is still capable of firing a large number of rockets, threatening Israeli cities and military targets. While Israel's Iron Dome system is capable of intercepting some rockets, there are also some rockets that are capable of breaking through defenses, causing ** and destruction. In addition, Hamas has used suicide drones, tunnel tactics, landmines, and objects, among others, to inflict severe blows on Israeli air and ground forces.
On the other hand, Israel's ** also imposes a huge economic burden on it. It is estimated that Israel spends as much as $100 million on the war, most of which is spent on purchase and maintenance. For example, each Iron Dome missile costs about $50,000, while each F-35 fighter jet costs about $100 million. The use of these ** not only depletes Israel's treasury, but also increases its dependence on the United States. Although the United States has been a staunch ally of Israel, constantly providing artillery shells and money, it cannot support Israel's war without limits. Both the U.S. public ** and international pressure could limit U.S. aid to Israel. And Israel, as a country with a small size, a small population, and few resources, will find it difficult to fight a protracted war.
To make matters worse, Israel's economic lifeline is already under serious threat. As a result of the war, Israel's economy has come to a standstill, and industry, agriculture, tourism, and other fields have been hit hard. And the most fatal blow came from the blockade of the Red Sea. The Red Sea is Israel's main passage and an important source of energy and supplies. However, since Hamas, Allah and the Houthis joined forces to impose an armed blockade of the Red Sea, Israel's imports and exports have been almost cut off, leaving it in extreme distress. These armed groups have used **anti-ship missiles**, mines**, speedboats**, drones**, etc., to carry out fierce attacks on ships in the Red Sea, so that many countries and companies do not dare to risk engaging in a confrontation with Israel**. It is reported that dozens of ships have been sunk or damaged, hundreds of crew members have died or are missing, and hundreds of millions of dollars of cargo have been destroyed or taken away. This is undoubtedly a catastrophe for Israel.
In summary, it can be seen that Israel's life on the battlefield has become more and more difficult, and its military and economic losses have reached unbearable levels. Faced with such a situation, Israel proposed a ceasefire, hoping to temporarily alleviate the crisis, while also buying itself some breathing time to adjust and rearrange. However, Hamas did not accept Israel's demand for a ceasefire, but instead put forward higher conditions, demanding that Israel stop attacking Gaza City, withdraw from the land it occupies, release all Palestinian prisoners, and recognize the legitimate rights of Palestine. These conditions are obviously unacceptable to Israel, because they mean that Israel has to abandon its long-standing political and military goals, while at the same time conceding its defeat in the war. Thus, negotiations between the two sides reached an impasse, and the war continued.
In the future battlefield, there may be more reversals and variables. Armed groups such as Hamas may exploit Israel's weakness and launch more counterattacks, putting Israel in a more difficult position. Israel, on the other hand, may seek more external support or resort to more drastic measures to try to turn the tide of the war. In any case, this war is a cruel test for both sides, and it is also a challenge to human peace and justice.
