The just-concluded short-term ceasefire agreement between Israel and Palestinian Hamas militant groups does not appear to have quelled tensions. Moreover, Israel has renewed its extensive bombardment of the Gaza Strip and has spread the news that it is planning a full-scale offensive. Many observers believe that Israel's move is intended to bring the current conflict to an end through the most rapid action possible in order to gain maximum benefit from this crisis.
As the international community's pressure on Israel continues to increase, some countries have publicly announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Israel, and even shown obvious hostility towards Israel. This leaves Israel facing a growing diplomatic dilemma. Surprisingly, however, Hamas has shown great strength in recent battles, adding uncertainty to the situation.
According to multiple reports, the Qassam Brigades, a Hamas-affiliated militant group, claims that they have successfully driven 70 percent of Israeli soldiers out of the Gaza Strip. At the moment, the Israeli military has to focus its attention on southern Gaza, where the defenses are relatively weak. This situation is unexpected, and it deserves our in-depth observation.
It is well known that there is a huge gap between the equipment of the Hamas militant group and the Israeli army. According to the usual view, Hamas should have difficulty withstanding the frontal advance of the Israeli army. Previously, Hamas had usually resorted to "tunnel warfare" and raids against Israel, causing some damage to its army. Recently, however, Hamas has succeeded in forcing Israeli forces to withdraw from northern Gaza. It is possible that during the temporary ceasefire, Hamas received military assistance from certain countries to achieve such astonishing results.
To add to the headache for the Israeli authorities, Allah Lebanese carried out missile and rocket attacks on Israeli military installations immediately after seeing the defeat of the Israeli army. Allegedly, heavy exchanges of fire broke out again in the border area. In addition, the Yemeni Houthis have not abandoned strikes on Israeli sea freighters. Therefore, looking at the overall situation, it seems that Israel is under a "siege" on many fronts.
Faced with this unfavorable situation, Israel recently suddenly released a striking piece of news through the United States**. According to a report by the New York Times, rockets fired by the Hamas militant group had previously hit an Israeli military base. And this military base is most likely related to Israel's nuclear ** project.
Through this message, Israel deliberately sent a clear message to the Middle East: Israel has successfully mastered nuclear ** technology. Although Israel has previously refused to accept UN verification and has never publicly acknowledged its possession of nuclear weapons, the opposite is now happening, suggesting that Israel may be under unbearable pressure.
What is even more striking is that Israel not only has nuclear ** technology, but also has the ability to launch these **. Because a large amount of Israel's advanced ** is made in the United States, it has the strength to die along with the rest of the Middle East. The presence of such a power may deter armed groups that are supported by Middle Eastern countries from launching large-scale attacks on Israel.
Do not think that Israel released this news only to deter the countries of the Middle East. Given Israel's attitude towards Palestinian civilians, it can be seen that the Israeli authorities do not regard other ethnic groups as equal human beings. Even after the United Nations defined it as a "war crime," Israel continued to see the lives of the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip as a bargaining chip in the persecution of Hamas. Therefore, once Israel is in a situation of defeat, no one can doubt that Israel will choose to die together.
When the countries of the Middle East heard the news, their silence seemed to reveal shock and unease about Israel. Although there have always been brave men in the Middle East who dare to "look at death as if they were home", Israel's message of deterrence in this way has undoubtedly sent chills down the spine. Such a move by Israel may have an effect for the time being, but it may be its last hole card. It remains to be seen how long such deterrence will be able to win Israel up.
