The damage began when the Zionists sent in a Special Forces team which botched
its planned operations in Khan Yunis, in the south of Gaza. A brief conflict
ensued with Palestinian resistance fighters and this led to hundreds of
home-made missiles being launched into Israel. The so-called "Iron Dome” proved
to be porous.
Zvi Fogel, a former head of the IDF Southern Command told Maariv: "The security
situation in which Israel is insulting, and not seen since the October 1973 war.
It seems that politicians do not pay attention to the future of Israel and are
engaged in political games. And even Benjamin Netanyahu gives us the story of an
unacceptable illusion.”
"After the recent clash with Hamas, we removed David's star and the blue color
from the Israeli flag, leaving only white in the sign of surrender. We have
completely lost the deterrent power and Hamas has succeeded in achieving
deterrence against Israel. We are in a state of ineffective security that we
have not witnessed since 1973,” he added, and also said that Israel had become
relatively powerless and without an operational agenda. He suggested that Israel
should target Hamas leaders, houses, cars, and their families, and put them in
deep fear and force them to live underground.
Referring to this latest Middle East development, he said that the Middle East
sees new and stronger enemies like Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in southern
Israel. Israel fought against three Arab countries in the war of June 1967 and
defeated all, but today, he said, Israel cannot apparently end the battle with
Hamas.
Zionist TV network 2 also reported that the regime suffered a painful lesson
from the failure of the Special Forces at Khan Yunis.
Yoav Limor, a military expert and security analyst for the Israeli newspaper
Al-Youm, said: "We spent developments began with a cease-fire in Gaza, and then
the strategic mistake of sophisticated security operations continued to make
matters worse. And then the exchange of allegations led to a dangerous military
tension that ultimately led to the resignation of the Israeli Defense minister
Avigor Leiberman, and possibly the announcement of a new Israeli election.”
He added: "The winner was Hamas in last week's developments. Hamas inflicted
more damage than it received with its heavy rocket attacks around Gaza.”
The failed Israeli operation allowed Hamas to launch nearly 500 missile attacks
on Israel. It even knocked out an Israeli bus with a missile. The Resistance
succeeded in turning the blockade into a crisis for the Israelis.
Analysis by the Zionists, especially the regime's troops, showed dismay at the
apparent relative helplessness of the Tel Aviv authorities. Now, given the
failed operation, there are political consequences for Netanyahu ahead similar
to those which befell Ehud Olmert failures in Lebanon years ago, and Hamas is
not nearly as powerful as Hezbollah.
