Israel is a tiny dagger-shaped sliver of land which lacks strategic depth. And it can ill-afford a second Holocaust within its own borders. A repeat of Yom Kippur today, will spell doom; and it very nearly happened on 7th October. Hezbollah would have joined in but for the intervention by the two battle groups of the US Navy. All said and done, Israel is fighting against seven state and non-state actors: Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Houthis, Iran, Lebanon, Syria. This fact has been conveniently ignored by veteran analysts like the author. Israel cannot afford a surprise attack like October 7 and hence in exercise of the doctrine of self-preservation is carrying out operations all across Gaza to neutralize the cancer called Hamas.
Hamas & Palestinians should have thought about the repercussions before starting a mass murder of innocent Jews. There is no point in lamenting that the world doesn’t care about their plight after conducting a horrific slaughter of civilians. You reap what you sow.
