Military and strategic expert Colonel Hatem Karim Al-Falahi has provided insights into the current state of the Israeli military operations in Gaza, emphasizing the need for the Israeli army to halt its military actions despite the ongoing power of Hamas. He argues that the strategic situation for Israel is precarious, primarily due to external threats such as Iran and the pressure from the northern front, which includes potential conflicts with Hezbollah.
Al-Falahi notes that the Israeli military is preparing for a significant shift in focus towards the northern front, anticipating a land, air, and sea battle against Lebanon. He highlights that negotiations are underway between Hezbollah and the United States, aiming for a resolution that could ease tensions in the region. However, Israel is simultaneously preparing its military assets in anticipation of a scenario where no agreement is reached.
The expert elaborates on the ongoing military operations, detailing the Israeli strategy to exert pressure on Hamas to secure concessions that would allow for a temporary ceasefire. This would enable Israel to regroup and reorganize its military capabilities before potentially engaging in conflict in the north. Al-Falahi outlines two distinct plans for future operations, focusing on intelligence-driven mobile offensives and coordinated efforts to monitor and disrupt resistance movements.
