The side that shouted and shouted and killed fell into a wait-and-see period, but the arch fire and handed the knife couldn't sit still, and sent a core think tank to help in the battle, and now there is an extremely strange scene on the Palestinian-Israeli battlefield. Previously, the Israeli army, which launched a tentative ground offensive, was unfavorable and encountered an ambush by Hamas forces, which delayed the launch of a large-scale ground offensive. The US military, which strongly supports Israel to the end, has been shouted at in the Middle East, and its bases in the Middle East have been repeatedly attacked by anti-US forces. According to the latest reports, in order to supervise and assist the Israeli army in starting large-scale street fighting, the US military has invested a lot of money and has sent James Green, a street fighting expert and Marine Corps lieutenant general, to serve as a military adviser to the Israeli army, and large-scale street fighting in Gaza is about to break out.
According to the way the United States provided military support to its allies in the past, it was not a problem to pay money, guns, and materials, and the United States would not take American soldiers at risk until it was absolutely necessary, let alone senior generals at the rank of lieutenant general. This time, the United States is desperate because it has been beaten in a hurry recently. Since the U.S. Navy intercepted Houthi drones in Yemen at sea, U.S. forces in the Middle East have been the target of public criticism. Although the US aircraft carrier battle group in the Mediterranean Sea is very powerful, it cannot quench its thirst from far behind. The Houthis and Iraqi militias can make full use of the terrain to launch frequent attacks on US military bases in Iraq and Syria. Without any high-tech means or clever tactics, it is to attack through rockets and drones, which makes the US military in the entire Middle East noisy, and the US military in a passive defensive position has a very hard time.
Fundamentally speaking, the United States has come to the Middle East to help, and it does not want to expand the war, let alone directly break out into a full-scale war with Iran and other Middle Eastern powers. However, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken publicly criticized Iran at the U.N. Security Council, arguing that it is the proxies it supports that are attacking U.S. forces in the Middle East everywhere. Based on this, he said that the US military will carry out "legitimate defense". In the eyes of the international community, the United States' connivance and support for Israel is causing the situation in the Middle East to continue to deteriorate, and more armed forces are intervening in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the situation in the entire Middle East is no longer beyond the control of the United States.
Today, the key to solving the problem lies with Hamas in Gaza. According to the US plan, if Israel launches a ground offensive as soon as possible, although it will face greater pressure from public opinion, if it is resolved quickly, it can control this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict within a certain range, and then the United States will come forward to clean up the mess. Such a perfect plan could not be implemented because of the concerns of the Israeli army. After all, the Israelis are not stupid, they are well aware of the horror of street fighting, and they are not willing to bear huge losses. For this reason, the United States has also made a killer move, and the US military adviser to the Israeli army, US Marine Corps Lieutenant General James Green, who is a strong general of the US military, has been active in the Middle East for a long time. A few years ago, when the U.S. military was fighting the "Islamic State" forces in Iraq, James Green led his troops to participate in urban street battles and had rich combat experience.
However, with the advice of street fighting experts, is the Israeli army's street battle plan foolproof? Not really. At present, a large number of Hamas civilians in Gaza are still infiltrated and subjected to indiscriminate bombardment, and Gaza's ruins and dense network of tunnels will become a natural defense system for street fighting. Even Kenneth McKenzie, the former commander of the US Central Command, admitted frankly that if the Israeli army attacked with heavy troops, it would face a bloody battle. Because the Gaza Strip is already densely populated and densely packed with buildings, and after more than 20 years of blockade, Hamas has built a vast network of tunnels here, which is also a natural place to store ammunition and mobilize troops. The underground network called the "Gaza Metro" by the Israel Defense Forces is not only deeply hidden, but also has a large number of mines, homemade bombs and mines deployed around it, and the Israeli army, which is not familiar with the terrain, may encounter a surprise attack every time it pushes forward.
It is worth mentioning that Israel, which does not have the courage to immediately launch street fighting against Gaza, is very arrogant in the international arena. Recently, as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues to escalate, UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed concern about violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza and said a few words of sympathy for the Palestinians. Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations even made harsh remarks, demanding that Gutierrez reflect and apologize, otherwise Israel would "punish" the United Nations. It has to be said that Israel, which has gone paranoid and mad, has ignored any obstacle in order to completely eliminate Hamas. What awaits them will also be a tragic street battle with great cost.
