Observer | Israel's dilemma and dilemma

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced at a press conference that Israel's "second phase of the war" against the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) had begun, and that the number of Israeli ground troops entering the Gaza Strip was increasing. Israel has a clear objective of destroying Hamas's military and governance capabilities and rescuing detainees. However, Israel is caught between a rock and a hard place. In the event of a large-scale ground war, the Israeli Army's battle losses will rise sharply, and the deterrent effect will be weakened. Without a large-scale ground war, it will be difficult for the government to account for it at home, as many reserve and standing armies have been mobilized and the national economy has been significantly affected. Indeed, since the Hamas raid on 7 October, the IDF has suffered losses, including the destruction and capture of Merkava-4 main battle tanks, the breaching of military bases and the death of brigade commanders. Why such predicaments and setbacks? In my opinion, first of all, the Israeli military top brass misjudged the situation and underestimated the enemy. Israel's victories in the first five Middle East wars have made them overestimate their own strength and underestimate the will and ability of armed forces such as Hamas to resist.

Israel's "second phase of war" has begun, but what kind of challenges will they face? How to solve this dilemma? Has Israel's military action been able to achieve the desired results? These are our concerns. Judging by the mistakes of the Israeli military leadership, they should assess the situation more cautiously and prudently and not be carried away by past victories. In addition, Israel needs more international support and diplomatic efforts to gain greater strategic space. In terms of military operations, they need to strike Hamas's military and governance capabilities more precisely to avoid unnecessary harm to innocent civilians. In addition, Israel also needs to consider a political solution to the conflict with the Palestinians in order to reduce tensions. On the economic front, Israel should take steps as soon as possible to ease the economic pressure at home and ensure that the lives of its citizens are not greatly affected. In conclusion, Israel has encountered difficulties and setbacks in its military operation against Hamas, but they still have a chance to turn the tide. They need to respond to the situation more cautiously and strategically, while seeking international support and diplomatic efforts. Avoid harm to innocent civilians by pinpointing Hamas, and resolve the conflict with Palestine through political means to reduce tensions.

Israel should also take steps to ease economic pressures at home and ensure the stability of its citizens' lives. Finally, we should think about the deeper question of how to achieve long-term peace and stability and avoid relapsing into similar conflicts. How do you think Israel should respond to the current situation? Please leave your comments. Has the fact that the Israeli army not experienced high-intensity warfare for a long time since the signing of the Camp David Accords had an impact on the army's military doctrine, training and weaponry? The Lebanese-Israeli conflict in 2006 and the recent Hamas attacks raise questions. The Israeli army, which once had a clear advantage, has already had a number of problems, and they have not been rectified in a timely manner. In the recent attacks, many Israeli military bases had a weak sense of combat readiness and failed to respond in a timely manner, all of which were the consequences of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy. In addition, there have been serious mistakes in the Israeli army's intelligence work, because both inside and outside Israel have not been aware of Hamas's plan of action in time because the likelihood of an attack on Israel, which is backed by the United States, is too small. Is it time to revisit the training and intelligence of the Israeli army? Is there a risk of losing vigilance in a peacetime mindset? In the face of these problems, we need to think seriously.

Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip have been a topic of intense concern, but in these operations, the technical and tactical capabilities of the Israeli army have not been well demonstrated. This time, the Israeli army suffered another defeat because of their lack of awareness of new technologies and tactics. Hamas, on the other hand, showed great tactical literacy and inflicted heavy losses on the Israeli army. According to sources, although Israel believes that it can stabilize Hamas by providing economic incentives, in reality Hamas fighters have been training, often in blatant circumstances. This suggests that Israel needs to re-examine its strategy in order to tailor its tactics to the realities of Hamas. The history of human military struggles is, in essence, a history of technological progress driving tactical and strategic changes. With the rapid development of microelectronics technology, new material technology, battlefield monitoring technology and artificial intelligence technology, UAVs, which were not inconspicuous in the past, have begun to shine on the battlefield. However, the Israeli army has been slow to react to this, and after the Hamas raid, Israel's proud Merkava-4 main battle tank was destroyed by drones, and the core of the army's combat system was severely damaged.

In addition, Hamas's superb tactical literacy is also an important external factor for the Israeli army's heavy losses. Unlike the Arab armed forces, Hamas's tactical literacy this time is astonishing - super-saturation tactics are skillful; Joint operations were fought with a clear eye; Tactical decapitation appears precise and powerful. As a result, the Israeli army's original strategy and tactics are no longer applicable, and Hamas's combat capability and tactical literacy need to be re-examined. In conclusion, the recurrence of the setback of Israel's military operations should be a cause for our attention. They need to re-examine their strategies and tactics, especially their awareness of new technologies and tactics, in order to respond to the realities of Hamas. At the same time, Hamas's tactical savvy needs to be taken seriously by other countries, and these experiences can have a huge impact on military operations in other regions. Therefore, we should think about how to deal with these new situations and challenges in order to better maintain global peace and stability. What do you think we should prioritize for national military operations? The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has once again aroused the attention of the Middle East region, and the fighting between the two sides is not only conducted militarily, but also fiercely contested in psychological warfare and public opinion warfare.

Palestinian armed groups have made full use of modern media technology to attract global attention by live-streaming battle scenes and publishing videos of the embarrassed images of Israeli prisoners. The problems exposed by the Israeli army this time are of great significance to Israel, which may not only expose it to a more severe security situation, but also may lead to further instability in the Middle East. As a country built on the flames of war, Israel has always maintained its survival and development with superior force. Victory in five Middle East wars provided a guarantee for the Israeli state. However, the problems exposed by the Israeli army in the fighting have shaken the very foundation of Israel's statehood. Israel will face more challenges and threats, and anti-Israel forces in various countries will intensify their attacks on Israel. In fact, Allah forces and others have already begun to attack Israel. In addition, talks to normalize relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia have also been interrupted by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which could be a bellwether for the deterioration of the security situation in the Middle East. The military balance in the Middle East has always been established on the basis of Israel's qualitative superiority and the quantitative superiority of Arab states. However, the turmoil caused by the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict threatens to upset that balance.

In the future, the Middle East may face an even more volatile situation, with further tensions between countries and possible escalation of conflicts. To sum up, the problems raised by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict have far-reaching implications not only for Israel itself, but also for the entire Middle East region. The deterioration of the security situation in Israel could lead to more challenges and threats, the military balance in the Middle East could be upset, and the situation could be even more volatile in the future. In the face of such a situation, all countries should remain calm and resolve differences through dialogue and negotiation to avoid further escalation of conflicts. It is only through peace and cooperation that long-term stability and development in the Middle East can be achieved. Finally, I would like to ask readers, how do you think we can effectively resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and achieve peace and stability in the Middle East? We welcome your comments to share your views and suggestions. The chain reaction of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict: The reshuffle of the regional pattern, the geopolitical confrontation between the United States and Russia, and the election of the United States are temporarily over, but the chain reaction triggered by the conflict may have a far-reaching impact on the future. First, the conflict has exposed the problems posed by Israel's long-standing commitment to peace, and if the balance is upset, the regional landscape could be reshuffled, which means a more volatile future for stability in the Middle East.

Second, the geopolitical confrontation between the United States and Russia may become more intense, and this conflict has caused the United States to suffer a major setback in the Middle East, triggering a chain reaction. In addition, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the bombing of Syria by the U.S. military, and the joint U.S.-Japan air power exercises are all consequences of this chain reaction. Finally, the impact of this conflict on the US election cannot be underestimated. The Biden administration's major setbacks in the diplomatic and geopolitical fields will surely become a cannonball for Republican attacks and affect future elections. We hope that this conflict will not bring more harm and instability, but in fact, it has already triggered a chain reaction on multiple fronts. Under such circumstances, we need to pay more attention to regional stability and balance, strengthen cooperation, and jointly address regional issues, otherwise it will be difficult to predict future risks. In order to alleviate the factors of instability, it is necessary for all parties to work together to build a peaceful and stable Middle East region, and let us look forward to a bright future for this region.
