After the "war of words" between Israel and Hamas, the two sides are completely on the same page. Israel's big brothers withdrew from the Cairo negotiating table without saying a word, while US President Joe Biden released harsh words, threatening that if Israel went one step further, the US arsenal would be locked. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was very angry and said directly: "Even if there are no American guns, our fighting will not stop!" ”
This time, the Israeli army learned wisely, and did not rush into the city in a daze as before, only to be disgraced by Hamas's tunnel warfare. They switched to a new trick - the big method of demolishing houses! The tank unit did not enter the city, and the D9 bulldozer was sent into battle instead, pushing the earth in front and loading an "iron fist" in the back, specializing in all kinds of disobedience. The tactic was simple and crude: first bombarded with artillery fire, then bulldozers followed, demolished one house today, and pushed that one tomorrow, turning the city into a construction site.
The lads of Israel don't want to play with their lives in the alleys anymore, after all, who is not afraid of death? As a result, the air force and artillery have stopped bombarding residential areas, and international public opinion is under great pressure, and the safety of civilians must be taken into account. Now, the Israeli army has been transformed into a house demolition worker and a trench digging expert, surrounding Rafah like a labyrinth, and Hamas wants to fight guerrillas? Difficult!
But Hamas is not a vegetarian, and thousands of people know that this is a tough battle. As soon as they mentioned peace, the Israeli side became even more vigorous, and the encirclement became tighter and tighter, as if they had to make a big deal out of it. Hamas's boss, Sinwar, knows in his heart that this fight is either you die or I live. Israel's hardliners are even more determined to eradicate Hamas, otherwise they will not be able to live in peace in the future.
Rafa is so big, but it is crowded with 1.5 million people. For Hamas and Israel, this is the lifeblood of the land. If Hamas survives this time, it will become famous in the Middle East in the future; If you can't hold on, you may have to roll up and leave. For Israel, this is not just a battle, it is won, it is a shock to all sides; If you lose, you have to look at people's faces when you go out in the future, the investment is gone, the talent is flowing, and the future of the country is hanging.
So, Rafa's battle is a big gamble for Netanyahu and Hamas's Sinwar. If Sinwar can hold on, Hamas's future will be a sunny avenue; If you can't stand it, you can only exit in disgrace.
