Under the addition of many years of "public opinion creates gods", Israel's name of "Little Overlord of the Middle East" has really fooled many people.
Even until now, there are still a few netizens with poor brains who are eating this set of old rotten millet propaganda tricks.
For example, after the recent Rafah war began, what did you say, "The Israeli army has reached the last piece of land in Gaza, who would dare to say that the Israeli army is not strong"?
It's really surprising to see such statements.
After the Israeli army mobilized, with more than 500,000 people, it went to fight the opponent's 30,000 lightly armed infantry, and against the background of its own land, sea, and air heavy weapons, and the world's number one military power to provide intelligence, arms, and logistical support, and did not take into account the civilian casualties at all, and burned all the way with the "privilege of war", it fought for more than seven months without eating the Gaza Strip, which is only 365 square kilometers.
- Excuse me, what kind of "glorious record" is this?
Some people say that the Israeli army cares about civilians, so it fights slowly, and he doesn't blush when he says this? Some people say that Hamas has a lot of tunnels and the Israeli army can't deal with it, but isn't the original "flooded tunnels by the sea" also what you said? Why doesn't it work?
You can't call Hamas's 30,000 light infantry an alien mecha legion!
After all, this armed force does not have a single tank, not a single heavy artillery, not a single warplane, and its best weapons are only a few large-caliber mortars and homemade rocket launchers.
Yes, it doesn't even have many serious anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles; Moreover, there is very little room for maneuver in the combat area, and it is still surrounded by the absolute land, sea, and air blockade of the Israeli army.
Under such a comparison of military strength, the Israeli army did not even achieve superficial occupation after more than half a year of fighting; Moreover, in areas where the Great War was once held, Hamas has also restored military and civilian control.
We don't know what kind of cheeky "person" is still boasting about IDF invincibility here?
Of course, no normal person should understand, just as we cannot understand the behavior of Israel's Permanent Representative to the UN Erdan, who used a shredder to shred the UN Charter at the meeting.
Erdan's anger is because in the UN General Assembly vote, 143 countries supported Palestine, and only 9 countries supported Israel, including Israel and the United States.
So, who is going against the world?
Even the United States, which voted for Israel at the UN General Assembly, did not absolutely and unconditionally support Israel in all military policies.
For example, the United States did not support the operation of Rafah; Moreover, even the United States, which bombs people in the Middle East, is very surprised by Israel's indiscriminate bombing of Gaza and has repeatedly demanded that Israel lift its restrictions on humanitarian assistance.
In this regard, of course, the Israeli side has no good face.
But when the retrograde Israel is not willing to fully support even the United States, can its internal military and political leadership be united?
- That must also be impossible.
Netanyahu, Gallant and Halevy
Moreover, what is unacceptable to those "little fans" of the Israel Defense Forces is that Lieutenant General Halevy, chief of the general staff of the Israeli army, does not think that the performance of the "heavenly soldiers" is very good, but instead takes a miserable posture and "fires fire" at Prime Minister Netanyahu.
According to Israeli media reports, recently Lieutenant General Halevi publicly attacked Netanyahu's move not to discuss a post-war scenario in Gaza, claiming:
We are now relaunching our operations in Jabaliya (in northern Gaza), and as long as we do not establish a non-Hamas governing body in the Gaza Strip through diplomatic means, we will have to launch operation after operation elsewhere to destroy the infrastructure of Hamas, which will become a Sisyphean (never-ending, futile task).
When Halevi said this, it is obvious that he has a specific military background.
Because the current Israeli infantry is extremely low, it does not dare or is not good at close combat with the Hamas forces; Since the current round of the Gaza war, Hamas has released a large number of close-range pictures of the enemy's annihilation, but apart from the indiscriminate bombardment, the footage released by the Israeli army has very few results in close-range combat, and most of them are pictures of indiscriminate shooting.
In this mode of fighting, the Israeli army is simply not able to penetrate deep into the neighborhoods of Gaza to fight street battles, and thus to eliminate the living forces of the Hamas forces.
After the Israeli army was unable to control specific areas and had to withdraw its troops subsequently, the Hamas forces in the local military force quickly reorganized and restored local civilian rule.
Because there is no post-war management plan, and the Israeli army must "eliminate" Hamas, then it will have to send troops to fight once, twice, or even three or four times, but no matter how many times it fights, it still can't eliminate Hamas, but it keeps causing casualties.
In the case of Jabaliya, which Al-Halevi mentioned, the area was heavily besieged by the Israeli army in early November 2023, and the Israeli army announced that it had eliminated the local Hamas organization after two months of war. But this is just a report from the IDF's characteristic base camp, and the local Hamas forces have not been eliminated until now, which is why the Israeli army has continued to repeat the battle.
On May 10, in the "repeated operation" south of Gaza, the 931st Battalion of the 933rd Brigade of the Israeli Army was beaten, and only 5 soldiers were authorized to be killed (4 were approved before, and 1 was added later).
In a region where "victory" has already been declared, Hamas forces continue to appear and repeatedly cause casualties on their own side, whose face is this?
You know, the army of a small country like Israel, it is unable to maintain a high mobilization state for too long, and now the war in Gaza has been going on for more than half a year, and the Israeli army has to deal with Allah in Lebanon and the West Bank; The battle is fought by soldiers, and Halevy, as the chief of the General Staff, can he not have a big head?
However, the war has cost Israel too many points, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reluctant to accept a truce, because the follow-up political reckoning and accountability will be very troublesome.
Therefore, the war must continue continuously, which displeased the military, who were specifically responsible for the bloodshed.
Netanyahu with Barr (right) and his deputy
In the face of Netanyahu's selfishness leading to the chaos of the war in Gaza, Israeli Defense Minister Gallant and Simbert (Israel's General Security Service) head Barr discussed in private, and in the meeting with Netanyahu, the results of the discussion were presented, which caused Netanyahu's public dissatisfaction.
Israeli media reported that Netanyahu immediately interrupted Barr's words and asked: What? Are you consulting strategically with the Secretary of Defense?
Not to be outdone, Barr responded: What is the problem? Of course!
Sorry, I misplaced the picture
Netanyahu was quick to say that both Simbert and the Mossad (Israel's intelligence and secret service) were subordinate to him and should not be under Gallant's orders.
And Defense Minister Gallant was not to be outdone, and countered: Are you preventing the Secretary of Defense from participating in the strategic review? If it weren't for us (referring to the "communication" with the head of Simbet), who else could it be?
Netanyahu, for his part, reaffirmed his powers as prime minister, saying that the strategic review could only take place here [under his own chairmanship].
And Gallant hit back by saying, "Every time you call for a strategic review, we come prepared, and we have a responsibility to meet in advance to be prepared, and the problem is that you don't do any deliberation at all."
It is obviously not a good phenomenon for such an open conflict between Israel's military and political leadership, and if the "heavenly soldiers" are really so capable of fighting, why should the cabinet elders quarrel like this?
Of course, given that the "little fans" never read the Israeli media, they may not even know that there can be a mess within the Heavenly Soldiers.
Since the war has no purpose at all, with the idea of fighting one day at a time and dragging on one day at a time, it is no wonder that Defense Minister Gallant and Chief of the General Staff of the Defense Forces Halevi are in a hurry!
Under the pressure of all sides, Netanyahu also mentioned in general terms that after the war in Gaza, a civilian government that is not hostile to the Israelis should be established, but it needs the assistance of the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and other countries; Moreover, it is necessary to reserve the right of Israeli troops to enter Gaza at any time and arrest and kill people.
The U.S. has suggested that there are five countries that can "rebuild Gaza," which are presumed to be Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Egypt and Qatar.
But because the Gazans already have a deep blood feud with Israel, it is not easy to establish an Israeli puppet regime there; Especially on the premise that the Israeli army cannot eliminate the Gaza resistance, the Israeli army itself cannot do it, and the puppet army can be relied on?
Therefore, the war in Gaza is still a headache for Israel, and it cannot be solved by demolishing buildings and bulldozing buildings and massacres of civilians in Rafah; It's not something that can be solved by the hard mouths of the "little fans", after all, no matter how hard your mouth is, can you still have the 500,000 hard army of IDF?
