THE TACTICS OF THE CURRENT CONFLICT / ISRAEL / HAMAS
So, as day five nears of this current confrontation between Israel and Hamas, what is different this time
around compared to 2008; other than the Israel 's and the IDF's resolve...
so far?
Again, lets go back to the tactical issues fist and then end
up with a few " big picture" points.
Does anyone remember the raid on the "plant" in Africa a few weeks ago?
Does anyone remember what it was thought that
"plant" was there for?
If you know you are going to conduct an operation and you
know what dangers you face, you deal with the most saver threats first.
If Israel
had an approximate idea of how many of a certain type of weapon was already in
the area of future operations, and they knew they wanted to prevent " resupply"
of that item, then they would insure that could not take place; plus send a
message to anyone that was paying attention at the time.
If Israel
knew there was a type of weapon in the future area of operation that was the greatest
threat, would they not spend a great deal of time attempting to locate those
weapons for targeting purposes? ... Hint.. something they did not do well in
2006 / 2008.
Now, if this "weapon" was larger than others and
more difficult to move and execute, then that would mean the owners would have
a more difficult time concealing them and moving them to new locations....
something the Israelis counted on and continue to count on.
Once these most feared weapons are attacked the first round,
it allows you to have two advantages, one, you know longer have to worry about
concealing what you are doing and secondly it allows you to observe, openly,
where these weapons might be moved to.
What has become clear, from the second the vehicle was hit
five days ago, is the detail the Israelis have put into this operation.
Complex operations are not developed overnight!
What we are witnessing is the "change" Israel has
designed after the 2006 / 2008 conflicts with Hezbollah and Hamas.
What we are witnessing is a tactical operation with nothing
but offensive operations as it's baseline.
Simply put, Israel
has a mindset of not being thrown into the Defensive position ether militarily
or politically.
As I said two three days ago, the message being delivered is
not just to Hamas!!!!
The true message here is for Iran and Hezbollah.
Was this about rockets being fired from Gaza
into Israel ?
Yes, to some degree.
You see Israel
knew that action would always be the
reason for doing what they have now set out to do, they just needed to pick the
time when they needed that act to be the trigger; knowing all along a few
idiots in possession of certain types of weapons would simply be too tempting
to now use.
This is a plan that is fully supported... fully equipped
wrapped in detailed planning.
This is not 2006 /2008 and the Iranians, Hezbollah and
"others" know it.
Some are saying, " this is Iran 's way of pulling the trigger
with Hamas to get the attention off of Assad"!!!
These talking heads should stick with writing books based on
the cocktail parties they have attended.
Now....
Ask yourself why????
Oh ya... Taking out the Hamas Military "Brain"
hours before you start a campaign.... brilliant!!!
One last word of caution and it never changes... The "other-side" gets a vote on how it will turn out!
