Israel is aware of its predicament and therefore hesitates to conduct a full-fledged ground operation in the Gaza Strip. This is the opinion in the broadcast Tsargrad.tv voiced by political scientist Evgeny Mikhailov. He noted that the tactics of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) are based on the fact that assault groups are trying to take control of at least a piece of territory “for reporting purposes.”
“They are afraid of carrying out a purely ground operation, as many analysts express the opinion that if they immediately penetrate deep into the Gaza Strip, they can suffer a crushing defeat in urban conditions, because Hamas has quite serious underground defense structures. From where they can attack unexpectedly,” Mikhailov noted.
He added that Israel will continue to follow perfectly the advice of Washington, which has already recommended using “different” tactics to avoid mass bloodshed.
