The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz considered, on Friday, that almost half a year has passed since the start of the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip, but its results are still not satisfactory at all, after Israel had entered it in a terrible position through the large-scale invasion, after the attack on October 7/ Last October.

The newspaper said, as stated in an analytical report by its correspondent and military analyst, Amos Harel, that it has become clear to everyone except the fools, that there is no value in the promises of absolute victory that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes from day to day.

Harel stated that the goals of the war after that attack were to inflict severe damage on the Hamas movement, occupy territory in Gaza, force the evacuation of residents in the northern Gaza Strip, and kill the largest possible number of militants, but after all this time, the threat of Hamas’s presence has not been completely removed. .

Harel said: The level of expectations for the destruction of Hamas and the dismantling of its capabilities were very high, and within a strict time frame that does not exceed a few months, but it seems that the war will be prolonged, and it is difficult to believe in the possibility of completely dismantling its regime, even in the future, and even more so with regard to the goal that relates to the return of prisoners. It seems that it is difficult to impose a deal on Hamas that it does not want in order to liberate them, at a time when the death toll among Israeli prisoners is increasing, and any delay based on a theoretical hope of achieving the first goal of dismantling Hamas harms the achievement of the second goal.

An Israeli officer believes that what could harm Hamas is its impact on the assassination of its senior leaders, the loss of territory in the long term, and attempts to undermine its rule throughout the Strip.

The newspaper says that the Israeli army, like Western armies, wants to count the bodies excessively, and therefore it was announcing the killing of 12,000 Hamas militants, and it seems that it considered Gaza’s losses, including among civilians, as being from Hamas, in addition to the pressure exerted on the army by Higher levels to bring in bigger numbers.

It indicated that the number of Israeli soldiers killed has reached 600 since the beginning of the war, half of whom fell in the ground maneuver at the end of last October. This number is still much lower than the number that was expected to reach on the eve of what was circulated at the beginning of the war.

Harel pointed out that Hamas adopted a new tactic under Israeli pressure, by dividing the brigades into small groups. It tried to attack the forces during the ground advance, especially after they were stationed in several areas. Its most effective weapon was the old RPG launcher, which still kills many people. Of the dead, especially in soldiers' positions.

Harel pointed out the complexities of the expected military operation in Rafah, in light of the American pressure on Israel to evacuate the displaced population there, and with these complications and the possibility that its implementation will take a longer time, Israel is likely to search for other targets, and the reasonable possibility is to raid the camps in the middle of the Gaza Strip, especially Nuseirat. And Deir Al-Balah.

He pointed out that American pressure after the incident of the attack on the vehicles of the Global Central Kitchen team, criticism of the actions of the Israeli army, and its increasing failures may lead to increased pressure on Tel Aviv to reach a ceasefire agreement.

In another report, by the Hebrew newspaper, it focused on the extent of the destruction in the Gaza Strip, after six months of war.

The newspaper said in a report by its correspondent for Palestinian affairs, Amira Hass, that the human imagination is limited, unlike the imagination of war merchants and weapons developers, and because there is no other dictionary, there is nothing that can describe the destruction and losses inflicted on the Gaza Strip.

Haas added: In theory, it was enough to watch hundreds, if not thousands, of short video clips showing children trembling, unable to control due to trembling, after the Israeli bombing: in hospitals, in the street, some of them complaining and others unable to. He utters one word: This is one detail that is enough to show part of the disaster.

Haas pointed to the high number of casualties among children, women, and families that lost most of their members, in addition to the famine affecting all Gazans.
