In the latest operations in Gaza, Israel is continuing its mission to defeat Hamas militarily and politically. While Israel has the capability to remove Hamas as the governing political entity in Gaza, the question remains whether they can completely destroy the group. The United States has been putting pressure on Israel to change the nature of their operation and focus more on high-value targets rather than battalions and brigades. However, experts caution that focusing solely on leaders may not lead to the desired outcome, as seen in past experiences. It is argued that in order to truly defeat Hamas and prevent future attacks, Israel must target the entire infrastructure.
There are concerns that the US administration is getting too involved in the details of military operations, with some experts suggesting that they should stay out of it. The focus should be on allowing the IDF, who are skilled and knowledgeable about what needs to be done, to carry out their mission effectively.
