The Israeli army is not ready for a regional war, based on the events and results of the recent war on Gaza Strip, Yitzhak Brik, former Israeli officer, said on Saturday.
“This month, Israelis witnessed a horrific scenario, where the belief of the victory of the Air Force in any war was completely destroyed,” Brik told Haaretz.
“They mainly tried to revive this belief in the Israeli military operation called (Guardian of the Walls) by retired Generals who are sometimes used as analysts,” he added.
The operation participated by Israeli Air Force, destroyed the infrastructure of Hamas and Jihad Movements in Gaza Strip.
Brik pointed out that hundreds of flights and hundreds of planes dropped precision munitions valued at billions of dollars on a small piece of land, Gaza, but despite all this, they did not succeed in stopping the firing of rockets and artillery until the zero hour for the ceasefire to enter into force.
“Both Hamas and Jihad continued firing missiles and artillery shells as nothing was happened to them,” he noted.
The former officer believed that what he called “Israeli enemies” are able to continue fighting for weeks and months due to the large weapon depots they have which contain 250,000 missiles and shells.
He pointed out that Israel does not have enough depot of anti-surface-to-surface missiles of the enemy due to its high cost.
“Most of the enemy’s missiles are fixed on mobile launching pads that change their place after the launching, where it is difficult to define their positions to destroy them.”
He stressed that after the last round, both the security and political leadership of Israel “must not present the victory image to the people of Israel.”
“Israeli leaders must return to their senses and immediately meet in a dialogue session to make decisions to prepare the army to confront a multi-front war and shape a modern security belief.”
When you take away everything they have
people have nothing to live for
they make fearless fighters against iseali opression
hamas are fighting the war on the jews for us all
and deserve our support
I’m pleased Israel got beaten down, but it makes me wonder how much of that was due to their air force having the F-35 and few F-16s, -18s and -14s? And because of that flying pig they had to rely on a missile system that wasn’t reliable, which showed once again that just as in the past to subdue an enemy you must have boots on the ground, and a superior fighting force to get them there?
It’s reminds me of how Hitler relied on wonder weapons when his own very capable, often superior armies eventually faced defeat. The lesson from Hitler is take small pieces at a time, secure them fully then move on – don’t over-extend. The lesson from Israel is they couldn’t even subdue the land they claim is theirs.
All that US tax-payer money and free combat weapons and aircraft, plus money for Adult Diapers for their ‘fearless IDF’, and look what happens when they met a determined enemy?
Cornelius got it right, and proves Gerald Celente’s adage; ‘When people lose everything, they lose it’. Take everything away, and all that remains is to fight with total abandon.

Israel succeeded in creating true zealots by taking EVERYTHING away from a people who opened their arms to the ‘poor Jews’ arriving after WW2. Couldn’t let ‘non-Jews’ live – no, no. Had to go on an extermination program they claimed was used on them.
Small wonder they’ve been kicked out out of nearly every country they’ve lived in.
When ashes reign, so will peace.
I’ll say this,,, few are as war mongering as the US. But Israel is a close second.
