Retired General Yitzhak Brik
Al Mayadeen – Sept 3, 2024
Israeli media cited a security source confirming that “Hamas has successfully restored its capabilities in the northern Gaza Strip.”
Reports indicate that an estimated 3,000 Hamas fighters “have resumed operations in the northern Gaza Strip and are actively working to enhance the organization’s operational capabilities.”
These estimates suggest that the issue involves Hamas recruiting new members in recent months, rather than transferring fighters from the southern to the northern part of the Gaza Strip. That said, senior officials in the security and military establishment have stated that a large-scale incursion into the northern Gaza Strip is becoming inevitable.
‘It is not Hamas that is collapsing, it is Israel’
In an article titled “It is not Hamas that is collapsing, but Israel,” published in Haaretz, retired General Yitzhak Brik offered a critical assessment of the ongoing battles in the Gaza Strip. He underscored the significant and escalating losses “Israel” is facing, arguing that the war is exerting a far heavier toll on “Israel” itself than on Hamas.
He argued that soldiers are exhausted and are losing their skills for lack of training; especially since many are leaving their courses before completing them.
“Some argue that withdrawing army forces from Gaza after signing a hostage deal with Hamas would be the same as being defeated and surrendering… This claim is grounded in a fundamental misunderstanding of what is taking place in the Gaza Strip. It is fueled by clichés spread by the political and military echelons to justify their actions and gain public support and legitimacy to continue a failed war… it is those very same people declaring that a cessation of hostilities means our defeat and surrender who are bringing the military closer to collapse and the state to its downfall,” he added.
He pointed out the need to concentrate occupation forces in other sectors, namely in the north and the West Bank due to the ongoing escalations, occupation forces will have to withdraw from Gaza because there are “not enough forces to fight on several fronts at the same time.”
“In other words, the day will come when the IDF will no longer be able to remain in the Gaza Strip because Hamas will be in full control of it – both in the underground tunnel city that stretches hundreds of kilometers and above ground,” Brik explained.
He added, “If we stop raiding because the military is weak and because we have no other choice, or if we move our forces to other areas, our enemies will declare with fanfare that the Israeli military has thrown in the towel, left Gaza and surrendered.”
That said, Brik suggested that by preempting matters and agreeing to a deal to return the captives and prisoners, the battles in Gaza must end.
It would be useful to know what kind of discussions go on between western powers and Israel about what they’ll do if Israelis need evacuating en mass from Occupied Palestine, but more than that have they ever spoken about any suitable parcel of land another country should give the Jews this time? Or will it be that only Palestine mattered, and that once it’s gone the west won’t really give a damn about them anymore?
Losing Palestine won’t mean they lose their money or control over all they own. The Jews will demand something, possibly some place, and they will expect to get it. Is the Isle of Wight big enough for them? That’d piss off David Icke, some Jew settler turning him out of his nice house at gunpoint.
Anyone with a military/big crime/terror background will know how difficult it is to be supplied in a live action zone,let alone be resupplied.this applies when you have space to maneuver and equipment for hauling,lifting and crossing.when under siege ,fully encircled,like gaza,you can not survive,you will be exhausted.
OVER 700 AID WORKERS AND VOLUNTEER MEDICS KILLING IN ISRAELI BOMBINGS
The Family of British aid worker killed in Gaza call for independent inquiry The family of James Kirby, a World Central Kitchen aid worker killed in Gaza, have called for an independent investigation into his death and said neither British nor Israeli diplomats had been in touch, even though an internal Israeli inquiry said his death had been a tragic accident. kirby was among seven aid workers, including Britons John Chapman and James Henderson, who were killed when an Israeli airstrike targeted their clearly marked vehicle on 1 April.
The statement was issued by Kirby’s cousin Louise on behalf of his family on the day of his memorial service in Bristol Cathedral.
Describing his death as a diabolical tragedy and a murder, the family said they were “still struggling to find answers and accountability for what happened”, pointing out the aid workers were travelling in a vehicle for which clearance had been given for them to carry out humanitarian work.
There have been 700 such deaths of aid workers volunteer medics nurses etc some from my own hospital here in the UK Hindus Muslims Christians and some with no religious identities just a wish
to help the starving opressed people of gaza . many with families back home have been in the hospitals bombed by israeli terrorists.
One a 29 year old trainee doctor from Liverpool was carrying bottles of drinking water through the tunnels when they were bombed.
This terror must stop
guess that plan of isn’treal failed when the infiltrators switched sides.
Especially against the all hearing,all seeing (5i’s),and all knowing jewish state.hell they can probably even read your thoughts in real time.they can even predict or control your behaviour .
Btw,when dealing with arabs you do not need any sophisticated technology or sigint.they will spy on eachother and send and e-mail to the jews.
Hamas is a Mossad front , a cut out, and has been a Mossad front since its creation decades ago, October 7 was a false flag to give the excuse to genocide the Palestinian people and the ZUS regime is totally complicit.
“In the underground tunnel city that stretches hundreds of kilometers” .. told you about these subterranean megacities and warfare going on .. but the only things they showed you were ugly buildings being destroyed ..

internationaly for lawyers to bring this criminal
israeli government to justice .
MM–it was the Eastern Jews of Russia and Poland who insisted on Palestine, not the West: they were being offered other places by the West e.g. Uganda and Siberia
@antiJHWH
Give them Alaska? Why do you hate moose?
The guy in the picture would make a good Davros if the BBC ever remake Dr Woke’s Genesis of The Daleks…
Why are you people expecting jooooooze to accept pieces of land that do not contain a city called Jerusalem, jooooooze believe it is theirs and theirs alone, Jerusalem is not in Madagascar or Uganda, Siberia etc it is in the Holy Land.
