Efraim Gannon in an article published by Maariv newspaper
The military operation in the city of Rafah will not be the last moment of this war, and will not undermine the Hamas movement, adding, “Whoever deludes himself with this does not understand that Netanyahu’s statement that we are one step away from victory is a joke and disconnected from reality.”
The writer Ephraim Gannon continued in an article. The Hebrew newspaper “Maariv” published it: “After more than half a year of a war that does not see an end, and while there are those who make the expected entry of the Israeli army into Rafah a goal that will provide an image of victory for this war, the reality in practice is completely different.”
Gannon explained that “the entry To Rafah, the last fortified stronghold of Hamas, as well as the gathering place of our abductees, who were dragged there with the stream of Resistance elements who fled there for the final battle for survival, greatly raises the fear that while the Israeli army maneuvers inside it, the abductees will also be harmed. He pointed out that hundreds of Resistance elements began to spread throughout the Gaza Strip after half a year of war, and took control of the places from which the Israeli army left, and they resumed their operations, including firing rockets and mortar shells around the cover towns, including Ashkelon.
It is required to establish a civil apparatus that solves humanitarian problems and addresses various issues such as medicine, education, security, and work. He stated that without this apparatus, the Gaza Strip would become another version of the Vietnam War, a war in which the Americans were involved at the time in a fierce guerrilla war. It lasted for nine years, leaving more than 58 thousand dead, and in the end they expelled their tail and returned their forces home with the victory of North Vietnam.
The Israeli army is well aware of the army’s weaknesses inside the Gaza Strip, which will cost a heavy and painful bloody price.” He noted that Sinwar and his companions in the Hamas leadership still believe in their strength and successes, and that they will return to control the Gaza Strip, adding that they derive this strength from their ability to control even after Half a year of war, which indicates the failure of the Israeli government, which has not been able to understand this correctly until today.
He concluded by saying: “The occupation of the Gaza Strip is not enough to undermine Hamas. Without presenting a plan with civilian control agencies, this is a continuation of this government’s behavior.” This is what will make the Gaza Strip a syndrome with no solution ”
