Abu Nawar: Israel’s ‘Circle of Death’ Strategy Will Not Work

Retired Maj-Gen Mamoun Abu Nawar, military expert, said what the occupation is doing in north Gaza is based on the “circle of death” strategy which relies on intensive aerial bombardment for the purpose of killing, demolitioning and destruction.

He noted however, the steadfastness of the people of Gaza and their refusal to leave their land will stop this plan in its tracks.

Abu Nawar added to Jordan 24 that the Gazan people have become convinced that this war will not end with them exit from the north and their displacement to Al-Mawasi.

He pointed out that they know that the Israel occupation forces will continue to pursue them and work to displace them from one area to another.

Abu Nawar stressed that what is happening in Jabalia and Jabalia camp is beyond reason and it is considered deliberate murder crimes that require the intervention of the Security Council and the international community.

He explained that Israel does not have the right to self-defense and its practices are completely consistent with terrorist practices given that it is an occupying state according to international charters, norms and laws, and the Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves and determine their fate.

Abu Nawar pointed out the occupation’s detention of Yahya Sinwar’s body violates international norms and humanitarian law and affects human dignity.

The former Retired Major General pointed out that the generals’ plan relies on collective punishment, killing, and spreading terror to create a state of despair among the people of the Gaza Strip, stressing there is no army in the world that uses this killing and mass massacres as the occupation army does.

Abu Nawar concluded his speech by saying that there must be intervention by the Security Council to stop the fighting and aggression on Gaza and open humanitarian corridors to save the people of Gaza, stressing that the situation is dangerous and requires Arab intervention to issue a Security Council resolution and impose it

    US/Israel Used 3000 Missiles in First 36 Hours of War

    More than 3,000 precision-guided munitions and interceptors were used in the first 36 hours of the US-Israeli offensive against Iran, revealing a major weakness in the supply chain.

    Estimates by the Payne Institute indicated that Iran launched over 1,000 weapons across the region, including around 380 ballistic missiles, 700 Shahed drones, and 50 air defense missiles, prompting large-scale interception attempts by the US, Israel, and Gulf countries that have been targets of Iranian retaliatory attacks.

    During the opening phase of the campaign, US forces used a wide range of offensive weapons, including 210 JDAM precision-guided bombs, 120 Tomahawk cruise missiles, 120 low-cost drones, and 90 AGM-88 anti-radiation missiles targeting Iranian radar systems.

    Israeli forces also conducted extensive strikes, using about 280 Spice-guided bombs, 140 smart bomb kits, 70 Rampage supersonic missiles, and 50 Delilah cruise or loitering missiles, according to the estimates.

    Defensive systems were also heavily used to intercept Iranian attacks. The US fired approximately 180 SM-2/SM-3/SM-6 naval interceptors, 90 Patriot PAC-2/PAC-3 missiles, and 40 THAAD interceptors, while Israel deployed 70 Iron Dome Tamir interceptors, 40 Arrow missiles, and 35 David’s Sling interceptors.

    Regional partners also participated in air defense efforts, with Gulf states launching about 250 Patriot PAC-3 interceptors and 30 THAAD missiles, the estimates showed.

    The intense exchange of missiles and drones underscored a broader strategic challenge, according to media reports. While defensive systems have largely intercepted incoming attacks, the cost and volume of munitions used are placing significant strain on Western supply chains.

    Replenishing these arsenals is not only a financial challenge but also a supply-chain issue tied to critical minerals, including cobalt, tungsten, and rare earth elements that are essential for guidance systems, electronics, and rocket motors.

    Many of these materials are sourced from limited suppliers, with China dominating several key mineral markets, raising concerns that prolonged conflict could expose vulnerabilities in Western defense manufacturing capacity. Anadolu
