Ex-general Warns of a ‘Holocaust in Israel’ If…

An ex-Israeli general said, Sunday, what is happening in the city of Rafah, is a disgrace to the Israeli army.

Israeli Radio quoted General Yitzhak Brik, a former head of the Israeli Army’s Complaints Committee, saying what is happening in Rafah is a disgrace, adding “the Israeli army is not actually fighting Hamas, but are bombing the roads and we are killing…” he said.

The ex-General continued that the Israeli army has been unable to deal with the Hamas movement, so how can it deal with the Lebanese Hezbollah?

Brik warned “any decision taken by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to attack Hezbollah will bring a holocaust on the [Israeli] state.”

According to Israeli reports, a large number of reserve officers in the army strongly criticized the political leadership after the killing of eight Israeli soldiers in their carrier in Rafah.

An Israeli website quoted one of the officers as saying: “The pattern of fighting in Rafah is flawed, and military operations should have been carried out faster and more decisively.”

Brik says the war in Gaza has lost its purpose and is continuing  only for Netanyahu’s benefit, pointing out the army’s capacity had been reduced by 20 years until it is no longer able to defeat Hamas.

He said that Israel is “facing strategic defeat that we have not witnessed since the founding of the country” emphasizing “we cannot stop Hezbollah’s missiles and drones,” asking “what will happen in s regional war when not tens but thousands of missiles and drones are launched at us every day?”

According to the testimonies, as IDF soldiers leave Lebanon, they load stolen items onto their vehicles openly, without attempting to conceal them. “It’s on a crazy scale,” one soldier said. “Anyone who takes something – televisions, cigarettes, tools, whatever – immediately puts it in their vehicle or leaves it off to the side, not inside the army base, but it’s not hidden. Everyone sees it and understands.” – The Palestine Project
