Military and strategic expert Nidal Abu Zeid stated that Gaza is no longer just a battlefield, but has been transformed into a laboratory for contemporary colonial violence, where the Israeli occupation has attempted various military plans but failed to achieve its objectives.
Abu Zeid told Jordan 24 that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statements about the option of occupying Gaza are part of an attempt to raise the military cost for the resistance in order to push it to make political concessions. He pointed out that current data confirms that occupying Gaza requires more ground forces, which is unavailable given the state of depletion the occupation army is suffering from.
Abu Zeid explained that the images of military buildup recently broadcast by the occupation are mostly still images, used in military psychology as a means of achieving the effect of shock and intimidation without any real action on the ground.
He pointed out that the occupation has adopted the same media approach that accompanied the failed “Gideon’s Wagons” operation, hyping up the possibility of expanding control or annexing parts of the Gaza Strip. This has led to conflicting objectives in the war and created a state of strategic confusion, which explains the military’s reluctance to pursue the military option for a prolonged period.
