Yitzhak Brik: ‘This War is Destroying Us’

An ex-Israeli general said the army has not yet defeated the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and are probably not likely to.

The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation quoted Yitzhak Brik as saying the army is in a state of exhaustion and soldiers are refusing to serve in the military.

The retired-general added that a new, unqualified defense minister has been appointed, in reference to the dismissal of Yoav Galant and his replacement by Israel Katz.

He added the actual defense minister is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Regarding the northern front, Brik whilst acknowledging the fact that Israel “hit the Lebanese Hezbollah hard, but we are still far from eliminating it.”

Regarding the ground incursion into southern Lebanon, he said that “our forces have entered three kilometers deep, but they are not qualified to advance further.”

The retired-Israeli general added, “we are exposed to hundreds of rockets from Lebanon every day, and this war is destroying us.”

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip since 7 October, 2023, leaving more than 147,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing.

Coinciding with its aggression on Gaza, Israel continues its daily raids on Lebanon and its ground incursion into its south, while Hezbollah responds by firing missiles, drones and artillery shells targeting military sites, intelligence headquarters, military gatherings and settlements.
