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.

The Israeli army said early Tuesday that it has conducted airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, the largest since a ceasefire with the Palestinian group Hamas took effect on Jan. 19.
“Based on directives from the political echelon, IDF and Shin Bet forces are launching a large-scale attack on Hamas terrorist targets throughout the Gaza Strip,” military spokesman Avichay Adraee said on X.

Local media, citing the Palestinian civil emergency service, said at least 200 people have been killed, including women and children.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have instructed the army to take “strong action” against Hamas in Gaza, the Prime Ministry’s Office said.
“This follows Hamas’s repeated refusal to release our hostages, as well as its rejection of all of the proposals it has received from US Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff and from the mediators,” it said in a statement.
The army is attacking Hamas targets in the Strip “to achieve the objectives of the war as they have been determined by the political echelon, including the release of all of our hostages, the living and the deceased.”
“Israel will, from now on, act against Hamas with increasing military strength. The operational plan was presented by the IDF over the weekend and approved by the political leadership,” it added.
Hamas said the Israeli government has declared war on Gaza by breaking the ceasefire agreement.
“We demand that the mediators hold Netanyahu and the Zionist occupation fully responsible for violating and overturning the agreement,” it said in a statement.
Israel consulted with US: White House
A White House spokesperson confirmed Monday that Israel consulted with the US on its airstrikes in Gaza.
“As President (Donald) Trump has made it clear: Hamas, the Houthis, Iran, all those who seek to terrorize not just Israel, but also the United States of America, will see a price to pay. All hell will break loose,” Karoline Leavitt told Fox News.
Ahead of a meeting Tuesday of the UN Security Council on Gaza, Israeli ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said the country will show “no mercy” against its enemies.
“Let me be very clear: Israel will not stop until all of our hostages are back home. We will make it very clear to the Security Council that if they want to stop the war in Gaza, they have to ensure that the hostages are coming back to Israel,” Danon said.
The UN did not immediately react to the strikes, but deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said the UN has consistently warned against a return to fighting in Gaza.
Despite the ceasefire, local authorities in Gaza had reported almost daily violations by the Israeli army.
Israeli attacks have killed more than 48,500 Palestinians since October 2023, most of them women and children, and left Gaza in ruins.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in November last year for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
