The balance of power between Israel and Gaza..
"Impossible comparison and sudden imbalance"!
Although there is no comparison between Israel's modern military arsenal and those held by Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip, the "Al-Aqsa deluge" appears to have tipped the scales.
The French :
newspaper Le Monde spoke about this
noting that Hamas in the Gaza Strip by "carrying out the most violent attack
on Israeli territory, killing and abducting civilians and military alike
changed the balance of power on the ground.
The "defencestreet.com"
- site foreshadowed the same view by monitoring that
- the military balance between Israel and Palestine
- had greatly disrupted even though Israel
had well :
established and technically advanced armed forces :
- including a well-trained army, air and sea weapons.
- has modern equipment, intelligence capabilities
- and reliable defence infrastructure .
In contrast :
- the defence site drew attention to the lack of
- central armed forces" in the Palestinian territories
- particularly in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
The situation is complex, with various factions
including Hamas in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
although some groups have paramilitary formations
they cannot be compared in size, training or technology with the IDF ".
In its review of :
the parties' current strength :
the site stated that Israel "possesses a significantly more advanced
and equipped army than any specific Palestinian faction or group.
Israel has a highly trained
and technically advanced army, including a powerful air force
advanced intelligence capabilities and modern weapons.
In addition :
Israel benefits from strong international alliances
particularly with the United States.
This military website pointed out that
predicting the outcome of a virtual war between Israel
and Palestine is complex and sensitive.
wars have serious consequences
and discussions on such scenarios exaggerate the streamlining of
the deep-rooted and multifaceted Israeli-Palestinian conflict ".
In this context :
it was pointed out that
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is deeply rooted in historical
political and cultural issues, and any attempt to confine it
to a military confrontation ignores the human difficulties
and losses associated with it".
The site described Operation
- "Al-Aqsa Deluge" as a "departure from previous tactics
- indicating a more sophisticated military operation.
- the group used new means of war
some of which had never been used before in conflicts .
For its part :
the Indian television channel "ndtv"
confirmed the impossibility of making "a direct comparison between
the military strength of Hamas and the Israeli armed forces
because Hamas, according to him, is" fighting an unconventional terrorist battle.
On the other hand
the Indian site stopped in front of what it described
as the "interesting use of relatively new weapons systems
such as drones and gliders
as well as long-range missiles", which, in his view, "referred to a different
and more advanced form of terrorist operations.
It now seems inevitable that Israel will face this by using
its largely superior traditional forces if there is a ground attack on the Gaza Strip.
As for the "Hamas arsenal"
the Indian television channel found the recent attack
by Hamas unprecedented, a military operation complete
by new means of war
"some of which had never been used in an active conflict before".
For example :
this source drew attention to Hamas's use of
"electric gliders to transport terrorists into Israeli territory
bypassing heavily fortified checkpoints", and also monitored that
Hamas had "for the first time used unmanned armed aircraft to
destroy Israel's most advanced Mercava 4 tank.
The site also
touched on rockets fired from Gaza
pointing out that such an order, although typical, "some rockets had a range of more than 70 km, reaching Tel Aviv, indicating the use of relatively advanced steering systems and engines."
The same source came to the conclusion that
although Israel is known for its
intelligence apparatus operating through many agencies
it will now have to rely heavily on its conventional military
force in the event of a larger military conflict, which now seems inevitable.
For the IAF
it was noted that it was "one of the most technologically advanced
air forces in the world, weapons systems, equipped with F-35 stealth fighters
a wide range of smart bombs that :
- hit targets with minimal collateral damage
- and a web-based operating system in which sensors
- are used at several levels to detect and infect targets.
Moreover :
it was stated that Israel "is also a nuclear force
a possibility that may be inappropriate in the context of
fighting with Hamas, but which is a deterrent if the conflict exceeds its limits.
