The Israeli intelligence establishment has faced a significant setback, and the road to identifying its weaknesses and restoring its capabilities will be long and arduous.
However, the threat posed by Hamas waits for no one. Israel is in urgent need of a dependable informant at the highest echelons of Hamas, as the nation’s intelligence apparatus grapples with a profound crisis.
The man who planned the brutal massacre in the Israeli settlements on the border of the Gaza Strip, which holds most of the Israeli hostages, is Muhammad Def, the chief of staff of the military wing of Hamas. Mohammed Def is the most wanted by Israel which has tried to assassinate him five times already, Operation “Iron Swords” is a golden opportunity to kill him.
Hamas, an organization that has adopted the brutal methods of ISIS, recently carried out a pre-planned and gruesome massacre in Israeli settlements along the Gaza Strip border. This horrific act not only tarnished the image of Hamas but also sparked international outrage.
Israel is now determined to confront Hamas in the same way the Western world dealt with ISIS.
The Iranian Foreign Minister recently held a critical meeting in Doha, the capital of Qatar, with the leadership of Hamas. This meeting aimed to coordinate strategic moves in response to the potential IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. During the meeting, the new “red lines” for Hamas were established, and there was an expression of disappointment with Hezbollah’s cautious stance.
Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization but also a large religious political movement deeply rooted in Palestinian society.
Israel will find it difficult to completely eliminate Hamas, but it can, through an extensive military operation, assassinate its military leadership and destroy the military infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.
The leadership of Hamas is increasingly apprehensive about the possibility of an Israeli military invasion of the Gaza Strip. They fear that such an invasion could result in the ousting of their rule and the deportation of as many as half a million Palestinians to Egypt. A senior security official in Israel has suggested that Iran is a driving force behind the current escalation, particularly regarding Hamas’s infiltration of Israeli settlements along the Gaza Strip border.
The Hamas organization launched a surprise attack on Israel at the border of the Gaza Strip, successfully infiltrating dozens of terrorists into Israeli settlements and capturing some of them for the first time.This attack marks a declaration of war on Israel, constituting a strategic surprise, and it exposes a significant failure within Israel’s intelligence system, which failed to provide sufficient warning and readiness for such an event.
Saudi Arabia estimates that the anticipated normalization agreement with Israel will not immediately lead to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, but it may pave the way for it. It appears that Saudi Arabia will establish conditions for Israel, which it believes the Israeli government can meet to foster normalization between the two countries.
The process of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel is poised to bolster the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) position in Judea and Samaria while concurrently undermining Hamas’s influence. Early signs are already emerging of Hamas facing regional setbacks, which might prompt a fresh round of hostilities on the Gaza border as a demonstration of its continued regional relevance.
The PA has launched a media campaign against armed terrorist groups operating in northern Samaria. The campaign accuses these groups of receiving funding from Iran and conspiring to instigate a Palestinian civil war.
