Keren Setton/The Media Line Jerusalem Post, Dec. 13, 2023 “The IDF method is to use massive airpower, then to encircle targeted areas, followed by increased incursions into territories as the hold over these territories gets stronger over time.” The clock is ticking on Israel’s military operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, as it is unclear […]
Colonel Richard Kemp The Telegraph, Dec. 11, 2023 “Wisely, the Israelis took little heed of American and British military experts that urged restraint, advising the IDF not to invade with armoured divisions but instead rely on special forces raids as they themselves had done in Iraq and Afghanistan.
