We are unable to involve in regional war: former Israeli officer
[NPASYRIA] The Israeli army is not ready for a regional war, based on the events and results of the recent war on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, Yitzhak Brik, former Israeli officer, said on Saturday.

"This month, Israelis witnessed a horrific scenario, where the belief of the victory of the Air Force in any war was completely destroyed," Brik told Haaretz.

"They mainly tried to revive this belief in the Israeli military operation called (Guardian of the Walls) by retired Generals who are sometimes used as analysts," he added.

The operation participated by Israeli Air Force, destroyed the infrastructure of Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, and Jihad Movements in Gaza Strip.

Brik pointed out that hundreds of flights and hundreds of planes dropped precision munitions valued at billions of dollars on a small piece of land, Gaza, but despite all this, they did not succeed in stopping the firing of rockets and artillery until the zero hour for the ceasefire to enter into force.

"Both Hamas and Jihad continued firing missiles and artillery shells as nothing was happened to them," he noted.

The former officer believed that what he called "Israeli enemies" are able to continue fighting for weeks and months due to the large weapon depots they have which contain 250,000 missiles and shells.

He pointed out that Israel does not have enough depot of anti-surface-to-surface missiles of the enemy due to its high cost.

"Most of the enemy’s missiles are fixed on mobile launching pads that change their place after the launching, where it is difficult to define their positions to destroy them."

#1 'Precision' bombing vs. 'area' bombing.

#5 If the purpose of the Israeli reaction was to stop the firing of rockets, this guy's comment might have some sense to it.
But the purposes seem to me to affect the morale of the Hamas leadership, to reduce the weapons resources of Hamas, and to minimize the damage from Hamas's weapons.
Every missile shot off, was a missile no longer available to Hamas.
The important questions are, how much damage did the missiles do to Israel? How many Israeli casualties did they cause? How much did the Israeli military learn from the attacks and how can it improve its methods and forces as a result of that learning.
My impression is that the casualties in Israel and damage to Israel assets were not excessive.
Most importantly, what is the lesson that Hezbollah learned from this test?
Will the destruction to Lebanon be so vast that it will avoid a similar war?

#6 Obvious but IDF continue to show to not understand what is this war and how it should be fought.

#7 Just for the record, Hamas has no 'lessons learned' dept. All the have ate varying bureaus of hate.
