'Ready, aim, fire': This is how the IDF targets Hamas terrorists in Gaza
|
[JPost] The fight over judicial reform is long forgotten in the almost 100% reserve unit running the IDF’s targeting command operations for the Nahal Unit in Gaza.
IDF Maj. "Y," who works in a start-up using robots and as a mountain running training instructor, has left his family behind and is committed to seeing the Gaza war to its end, even if that takes another six months, he told The Jerusalem Post during a recent visit to the targeting center near the southern border
Blue, green, red, brown, and many other different colors flashed on Y’s screen signaling different sets of forces in the field, sensitive sights, or likely ambushes and tunnel spaces.
The targeting command is a critical part of the IDF’s integrated revolution to help select the exact right attack mechanism: from artillery, to tanks, to drone, to aircraft, to naval vessels, as well as the exact right munitions, depending on any nearby sensitive sights and civilians, versus the need to ensure that a wider area of terrorist targets are killed or destroyed.
Y explained how different kinds of infrastructure, flagged on his electronic map, can tip off IDF troops regarding tunnel locations. This can be a reference point for Y to communicate certain data to Nahal forces in the field in Gaza. Such information can be crucial both in terms of preliminary maneuvers and in terms of zoning in and taking out a target under Y’s approval.
For example, on Monday night IDF Spokesperson R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari mentioned that part of how the IDF traced connections between Hamas’s underground command center near Rantisi Hospital and the above-ground hospital itself, was following various wires that ran below ground.
At one point, mid-sentence, Y, switched from talking with the Post to forces in the field through his earpiece.
...Y said that on a daily basis there are regularly attacks, too numerous to keep a constant memory of, which he and others call off in order to avoid hitting nearby Palestinian civilians, to observe both basic morality and international law.
But flipping back to the other side, in the current war, he said that the IDF’s surveillance, tools, and targeting center capabilities are so vast, that usually adjusting an angle or waiting for another later point, enables IDF forces to eventually take out the Hamas target in question.
It may seem a tremendous waste - when a few FAE is what Gaza deserves. But, there are special rules - not applied to anyone else for the neighborhood bully. Also imagine such intelligence abilities applied against a regular army.
