Analysis: Why is Israel’s military reinvading Gaza’s Bureij camp?
Omar Ashour, a professor of security and military studies at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, says the Israeli military’s reinvasion of Bureij camp – an area it has repeatedly claimed to have cleared of Hamas fighters – could show either a military or intelligence failure.
“It’s one of two things: either the strategy is not functioning … or they have bad intelligence on what’s going on”, Ashour told Al Jazeera.
A third possibility, he added, is that the military is attempting to build up another strategic “strong point” in central Gaza, disrupting mobility in the area and providing a launching pad for future targeted raids.
However, operations in densely populated areas, he said, end up killing “a lot of civilians”, even without achieving the government’s objectives.
