Israel’s military strategy not working in Gaza: Analysis

Omar Ashour, of the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, says Israel’s military strategy is to reoccupy parts of Gaza, including a 1km (0.62 miles) wide buffer zone between Gaza and Israel – the Netzarim Corridor – which divides Gaza into northern and southern sections, and positions along the Salah al-Din Street to divide Gaza into east and west.
“It also wants to refortify them to make strong positions and then carry out intelligence-led raids that aim to degrade and destroy Hamas cells and other military formations,” he told Al Jazeera.
“Then after that when forces get tired, redeploy and continue and repeat again.
“But this is not working as we saw in Jabalia refugee camp. This military strategy created more and more civilian deaths leading to more international pressure on the Netanyahu government.”
Ashour also said that the Israeli military has probably not achieved its military objectives in Rafah as well.
