Last war did not handle Hamas rockets: Israeli sources
RAMALLAH, Palestine (North Press) – On Saturday, Israeli military sources expressed their belief that striking the rocket system in the Gaza Strip was not sufficient to make an achievement.
Hundreds of launchers and cells operating them in the Gaza Strip were bombed, “but, more qualitative and effective solutions had to be found,” the sources said.
The sources believed, the military operation in the Gaza Strip, which Israel called the “Guardian of the walls”, must lead to a change in the methods of the Israeli army work in the Strip in order to maintain calm and deterrence for a long time.
4,360 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip during the 11 days of the war, 3,400 of which landed in Israel, according to military specialists.
In addition to the events in the al-Aqsa Mosque, Bab al-Amud and Sheikh Jarrah, and the cancellation of the Palestinian elections, the slight difference that Yahya Sinwar won in the leadership of Hamas in the Strip, which led him to prove that he leads the line of what is described as “resistance, was the background to the escalation with Hamas, the Israeli military sources suggested.
They indicated that the death toll within the ranks of Hamas may increase with the removal of the bodies of those killed in the operation against the tunnels in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli sources also praised the work of the underground barrier surrounding the Strip, where 10 attack tunnels were thwarted because of them.
