Israel blew it by taking eight days. That’s an inordinate time to wait for some oil lamps to burn out, but way too long for a war with Hamas. It must start and end within six hours.
You have to build up to the North, so they point all their guns and missiles that way, and paste their human shields on them facing in that direction.
Then you have to swing to both flanks, sort of like the swing door maneuver used by the Union on Little Round Top at Gettysberg, only on both flanks instead of just one.
By land from the East, through the dessert.
By sea from the West.
This takes advantage of the fact that Ghaza is merely a strip, highly vulnerable on the flanks. What possessed the IDF to try a frontal assault from the North in 2008 is beyond me.
Join hands in the South
To cut off supplies from the smuggling tunnels.
Then you’re winning the six hour war.
The UN won’t have time to say squat. This can all be done on a Sunday morning, while the Western hemisphere is still sleeping, along with the UN, the Media, The Wun, and the hollywierdos. When they finally awaken, it’ll be too late to do anything or say anything. Remember, there is a seven-hour time difference between the East Coast and Israel in Israel’s favor, nine from the Left Coast. We should use that.
Well stated military maneuver, of course, we are not privy to all the military tactics the IDF has on the table. A six (6) hour war would certainly put a dent in much of the terrorist in Gaza and the United States of America before they could act in response or retaliate around the world.
