Reassuring the Zionist public opinion in the inflamed atmosphere of the 74th anniversary of the existence of the Israeli regime has become a crisis for the security and military circles.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency International Group, Since March 22, Israel has been in a precarious security situation due to a series of Palestinian martyrdom operations launched in Beersheba, so it seeks to strengthen its security measures. Their military presence inside the occupied West Bank has reached such a level that it has become common to see Israeli soldiers in military uniform inside Israeli cities. All of this is aimed at restoring confidence in Israeli public opinion in the ability of the security and military institutions to provide security.
Given the current climate of insecurity for Israelis, the 74th anniversary of the founding of Israel has come, which is the most important occasion on the Israeli domestic agenda, which has mobilized all its tools to hold the event this year. Among the events of this ceremony are military parades, celebrations honoring Israeli army soldiers and highlighting their power at the diplomatic level through numerous video greetings from the leaders of the world’s major powers, as well as congratulations from the Arab compromising countries, all of which are directly covered by the Zionist media to convey the image of Israeli power and control.
During the ceremony, which was full of reassuring messages to settlers, the two Palestinians axed Israeli security measures with their axes, ignoring security warnings. It was natural, then, for Israel to seek to escape this sense of insecurity by venting its hatred of the Palestinians and restoring confidence in the settlers, in view of what it called the “Palestinian Martyrdom Operation Syndrome” in recent times. Therefore, the following limited options remain for this purpose.
The first option is the West Bank
There is no prominent Palestinian figure in the West Bank who can be assassinated or arrested by Israel to pretend to the public that an important security measure has been taken.
Even if the Jenin refugee camp is attacked as a major military operation, it will not be able to bear the political consequences and human damage. In addition, this operation will not help prevent the Palestinian martyrdom operation, because most of these operations are individual and have nothing to do with organizational groups. Although the Al-Aad commando operation was carried out from the Jenin area, Tel Aviv will not stop its plans for Jenin after two martyrdom operations by Zia Hamaresh and Raad Hazem, according to the Israeli security services.

Option 2: Lands of the year 48
The complexities of the occupied territories of 1948 for Israel are much greater in this area. A major military operation led by Naftali Bennett would mean the overthrow of the Israeli cabinet because the cabinet’s Arab allies could not resist Palestinian protests, so they would be forced to retreat. On the other hand, the scope of Palestinian participation in anti-cabinet activities in the region has recently increased.
The third option is to return to the policy of terror in Gaza
The assassination of Hamas leader Yahya Sanwar in Gaza is an important achievement for Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett that even former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could not carry out. Gaza remains an unresolved issue for Israel’s strategy. Military and political institutions believe that if the Israeli army succeeds in assassinating silently or even openly a Palestinian resistance figure, it can make great strides in restoring the settlers’ trust.
However, Israel knows that the cost of assassinating any resistance leader is an immediate war that will complicate Israel’s security situation, and that Israel’s internal front will not be able to cope with the consequences of this war at this time.
The situation of the internal crisis and the Israeli media is intensifying to the point that it is pushing the political and security levels to the option of returning to terror in the Gaza Strip, even at the cost of war. Because the policy of isolating all Palestinians in the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Occupied Territories in 1948 through Gaza’s economic and subsistence strategy failed, the biggest dimension of which was the Battle of the Sword of Jerusalem, in which Gaza inadvertently entered the war.
Therefore, some Israeli officials believe that the continuation of the containment policy will not be of any benefit to Israel. The tense situation in the West Bank, Jerusalem and the territories of 1948 forced Israel to raise the slogan (Gaza will not enjoy peace unless Tel Aviv is safe). These assassinations are rooted in the Israeli Talmudic mentality and are the basis of the Israeli ideological and security system of revenge.
According to Al-Mayadin, on the other hand, there is a more realistic trend inside Israel, the main source of which is the security and military institutions, which, based on the information and assessments at their disposal, realize that any confrontation with Gaza in this period with the escalation of tensions in Al-Aqsa Mosque, it will give the Palestinians another chance to strengthen the unity of their fronts. In addition, it puts Israel in a position of war on all fronts at the same time.
This situation shows that Israel and its security and military system are in real challenge, and that Al-Aad operation will have strategic effects on the Israeli cabinet and military institution in critical times and security conditions. In addition, it affects the nature of the Zionist project. Even after 74 years of occupying Palestinian land, the Israelis are still looking for options and ways to secure themselves and their settlements that have not yet succeeded.
