While Zionist officials seek to deceive public opinion about the process of conflict with the resistance, the regime’s researchers and experts admit that Israel has made gross errors in its intelligence assessments.
According to Al-Mayadin, recent reports by Israeli experts and analysts on developments related to the conflict between the Palestinian resistance and the Zionists show that Israeli officials have failed to assess Hamas’s movements and capabilities, as well as to manage the war against public opinion, while Zionist officials have claimed that the Hamas movement has suffered so much that it wants the war to end as soon as possible, but the reality on the ground is something else.
Surprises of resistance for the Zionists
“Yaqub Amidrror,” the former chairman of the Zionist regime’s Internal Security Council, stated: There is no way to destroy Hamas without occupying Gaza; so while we are outside Gaza, we have to ask ourselves how to deal with Hamas and how to eliminate it.
In this regard, “Liraz Megrelite”, a researcher at the Strategic Institute in the center of Herzliya, published an article in the Zionist newspaper Ma’ariu: The feeling that the Israelis have had in recent days can only be described in one word; “Surprise”; Because these days the war has taken us by surprise and we were not prepared for it at all. As we prepared to return to a normal life after Corona, we had another shock and surprise.
He added: Since Monday night, every action of Hamas surprised Israel, and the questions that arise here are how Hamas surprised us and how the Israeli army was unaware of Hamas’ capabilities in recent years. But what should worry Israelis is not dry intelligence; rather, the most important problem that the Israelis now have, which has caused concern, is the inability to draw conclusions from the data and estimate Hamas’ goals.
The Zionist researcher added that someone in the Israeli army might claim to have been aware of the expansion of Hamas military capabilities in recent years, and that this claim may be true; but the point is that Israel made a mistake in predicting and evaluating Hamas behavior.
He emphasized: Our problem seems to be that Israeli officials have previously assessed that despite Hamas’ weapons capability in Gaza, Israeli deterrence remains high; while this was a miscalculation, Hamas has not only not shaken but also established its credibility.
Megrelian also referred to another Israeli defeat in the war: We know that in every war there is a double game; one is the reality of what is happening on earth, and the other is what is being told to the public and the people and Israel has not succeeded in it.
On the other hand, “Dana Fays”, a correspondent for the Zionist regime’s Channel 12 television, stated that at present, Israel’s military interests are overshadowed by the political interests of its decision-makers.
Scandal of the Zionist army in deceiving public opinion
The Zionist writer further referred to the deceptive maneuvers of the Zionist army, which are related to the lying of the spokesman of the Zionist army, who had announced that the Israeli army is about to launch a ground operation, but this time the army has really gone too far, and this would be a huge and damaging mistake for Israel in the international press, worse than it could be for the lives of foreign journalists in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli newspaper Ma’ariu also revealed that the Israeli army had been planning a maneuver of deception for many years; however, all these maneuvers of the army to start a ground war in Gaza at this stage could not deceive the elements of Hamas, and they did not trust this maneuver.
