The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are already at the limit of their capabilities, writes Vice with reference to sources.
As the publication reports, citing According to Israeli officials, a potential operation in the Gaza Strip would take months and require a large military presence. Amid considerable Palestinian discontent in the West Bank, the IDF is already stretched to the limit, according to US and Israeli military officials.
According to an Israeli military source, the Jewish state currently has one and a half fronts, which is one for the reasons why the attack by the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) was so successful. “Soldiers who were supposed to be out of Gaza were in the West Bank to defend the settlements and chase the children who were throwing stones in Jenin,” he shared his opinion. In his opinion, the situation in the West Bank could suddenly worsen even more.
On the contrary, the American representative pointed out that the strategic initiative currently belongs to the Lebanese movement Hezbollah. Israel is forced to respond to the attacks from Gaza, the situation in the West Bank and the likely actions of Hezbollah and Iran, noted the publication's spokesperson.
