IDF report said to find Israel made ‘every possible mistake’ in recent Gaza offensive

1. A classified IDF document circulated within the military has concluded that Operation “Gideon’s Chariots” — the army’s name for the major offensive that was launched against Hamas in May and ended last month — failed to meet its core objectives, a report said Sunday.

   The document, partially published by Channel 12 news, firmly asserts that the operation did not succeed in either of its goals — to topple Hamas and free the hostages.

   It accuses the army of acting “contrary to its own military doctrine” by supplying the enemy [Hamas] with resources through humanitarian aid, failing to impose time pressure, mismanaging resources, and ultimately exhausting its own forces while eroding international support.

   So what’s the plan….try it again? I don’t understand what’s Israel’s endgame here

3. More IDF leaks. Impressive that Bibi has managed to piss off military leadership to the point they’re actively briefing against him. ~~Emal Zamir was handpicked to be a loyal stooge.~~ -Apparently no he was not. Apologies to Zamir for the libel.

4. People outside Israel need to understand how much the army doesn’t want to occupy Gaza.

   If you speak to any soldier that served in Gaza before 2005 they’ll tell you how ridiculous it was that there’d be 400/500 soldiers guarding a a community of 200 people. Or you’d have soldiers literally being shot at from all angles in ambushes.

   So the letter is saying that they were too kind?

   I really expected something more akin to an intelligence failure being called out or something in the complete opposite direction

6. Once they’ve completed their ethnic cleansing and genocide, they’ll spend a year or two with a polished pr apology campaign tour with support from the US, UK, Germany and will donate to charity and all will be forgiven. We’re sorry but we had to protect ourselves, it was Hamas’ fault but we admit we went a little too far

7. “mistake”
