The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth highlighted the dilemma he faces Israeli army In the wake of the announcement of the new mechanism for distributing aid to the Palestinians, which includes direct supervision of its distribution through specific centers within the Gaza Strip.
Amid the escalating accusations of the starvation of Gaza residents, the Israeli army is involved in a non -combat mission represented in protecting the aid centers and securing the ways to distribute them to the residents of Gaza, in addition to allowing dozens of trucks to reach the northern Gaza Strip in light of the failure to establish distribution centers there so far.
The report prepared by the military analyst, Yoav Zaitoun, says this task exacerbates the problem of confronting the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation) Who still “has an active battalion operating from Khan Yunis even Gaza City Agency “.
Zaytoun quotes Israeli army leaders their recognition that the shooting used “to control the large crowds” in front of the aid distribution centers led to the “killing of Palestinians” who were seeking to obtain food, which sparked a wave of international criticism and deepened pressure on the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which faces accusations of feeding a humanitarian catastrophe.
The Relief and Works Agency was the refugee (UNRWAShe emphasized that at least 400 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the implementation of the mechanism of distributing Israeli -American aid about a month ago, while the Palestinian government in Gaza and humanitarian relief organizations confirm that the occupation supports gangs that seize aid trucks heading to northern Gaza.
The IDF dilemma
According to the Zaitoun report, the Israeli soldiers are charged with securing roads for hundreds of trucks that carry food, fuel and gas, especially in the north. Gaza Strip It finally returned about 800,000 Palestinians. However, these operations collide with a wave of looting that are shown by the recently spread videos, which exacerbates the international pressure on the Israeli government, while on the other hand, it raises criticism of the right -wing circles, which accuses the Netanyahu government of supporting Hamas’s rehabilitation indirectly by introducing aid.
Last week, Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz called for preparing an alternative plan to deliver aid to northern Gaza without falling into the hands of Hamas, as he claimed, but the report quotes the Israeli security establishment its anger and confirmation that such alternative plans are already raised for weeks at the decision maker.
Zaytoun reveals that these plans include, among other things, the establishment of new distribution centers for foodstuffs in other areas of the sector, but the security establishment has made it clear to the political leadership that there is also no alternative to the continued flow of aid through trucks, because of its humanitarian and security importance.
The report talks about the difficulties faced by the Israeli army, because it only can secure aid truck from the air, as the army forces cannot attend at every crossroads in Gaza, but rather talks about the dilemma of the lack of forces on the ground, and says, “In the war with Iran We transferred a brigade that was working in a town near The northern Gaza Strip To strengthen other sectors, thousands of Palestinians, including Hamas activists, entered immediately to this vacuum. “
According to the report, the food distribution centers in the southern Gaza Strip, in which Israeli soldiers were supposed to participate in the field, as previously pledged to the political level, have become daily dependent on hundreds of soldiers to protect distribution operations and organize huge crowds that sometimes reach 50 thousand Palestinians long hours before the opening of the centers.
Aid students killed
Here, the report admits that aid applicants who exceed the red line that planned them in aid centers are exposed to what he called “warning fire”, the report says, quoting Israeli officers, that it is “not always accurate”, which is considered a justification for intentional Israeli forces Shooting United Nations And the Palestinian government in Gaza.
Therefore, the report claims that “some Palestinians are trying to approach tanks and armored soldiers’ carriers carrying empty food utensils with the aim of photographing provocative scenes, including children who are not known whether they are innocent or assigned to tasks by Hamas, such as testing the reaction of the forces or carrying out possible attacks!”
But the military analyst quotes army officers that these enormous logistical tasks drain the Israeli army and keep it away from its original military tasks, and they indicated that a whole companies are busy with protecting the food distribution centers, instead of carrying out offensive operations against Hamas’s goals, which still have martial combat capabilities in Gaza, despite the passage of about 21 months since the start of the war of genocide.
He adds, “The leaders who are fighting on the ground bear witness to the continued presence of the active and associated battalions in the Gaza Strip, from Khan Yunis To Gaza City and its surroundings.
The report indicates that the 98th Division of the Israeli Army, which was recently withdrawn from the Gaza Strip in anticipation of the possibility of escalation with Iran, is preparing to return to the Strip again, pending a political decision on the next stage, as it is taught in Israel Decisive options, including moving towards a captive exchange deal that leads to a long -term ceasefire, or continuing land fighting against agitation Even achieving wider goals.
