Can Israel Defeat Hamas, as International Pressure Mounts? Israel at War
On the sixth month of the Gaza War, there is growing doubt as to whether Israel can defeat the terror organization whose October 7 massacre catalysed a chain reaction.
The IDF is clearly superior to the 30,000 or so militia, structured in some 6 territorial brigades and 2 dozen battalions. But the limits on employment of Israeli combat power are becoming prohibitive, due to outside pressure, and there now appears a real chance that not all of Israel’s war aims will be achieved.
Is this emerging picture an accurate one, and if so, could it still be changed? With us for the discussion are:
