IDF on Stand-By as Fatah and Hamas Clash
Commentary;
Israel is concerned about Fatah, Hamas violence spilling over into Israel. There is also great concern about the terrorists’ massive weapon stockpiling, weapons smuggling, improved Kassam rockets, with upgraded accuracy and more powerful warheads, networks of tunnels and Lebanon-style bunkers and Fatah, Hamas preparations for a Hezbollah-style war.
But the bottom-line is, has the government of Israel and the IDF absorbed and internalized all of the lessons of the failed Lebanon action? Can the same incompetents; Olmert, Peretz, Livni who failed in Lebanon actuate the lessons with integrity in a sustained, purposeful, successful action in Gaza? Or will we see, in the end, more 3rd party, peacekeeping forces and an Israel which strips herself of any ability to defend and secure the nation? MB
