What were the IDF’s goals ahead of the invasion – The clearance of Gaza and the special vehicles used – The message sent with a specific brigade
The terrain for the major ground operation in Gaza the israeli army is “decreasing”.
As reported by SKAI military analyst Yannis Paliouras, the Israelis entered on Wednesday from a direction unusual and unexpected. It was an invasion from the North, right in front of Gaza City, not from the narrow part of it.
According to estimates, the Israelis are not only targeting Gaza City, they want it first to avoid the urban fabric and will move along the coast, in an area that is not so populated, and reach Al Sati the refugee camp on the coast, from where it is estimated that virtually all of Gaza’s lodges start. And this, because next to Al Sati is the sea. Any occupation of stabilizing and moving large pumps to that point, means they have an unlimited supply of water to flood the Gaza Strip in the first phase of the operation; thus driving Hamas to the surface. The IDF believes that the Hamas network starts there, and it may to flood the entire Hamas network from the sea.
At the same time, the terrain of the invasion, the corridors, is being formed. First we saw the huge D9 armored bulldozers, the “mobile fortresses”, which even predated tanks. They opened the corridors, removed whatever obstacles there were and marked the corridors through which the next units will pass. Regarding minefields and mine traps, the Puma mine-clearing vehicle was sent.
He then took over the business the Givati ​​Brigade, and not by chance. This particular unit stationed inside Gaza until 2005. The IDF’s message was clear: Givati ​​is returning to Gaza.
“Additional stages” of the war against Hamas are coming
Defense Minister Yoav Gallad vowed Thursday that Israel would win the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and will return to their homes more than 200 hostages held by the terrorist group.
“This is a war for our home and we will win it. It’s us or them,” clarified. “We are in decisive momentss. This is a war against small children, women and Holocaust survivors. We will win this war,” the Israeli minister said.
“I saw soldiers falling in battle, and divisional commanders leading the battles,” Galland said, referring to the Oct. 7 attack and the fighting with Hamas in the following days. “Additional stages will come at the war, we are preparing them and we will make them happen. I am determined to bring us victory,” he pointed out.
