intensified distrust toward Israeli military as 60,000 reinforcements mobilized for Gaza campaign
In a significant development, the Israeli Security Cabinet has given the go-ahead for the occupation of Gaza City, scheduled for August 8. This decision comes amidst ongoing conflict in the region.
The Israeli military has mobilised a substantial force for this operation, with approximately 60,000 reservists called up to duty. Thousands more are expected to report as the operation unfolds.
The plan, which involves moving approximately one million Palestinians south in the first phase, has sparked concerns about the potential humanitarian impact.
The Israeli military is preparing for a siege and intensive attacks before the occupation, aiming to secure control of Gaza City. However, there are concerns within the ranks about the objectives of the conflict and the government's stated goals of defeating Hamas and returning captives.
Some reservists have served for hundreds of days in the conflict, but a significant number express doubts and concerns about the operation. One reservist described the military as "completely scattered," while another expressed concerns about the Israeli military's plan to hide exact figures and manipulate data to make non-participation seem insignificant.
The military is also grappling with trust problems between the military structure and the government, which have infiltrated the army ranks. This, coupled with low participation rates due to a crisis of confidence in the government, presents a challenge for the operation.
In addition to the focus on Gaza City, a significant portion of the reservists will be deployed to the West Bank and northern Israel regions. The second phase of the plan includes occupying refugee camps in Gaza City's center, where many have been largely reduced to rubble.
The Likud party has held a significant influence over the selection of reservists for military operations in the Gaza Strip in recent years. However, the ongoing conflict and the concerns within the ranks have led to a complex and challenging situation for the Israeli military.
As the August 8 deadline approaches, the focus remains on the operation to occupy Gaza City and the impact it will have on the region and the people involved.
