The complexity of a war in Gaza and the unprecedented use of technology

Hillel Fuld He is considered a technical guru. Thanks to his extensive knowledge, he is also a business consultant and a leading marketing expert in the field. On his social networks, he defines himself as a “proud Jew” and mentions – and explains – what is happening in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. This Sunday marks a battle six months after a series of brutal attacks by a Palestinian terror group on Israeli soil.

The famous blogger knows the horrors of terrorism firsthand: in September 2018 His brother Ari, 40, was stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist Israelis and Palestinians from the area gather at the Kush Etzion junction, next to the entrance to the Harim shopping center.

In a detailed post on his social networking account He referred to the current armed struggle. He explained why the Israeli military is having such a difficult time defeating Hamas, but at the same time he declared that his country will achieve victory and that in the future it will “emerge as a world power in urban warfare in the 21st century.” .”

Regarding the difficulties Israeli troops overcame in this six-month conflict, Fuld said, it was not the army that changed, but the “The nature of war has changed.”

“Not only is Israel winning this war, it is becoming a world power in urban warfare. “In the future, all nations will look to Israel to learn how to wage war in the 21st century.”He estimated.

In that sense, he made it clear that the war waged by Israel is not a conventional war. “Battles have rules. Fighting rules. Some things cannot be done in war. There are war crimes. When both sides in a war play by the same rules, there can be a clear winner and a clear loser. Success is clearly defined.

However, he clarified: “Our enemy (Hamas) He has no restrictions or guidelines in this battle. There is nothing they cannot, will, or do.”

He remembered it that way Terrorist organization uses women and children as human shields in war; Establishes sites of operations in hospitals and daycare centers; and hiding weapons and ammunition even in children's rooms.

“They have their own rules and we don't play by their rules. They certainly don't play by ours,” he said.

He also mentioned the complex system of tunnels that Hamas has built to attack Israel. One that greatly complicates the operations of Israeli troops: “A friend who fights in Gaza told me that he cannot walk ten steps without entering a terrorist tunnel. “They've built a whole underground system bigger than the London Underground.”

He also pointed out that there is no battlefield in Gaza: “There is no separation between civilian buildings and military structures. “The battlefield here is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and Hamas's best weapon is its own people.”

In this context, he considered the war in the Palestinian territories to be like a game of chess, with the aim of minimizing civilian casualties and eliminating terrorists to a greater extent. Instead, the terrorists “are playing basketball, where the goal of the game is to increase civilian casualties so that the world can pressure Israel to withdraw and end the war.”

“IDF Soldiers in Gaza Face an Unprecedented Problem in the History of War”Fuld said.

And I add: “They cannot walk an inch without the threat of attack. They can be attacked from above with an RPG or sniper. They can attack from below with grenades and automatic weapons. They can be attacked by anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles from inside buildings. They can be attacked by entering a structure caught in a trap explosion. Also, remember that you can't shoot indiscriminately to clear the area before they enter. There may be civilians there.

As a good expert on the subject, he recognized it The scale of technology used in this war has never been seen before. He mentioned the use of drones as an example: “They have the potential to change the game. They can get into tight spaces, detect terrorists where humans can't, give the IDF a bird's-eye view of an area… In this kind of warfare, drones don't exist. The only problem is that no one knows how to increase the performance of drones without training.

“Robotics are used a lot in this war. And then there's infinity vision technology, some of which has been developed by Israeli startups. There is technology that can see through walls. “There is technology that can be seen around corners,” he added.

Fuld said what the Israeli military has achieved so far is “not only incredible, but without historical precedent.”

Commenting on the genocide allegations and death tolls released by Hamas, he said, “Everyone is lying that Israel is committing genocide or killing indiscriminately, but when this war is over and the real figures are exposed, the whole world will be shocked. Israel won the war with minimal casualties on its side and the total destruction of a terrorist organization that had spent decades preparing for war.

“The IDF is not weaker than in the past. They learn how to fight an impossible war, win, and keep their side with historically low casualties. There is no country or army that can teach Israel how to win this war. “It's never been done before,” he concluded.
