The reason why the Jihad hasn’t fired yet is that they are looking for a “value” target or a surprise effect
When Hamas and Islamic Jihad use and abuse psychological warfare. And score points. Without speaking of operational success, the simple fact of blockading an entire region of Israel and putting the political and military staff on alert already constitutes a victory. And the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip have obviously learned well from the big brother in the north.
For several years now, Hezbollah has been playing on the nerves of the Israeli army and the residents of the border. With each threat from its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, the entire border region is brought to a standstill. A terrorist operation by Hamas and Islamic Jihad is not a question of if, but when. When they will have the opportunity to hurt and make an impression.
The reason has not yet fired when everyone was expecting them is that he is looking for a “values” target or a surprise effect. From Gaza, we can cite explosive drone attacks, infiltration from the sea, or tunnels along the security barrier to attract soldiers close to the underground obstacle, sniper fire or anti-tank missiles against a patrol military.
Another scenario: automatic weapon fire. The Islamic Jihad confirmed, moreover, this night, that two of its men were neutralized by paratrooper infantry commandos in Kabatya, near Jenin, after opening fire. Not to mention the use of explosives, even suicide attacks, as at the height of the second Intifada.
By hitting executives of the Islamic Jihad, Israel has certainly scored points in this game of chess. Except that, since then, anti-aircraft defense units, intelligence, special operations are all on alert and ready for the worst-case scenario. The question is the strategic leeway of the Israeli security apparatus. Should he wait, continue to say that “the ball is in the other camp” like the spokesman of the Tsahal, Brigadier General Daniel Hagari? Or get ahead of the evil by launching other targeted eliminations, even if it means triggering a major, multidimensional conflict.
