Zionists Reluctant to Launch Gaza Ground Attack over Hezbollah Fear

The hesitation is palpable in Zionist media and circles, as there have also been warnings about canceling it.

Despite issuing repeated threats of a ground assault on Gaza, the Zionists are striving to tactfully evade such a scenario and have executed a media strategy to this end. Recent reports suggest that they acquiesced to the United States' request for postponing the Gaza ground attack. Hebrew media and Zionist circles have conveyed the profound apprehension among Israeli leaders regarding any potential ground operation in Gaza.

Possibility of Cancelation of Ground Attack on Gaza

There have been reports in Zionist media about the army's preparations for a ground operation. However, concerns within the army persist that Israeli political authorities may entirely scrap the Gaza ground attack. Some Israeli army officials hold the belief that a ground assault on the Gaza Strip would yield severe consequences, even though it seems inevitable, with the potential for the ground war with Gaza lasting anywhere from two weeks to as long as six months.

In this context, the Zionist Kan network has made an announcement about the army's preparations for ground operations. Nevertheless, the operation's commencement awaits the issuance of a green light, and there are warnings that the recurring delays in a ground attack on Gaza could diminish the motivation of military and reserve forces.

Netanyahu is hesitant about a ground attack on Gaza

Alon Ben David, a military analyst on Channel 13 of the Zionist regime, said that both military officials and army members share the belief that Benjamin Netanyahu is showing reluctance toward a ground invasion of Gaza. Netanyahu's concern primarily stems from the notion that once the ground attack commences, the operation's control will shift to the war minister and the chief of staff of the Israeli army. Consequently, he would lose control over the situation and military operations.

In addition, other reports from Hebrew media outlets have underscored the hesitancy among Israeli political leaders regarding entry into Gaza, particularly following the recent admission by the Israeli army that some of its forces were killed and injured in an ambush by the al-Qassam Brigades near the Kissufim base, occurring as they crossed the fence in eastern Khan Yunis.

Fear of War with Hezbollah

Another significant concern among Zionists when considering a ground attack on Gaza pertains to the potential opening of a northern front by Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth has reported on this issue, emphasizing Netanyahu's hesitance to proceed with a Gaza ground attack due to the fear of simultaneous conflict on both the southern and northern fronts.

The Zionist media outlet has additionally noted that Hezbollah's involvement could effectively keep Israel engaged indefinitely, resulting in a significantly heavier cost for Israel compared to Hezbollah.

Yedioth Ahronoth continues to report a substantial crisis of trust between Netanyahu and the Israeli army. This situation persists three weeks after the attack on Israel (Al-Aqsa Storm operation), leaving everyone involved in a challenging predicament. Netanyahu's growing frustration with the military has made the decision to pursue a ground attack a highly difficult one for him.

Escalating Tensions with Hezbollah

Meanwhile, the English Telegraph newspaper has reported that the conflict with Hezbollah on the Lebanon border is complicating Israel's Gaza ground attack plan. Israel's decision to postpone the ground attack on Gaza is primarily due to the complex situation along the northern borders, where tensions with Hezbollah are escalating.

Channel 14 of the Zionist regime's television network also disclosed, citing unidentified officials, that the heightened clashes along the Lebanese border make entering Gaza ill-advised. Israel must carefully assess the situation and make numerous calculations before considering any action, as the potential costs are substantial.

Israel's Inability to Defend Itself

The Hebrew newspaper Jerusalem Post, in an analytical report titled "Why the Ground Attack on Gaza is Delayed," highlights the Zionist regime's concerns about the prospect of opening a war front with Hezbollah. According to the newspaper, this delay in Israel's ground attack on Gaza is due to the growing apprehension of a conflict with Hezbollah, as the Lebanese resistance group awaits the right moment to open a northern front against Israel.

Zvi Hauser, the former head of the foreign relations and security committee of the Zionist regime, has also voiced the view that Israel has lost its capacity to defend itself, leading to increased American involvement in the current war.
