Israel’s Emergency War Plan Moves Into High Gear

Zitat:Ich sehe das anders: ein Verteidigungskrieg gegen die Hisbollah ist zwingend notwendig und zwar sobald wie möglich.

Zitat:Wenn die USA und die Europäer einen solchen Beschluss nicht per Veto blockieren, hat der Westen keinerlei Zukunft und keine Chance mehr. Noch darüber hinaus ist ein Beschluss des Sicherheitsrates gegen einen Verteidigungskrieg nur wirksam, wenn der Sicherheitsrat die notwendigen Maßnahmen ergreift um den Gegner zu stoppen oder dieser aufgrund des Beschlusses selbst aufhört.

Zitat:Denn die Hisbollah wäre ja ganz genau so an einen solchen Beschluss gebunden. Da sie diesen aber nie einhalten wird, sondern weiter feuern wird...

Zitat: Ein Beschluss des Sicherheitsrates gilt als bindend (einen Automatismus bzgl. ...wird nur dann wirksam, wenn... gibt es so nicht), egal ob er sich auf einen Staat oder eine Konfliktpartei bezieht.

Zitat:2006 hat die Hisbollah den Sicherheitsratsbeschluss zur Feuereinstellung auch befolgt.

Zitat:Hinzu kommt, dass die Hisbollah als solche auch den Zwängen innerhalb des Libanon unterliegt, d. h. ein Krieg gegen Israel, der seitens der Hisbollah heraufbeschworen werden würde, wäre im Libanon selbst sehr unbeliebt. Und dies wiederum könnte die Basis der Hisbollah selbst und die Stabilität des Libanon massiv gefährden

Zitat:New details on Operation "Local Surgey" (the 18th of march Al Shifa raid):

So far, about 350 terrorists have been caught, whom intelligence can identify with certainty as Hamas and PIJ members. Most of them chose to turn themselves in and surrender. An entire corridor in Shifa is now being used as a temporary detention facility for the intelligence division and shin bet to interrogate terrorists, in order to quickly extract information from them.

From the investigation of the terrorists there is intelligence that is used almost immediately: a number of air force attacks in the last two days were carried out thanks to the intelligence that came from the terrorists in Shifa. An IDF official said "we're sitting on a goldmine of info". Mid level commanders were also arrested, but the most senior commander in the north of the Gaza strip, commander of the Gaza brigades Major General Ezz ad-Din Al-Hadad, is probably not in Shifa

Among the captured terrorists - Islamic Jihad terrorists who fired a rocket at Sderot in recent days. One of them told the interrogators: "we are a squad of the rocket formation, we left Shifa - we shot at Sderot - and returned to Shifa, because we understood that it was a safe area." The IDF estimates that the operation will be an influential factor in reducing rocket fire into the Gaza periphery

The forces seized a trove of Hamas intelligence and military archives that were concentrated in the hospital. Among other things, binders that Hamas stole from the Erez crossing on October 7 were found there, containing sensitive information of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories unit. Now the IDF is using the wealth of intelligence to understand what Hamas knew about us in recent months.

The IDF estimates that Hamas may have tried in recent months to re-dig and fix the system of underground tunnels under Shifa, but the assessment is that the system (which was destroyed a few months ago) does not allow terrorists to stay in the tunnels or escape. It can be estimated that as part of the operation, the IDF will work to ensure that the tunnels are still unusable.

The operation itself:

Shayetet 13 raided first and moved on top of fast APCs - and in only 15 minutes arrived from the departure point to the hospital gates without any opposition on the way. Dozens of terrorists testified in the investigations: "we were surprised, we did not think that the IDF would return to Shifa and at the very least we thought we would have enough of an advance warning time to escape in time." About 20 minutes after shayetet 13, the 401st Brigade joined in on tanks, Namers and D9s and completed a complete external encirclement of the hospital. The short length of time it took the forces to reach Shifa and the small scope of the forces show the operational freedom of action that was created in the field thanks to the main ground operation to take over gaza. A PIJ terrorist said in his interrogation: "I realized that Allah left me two choices - to surrender or die, and I chose to surrender."

7. During the period before the raid, the IDF created a number of trickery and deception moves to surprise the terrorists. IDF officials: "This raid will be taught about in military academies in the future"

Estimate: It will take a few more days to complete the operation. There are still a number of buildings left that the IDF has encircled but not entered and terrorists are probably barricading themselves in

Zitat:Ruf nach »sofortiger Feuerpause« im Gazastreifen – USA legen Uno-Resolutionsentwurf vor [...]

Die USA fordern eine »sofortige Feuerpause« im Gazastreifen. Nach Angaben von US-Außenminister Antony Blinken hat das Land dem Uno-Sicherheitsrat einen entsprechenden Resolutionsentwurf vorgelegt. »Wir haben tatsächlich eine Resolution vorgelegt, die jetzt dem Sicherheitsrat vorliegt, die eine sofortige Feuerpause verbunden mit der Freilassung der Geiseln fordert«, sagte Blinken am Mittwochabend dem saudi-arabischen Medium Al-Hadath. [...]

Die USA haben in der Vergangenheit bei mehreren Resolutionen, in denen sofortige Feuerpausen im Krieg zwischen Israel und der Hamas gefordert wurden, von ihrem Vetorecht Gebrauch gemacht. Der US-Außenminister war am Mittwoch mit dem saudi-arabischen Kronprinzen Mohammed bin Salman zusammengetroffen, am Donnerstag reist Blinken nach Kairo. Dort soll er den ägyptischen Präsidenten Abdel Fattah el-Sisi treffen.

Zitat:U.N. Security Council fails to pass U.S. resolution calling for immediate Gaza cease-fire

“This resolution is an opportunity for the Council to speak with one voice to support the diplomacy happening on the ground,” a U.S. spokesperson said ahead of the vote. [...]

A U.S.-led resolution calling for an immediate and sustained cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza failed to pass in the United Nations Security Council on Friday as Russia and China, who are permanent members, voted against the measure.

Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s ambassador to the U.N., said the resolution was exceedingly politicized and contained an effective green light for Israel to mount a military operation in Rafah. [...] This was the fourth attempt to pass any kind of cease-fire resolution at the council. U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield has vetoed three previous resolutions, in October, December, and again last month.

February's resolution tabled by Algeria received 13 votes of approval and one abstention from the United Kingdom. Russia and China were among those who criticized the U.S. for voting against the resolution for a third time.
