Reader comment on item: IDF Racing to Restructure Itself for New Middle East Warfare

Submitted by Rich Roth, Feb 23, 2016 18:18

I think Israel is going to have to face a very hostile border to the North East very soon. Hizballah may well corridnate with other militants in the area, if only by timing attacks to get the most out of them. In the end Hamas and Hizballah have to many sectarian differences to truly work together, but a stick in the eye by one is a help to all.

Hamas has limited weapons capability, but does know the old IDF playbook pretty well. Hizballah has the weapons, but have to deliver any attack thru stand off points. Unless they can get the IDF to commit to moving into their strongly held areas, prior to a proper hammering by bombs from planes and tanks, they will run low on good weapons quickly.

I do not think Egypt will mount an attack, but some of their commands are still controlled by the M Brotherhood, and they may launch short lived attacks, which could divert IDF resources.

All in all we all need to constantly re-evaluate our ways of warfare to meet these new threats.
