My analysis of the Campaign Against the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in #Gaza
1. The IDF clearly had a specific plan of action against PIJ & it's terrorist infrastructure.
2. The intelligence and precision of action until now are meritorious.
1/4
3. Based on the reports that mainly terrorists have been killed in the strikes I conclude that the IDF designated & implemented a zero / close to zero collateral policy
4. The greatest accomplishment currently is that #Hamas has stayed out of the operational playing felid.
2/4
5. The intelligence & operational success send a message to all of the enemies in the region. #Hamas, #Hezbollah, & #Iran will be studying IDF systematic activities.
6. PIJ is small with a relatively small arsenal of 5000+- rockets - Hamas & Hezbollah are NOT PIJ.
3/4
7. The continued rocket & mortar fire by the PIJ is a dangerous nuisance but curtailed by Iron Dome.
8. The main challenge for Israel is maintaining limited operational mistakes forcing Hamas to operate.
3/4
