“Citizens of Israel, we are at war. And we will win it,” declared this Saturday, October 7, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, hours after Hamas launched a surprise operation called “Al Aqsa Flood”, firing thousands of rockets against several Israeli cities and controlling numerous Israeli settlements in the Gaza area. In that sense, while Netanyahu promised on television that Israel would take a “powerful revenge” and called on all residents of Gaza, a Palestinian territory controlled by Hamas, to leave their homes Immediately, the Islamic resistance movement explained that its activities constitute a response to the attacks against Muslim worshipers by Israeli forces in the Al Aqsa mosque, perpetrated during the first months of 2023. This escalation in the conflict is the result of a overwhelming failure of Israel’s security apparatus, the experts consulted told Sputnik, describing it as the worst in half a century, since the surprise attack launched by Egypt and Syria against Israel in 1973, in what was called the Yom Kippur War Former general Meir Elran, senior researcher and head of security programs at the same institute, agrees with this analysis, adding that the failure is even more serious considering that this is not the first time that Israel has suffered a surprise attack. on a large scale in its history. In this regard, Dr. Michael maintained that he believed that Hamas took advantage of what it could have perceived as a distracted Israeli Government, immersed in a political fight due to the resistance that the project of Netanyahu’s judicial reform and that has generated citizen protests throughout 2023. However, the analyst told Sputnik that he does not believe that this evaluation of the failure of the security apparatus should also include the Iron Dome, the mobile system designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery projectiles launched from a distance of four to 70 kilometers, which the State of Israel began to use since 2011. “More than 95% of the rockets that targeted populated areas or buildings or facilities were able be intercepted. We are talking about almost 3,000 missiles, but most of them did not hit anything,” he specifies. “We have to understand that the Iron Dome is a very sophisticated system and intercepts only the rockets that the system detects when they are going to fall on populated areas. . And if the system thinks that the rocket is going to fall in an open area, then there is no interception,” explains the expert. For Elran, this escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas will represent a regional turning point. “Unfortunately, the various attempts to stabilize the region have failed, and now we will see the emergence of even new elements that will hinder peace. I’m very sorry, but I think what’s coming will be very serious,” he concluded.

The Israeli Defense Forces and its Intelligence services, in close contact with the United States, its main economic sponsor, were inefficient when they were surprised by the attacks of the Palestinian Hamas movement, experts said in dialogue with Sputnik.
“Citizens of Israel, we are at war. And we will win it,” declared this Saturday, October 7, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, hours after Hamas launched a surprise operation called “Al Aqsa Flood”, firing thousands of rockets against several Israeli cities and controlling numerous Israeli settlements in the Gaza area. The conflict “has no solution by force”: Russia calls Israel and Palestine to a ceasefireIn that sense, while Netanyahu promised on television that Israel would take a “powerful revenge ” and called on all residents of Gaza, a Palestinian territory controlled by Hamas, to leave their homes immediately, the Islamic resistance movement explained that its activities constitute a response to the attacks against Muslim worshipers by Israeli forces at the Al Mosque Aqsa, perpetrated during the first months of 2023. This escalation in the conflict is the result of a conclusive failure of Israel’s security apparatus, the experts consulted told Sputnik, describing it as the worst in half a century, since the surprise attack launched by Egypt and Syria against Israel in 1973, in what was called the Yom Kippur War.
“Clearly, this is not something spontaneous. It is an operation planned for a long time. Unfortunately, Israel could not anticipate it, which is a failure of both intelligence and the Defense Forces,” Dr. Kobi told Sputnik. Michael, senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University and former deputy director general and head of the Palestinian office of the Ministry of Strategic Affairs.
Former general Meir Elran, senior researcher and head of security programs at the same institute, agrees with that analysis, adding that the failure is even more serious considering that this is not the first time that Israel has suffered a surprise attack on large scale in its history.
“We were not prepared for such a situation, which is a hard blow to our security apparatus, but it must be admitted. This will, of course, require a very serious investigation into how it could have happened, especially so that lessons are learned to that it doesn’t happen again,” said the former commander.
In this regard, Dr. Michael maintained that he believed that Hamas took advantage of what it could have perceived as a distracted Israeli Government, immersed in a political fight due to the resistance that Netanyahu’s judicial reform project provoked in society and that has generated citizen protests throughout 2023.
However, the analyst told Sputnik that he does not believe that this evaluation of the failure of the security apparatus should also include the Iron Dome, the mobile system designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery projectiles launched from a distance of four to 70 kilometers, which the State of Israel began to use since 2011.

“More than 95% of the rockets aimed at populated areas or buildings or facilities could be intercepted. We are talking about almost 3,000 missiles, but most of them did not hit anything,” he specifies.
“We have to understand that the Iron Dome is a very sophisticated system and it intercepts only rockets that the system detects when they are going to fall on populated areas. And if the system thinks that the rocket is going to fall in an open area, then there is no interception,” explains the expert.
For Elran, this escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas will represent a regional turning point.
“I have no doubt that the Israeli response will be fierce, and it will be bad for everyone, but especially for the Palestinians. Because I believe that the Israeli counteroffensive will be long and very damaging,” the expert predicted, stating that the Middle East could “explode” due to instability. that the increase in hostilities will bring.
“Unfortunately, the various attempts to stabilize the region have failed, and now we will see the emergence of even new elements that will hinder peace. I am very sorry, but I believe that what is to come will be very serious,” he concluded.
