Israel resolute to crush all buildings, if necessary, to polish off Hamas

How can a war be won? Can it be done by the most severe application of violence only? Or is there the need of more apt strategies? Research and analysis by the experts suggest that the first seed of victory can be attained whenever the civilian population is made terrified. A petrified civilian population exerts a great pressure on the respective government to end the fierce fight or armed contest straight away and this chapter becomes evident when the civilian bastions become easy preys of deadly attacks. This is an age-old strategy but becomes successful at the time of each application. Israel is doing the same.

Though the present conflict between Israel and Hamas originated from the latter’s hurling of rockets on Israeli stronghold, it is clear that Israel is creating a psychological warfare or war of nerves through destroying buildings. It’s true that the entire Gaza Strip due to the geographical formation is complicated and as a coastal strip of land along the Mediterranean Sea bordering Egypt on the south-west and Israel on the north and east, it can flummox any individual. But this scenario can’t even justify the unprecedented Israeli attacks against civilian buildings. This is a part of their strategy to make general Palestinians panicked and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s bid to warn Islamic militants of an "iron fist" till they come to terms with is a direct advocacy of this.

If you are interested to witness the true intensity of attacks, you should remain in Gaza City where the sound of the forward march of the Israeli forces, backed by artillery and attack helicopters, and of crumbling buildings can be heard from before dawn. It has been learnt that the Israeli tanks rolled into public areas of the Tel Hawwa neighborhood and even the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians living in apartment buildings in the neighborhood south of Gaza City are extremely scared. According to the observers and also victims, Israel is resolute to make Hamas kowtow before itself

Will it ever happen? There is the clash of civilizations between Israel and Hamas. If not, there will hardly be any building in the Gaza City. Who will take the blame then?
