The official IDF blog (Israel Defense Forces) returns online and does so in one of the most delicate moments in Israel's entire history.
Never before has Israel appeared as a country under siege. Suffice it to say that since the beginning of the year, Gaza terrorists have launched over 450 rockets. Situation totally unacceptable and operation "Protective Edge" started a few hours ago.
The position of the international community that officially condemns the episodes is surprising (but not that much in reality), but prefers to stand by and watch.
It would be correct to say that many wars have been conducted in total anonymity with history books that will not mention anything. Because if on the one hand there is no unanimous condemnation of the attacks, on the other it seems obvious that the USA and England are contributing (for years) to the armed resistance of Israel, supplying equipment of last generation.
Clearly helping the Israelis establishes the certainty of becoming the target of tomorrow's terrorists, but it is also correct to say that the "buffer" of Israel cannot fall into enemy hands. Beyond the territorial controversies and the political profile of belonging, Israel plays a crucial role for the West, representing an advanced armed outpost in an unstable and historically unreliable geopolitical context.
Israel is essential for NATO and the US. Exasperating this concept even more, we could say that Israel is far more useful to the Western cause than it is in the war against those who have sworn the obliteration of Jews from the face of the earth.
From the "Cloud Column" operation, which took place between the 14 and the 21 November of the 2012, Hamas continued to arm itself and according to an estimate of the Israeli secret services, it would have ten thousand rockets. Hamas to protect its makeshift launchers, uses the Palestinians as human shields.
Over 3,5 million Israelis currently live under the threat of missile attacks. No nation - the army commented - would have accepted this reality.
From around 48 hours, Israeli news agencies have drafted a real program of attacks.
Here is an example. 8 Tuesday July, 01 hours: 30: The IDF starts the "Protective Edge" operation. The goal is to hit all terrorist sites along the Gaza Strip. The terrorist organization Hamas is held responsible for all attacks from Gaza.
Monday, 7 July 80 rockets launched against Israel throughout the day ...... 21 Hours: 01 Rocket launch imminent, red code ...
