What are Israel's plans for Gaza? - Analysis
Israel will start a new tactic in the fight with Hamas, that is, a war of exhaustion of the enemy's resources. A war that will last for years.
After Israel realized that it was failing and that it could not defeat Hamas in a guerilla fight without losing half its army, the Israeli leadership made drastic changes in its plans to defeat Hamas.
A month ago the IDF began withdrawing from northern Gaza despite the fact that Hamas had not yet been defeated and heavy fighting was still taking place. After a few weeks, Hamas again began to take back under its control the territories that the Israeli army had abandoned.
The IDF's announced plan to seize to capture Khan Yunis also appears to have failed, after Israeli media reported today that the IDF is beginning to withdraw its battalions from there as well.
While the fighting has been going on for the past few months, Israel has destroyed over 1100 buildings that were located within a 1km perimeter next to the Gaza fence. Israeli officials have confirmed that Israel wants to create a 1km safety zone from the fence inside Gaza.
Then the Israeli army will gradually withdraw from Gaza, and begin to keep it completely under siege, in poverty, without food, water, medicine, forcing the population to turn against Hamas and begin to surrender their positions, while Israel will resume continuous bombing and targeting of Gaza that will last for years.
This would allow Israel to drastically reduce the portion of its army holding the siege of Gaza, while the bulk would be sent north to fight Hezbollah.
Hamas, due to lack of military equipment and technology, will not be able to cross that 1 km open zone without being detected and will be practically unable to wage war, except to sit and wait inside Gaza.

IN 2006, RESEARCHER CLEVE BACKSTER — THE MAN WHO INVENTED THE CIA'S LIE DETECTOR PROTOCOLS — PUBLISHED 36 YEARS OF EXPERIMENTS PROVING THAT PLANTS, BACTERIA, AND HUMAN CELLS IN PETRI DISHES RESPOND INSTANTANEOUSLY TO HUMAN THOUGHT AND EMOTION — EVEN AT DISTANCES OF HUNDREDS OF MILES. THE SIGNAL IS FASTER THAN LIGHT. IT DOES NOT DIMINISH WITH DISTANCE. IT IS NOT ELECTROMAGNETIC.
In 1966, Cleve Backster was the world's foremost expert on polygraph technology. He had developed the interrogation techniques used by the CIA, FBI, and U.S. military. He understood galvanic skin response — the electrical conductance of biological tissue — better than anyone alive.
One morning, on a whim, he attached polygraph electrodes to a Dracaena plant in his office. He watered it and watched the tracing. Then he thought: "I wonder what would happen if I threatened this plant." He decided to burn a leaf with a match.
The instant he formed the intention — before he moved, before he lit the match, before any ...
