Accumulations of failure:
Dimensions and motives of the Israeli military operation against.
Pregnancy freeze Palestinian-Israeli negotiations - with the end of the month of April 2014, following the signing of a reconciliation agreement between the PLO and Hamas - in it the harbingers of the current evolution of the military situation on the Palestinian arena - Israel, which led to the launch of the Israeli military operation "shelf steadfast" against the Gaza Strip .
Quoted Israel named its military operation from the Bible, to carry the meaning of cleansing and steadfastness, which indicates that the Israeli right is a key player in the management of the war on Gaza, in light of the declining role of the left in front of the wrath of Israeli public opinion toward the Palestinians, is also trying the term "resilience" Export the defensive nature of the Israeli military operation.
The stability of the motives and contexts change:
Through the long history of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, the accumulation of both sides recognize, in some cases up to a degree of certainty, that the negotiating process will not achieve the aspirations of each party to it. The Palestinians have been unable to get a fair settlement for their cause gives them some of their rights usurped, and that the Israelis were not able to legitimize their current status, through the agreement provides the continuation of the Israeli state, and to ensure a quiet life for future generations.
Thus, the perception has grown in the Palestinian - Israeli conflict to resort to violence and the use of military force is the only option more complicated things on the ground, noting that violence and the use of military force is the origin of any "conflict". Therefore, it has become among Palestinian and Israeli sides underlying drivers and permanent violence, often waiting for the emergence of these motives complex political context, in turn, causes a form directly from which to justify the trend toward violence or the use of military force.
Dimensions "shelf steadfast":
In response to the launch of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam nearly 40 rockets from Gaza in the July 7, 2014 - 30 of which landed inside Israel - Israel began its military operation against the Gaza Strip under the name of "shelf steadfast", where Israeli aircraft approximately 440 to raid now since the beginning of the process, killed nearly 60 Palestinians and killed more than 350 wounded.
Israel began the process of "shelf upside," the aim is clear - as reports suggest Israeli - the destruction of the infrastructure of Hamas, and the total elimination of the military capabilities and missile movement, and it quickly does not allow the outbreak of a third Palestinian uprising, or the formation of alignments of regional and international anti-Israel and sympathetic to the Palestinians .
Israel is seeking through the destruction of the infrastructure of Hamas to stop firing rockets at southern Israel, and that disrupt the lives of the civilian population living there and undermine the social fabric, and create a sort of "balance of terror", and is also seeking to undermine the experience of the Palestinian national reconciliation and the failure of the Government of National Unity the new.
On the other side, there is a qualitative development of the military operations carried out by the Izz al-Din al-Qassam, which can be monitored through:
- Deliberated Israeli press reports several before "shelf steadfast," about owning Hamas for long-range missiles can reach even the Tel Aviv area and a range of up to about 60 km, in addition to the Qassam rockets known and old, which covers a range of all the towns in the south, and missiles of the type "Kornet" , which are anti-tank missiles used by Hezbollah in the Second Lebanon War, in addition to mortars. But it turned out with the development of rocket attacks by Izz al-Din al-Qassam possession of missiles (Shining 90, and blew 5 developer), and sent to Tel Aviv (the extent of 75 kilometers), and said it targeted a rocket (Rantisi 160 kilometers) occupied city of Haifa, but Israeli sources indicated to the occurrence of the missile attack in Hadera (100 kilometers from the Gaza Strip). And so we get to the conclusion that; armament development of capacities for the Izz al-Din al-Qassam.
- The evolution of style storage and hide missiles with battalions so hard to reach and destroy them all, where reports indicated the existence of three types of stockpiles of rockets, which are:
* Inventory routine: rockets, which are divided in areas of the Gaza Strip, especially in homes and stores belonging to the elements of the Phalange, which is ready for immediate launch.
* Additional inventory: rockets, which are distributed and hidden in homes and establishments among the civilian population.
* Missiles disjointed: rockets, which are stored a disjointed, where it is stored in the rocket body individually for motivation that works with fuel. And when needed, is the installation of complex parts quickly.
- The Izz al-Din al-Qassam for the first time military operations pre-emptive attack Israeli ground unexpectedly, where carried out the infiltration freely to the base "Zikim" Navy in Ashkelon across a range of "frogmen", where he was declared al-Qassam Brigades, the Unit affiliate that stormed the naval base caused significant losses in the ranks of the enemy and killed an Israeli soldier, while the media reported that four Israeli was killed by gunmen on the beach. As the battalions bombing an Israeli army watchtower blasting through a tunnel carved under the site Kerem Shalom in the southern Gaza Strip, without the declaration of a loss of life.
The motives of armed escalation:
This escalation comes armed and starting the process of "shelf upside", under the condition of the frustration caused by the failure of the recent negotiations between the Palestinians and Israelis in the last April 2014 after 10 months of care, the U.S. has. The turn of events came gradually to form with an array of direct and cumulative reasons, have led in the end to the bombing of the status quo, for the Palestinian side, the reasons for the escalation can be summarized as follows:
- The determination of the Israeli government to continue settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territories heavily unprecedented.
- Deny Israel's commitment to the release of the fourth installment of the Palestinian prisoners.
- The deterioration of the situation of Palestinian prisoners, because it's been nearly two months on hunger strike launched by Palestinian prisoners administrators who are languishing in Israeli prisons for long years without trial, and without indictments against them. Israeli officials have said repeatedly that Israel will not release them, and they will also continue to arrest more arrests of Palestinian activists administratively, without bringing them to trial.
- Continuing to clamp down on the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, Israel and the imposition of more economic and financial sanctions on the Palestinian Authority, most notably withholding funds transfers customs.
- The collapse of recent negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis, and the absence of any hope of reaching a fair solution - even if temporary - of the outstanding issues between the two parties.
- The continuation of Israeli raids against the Gaza Strip, as well as acts of violence by Israeli forces against the Palestinians, and against the backdrop of the kidnapping of three Israeli settlers youths, these raids have escalated following the discovery of the death of three settlers.
- Increasing acts of violence by Jewish extremists against Palestinians, and it came to a peak with the abduction and killing of Palestinian boy Mohammad Abu Khudair (16 years old) in the city of Jerusalem, on July 2, 2014, against the backdrop of reprisals by Jewish extremists, in addition to the assault severely his cousin Tareq Abu Khudair.
On the Israeli side, you can summarize the reasons for the military escalation, right down to begin the process of "shelf upside", as follows:
- The signing of the reconciliation agreement between the PLO and Hamas, which embarrassed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the right-wing in his government - a party "Yisrael Beiteinu" and "Jewish Home" - which did not stop attacking him during the negotiations, because of their vision that Netanyahu presented more concessions to the Palestinian side, and the subsequent formation of a national unity government, which provoked the Israeli political center.
- Escalation of events at a faster pace, with the abduction of three young Jews, they Gilad poet and Naphtali Fraenkel and Eyal Afrah, near an Israeli settlement in the West Bank on June 12, 2014, and after a long search found the Israeli army in the June 30, 2014 the bodies of young Israelis, three near Halhoul area. Hamas has accused Israel of being responsible for the kidnapping of three young men. Hamas did not deny or confirm involvement in the matter, which sparked a wave of anger in Israel at all levels.
- The Izz al-Din al-Qassam, the military wing of Hamas, on the seventh of July 2014 bombing of Israeli cities in southern Israel, including nearly 40 rockets. At a time when the Israeli military spokesman said, "Peter Lerner," that militants in Gaza fired more than 80 rockets into Israel, while Israeli military officials said it was launched more than 200 rockets into Israel over the past month.
The motivating factors came to confirm the inevitability of asylum on all parties to adopt the option of violence and the use of armed force, are as follows:
- Trends in Israeli public opinion toward the development of events, which are revealed by the results of an opinion poll conducted by the Institute "Vanls Politics" and published in the newspaper "Maariv", the poll shows public dissatisfaction with the Israeli government reactions toward the firing of rockets from the Gaza Strip. Where it is believed 60% of the respondents said that the Israeli army did not respond strongly to the firing of rockets toward southern towns in the past two weeks. And this percentage to 77% amid Israeli residents of the south, in addition to the support of 56% of them to the ground offensive on the Gaza Strip by the Israeli army.
- On the Israeli side, continued circles, right-wing government and the Knesset to pressure the Prime Minister to push him in the direction of escalation toward Hamas and the Gaza Strip, where he called Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman to the need for an air strike and large-scale ground in the Gaza Strip, in response to the killing of three youths , prior to announce the July 7, 2014 for ending political alliance with Netanyahu, any separation of the block, "Yisrael Beiteinu" under his chairmanship on the mass of the Likud parliamentary, but with the survival of the government, and against the backdrop of criticism of Lieberman to the government's policy on how to respond to attacks Palestinian rocket, and call for the invasion and overthrow of the Hamas government. In addition to the approval of the Israeli Knesset first reading of the proposed law that places restrictions on the Israeli government to prevent the release of Palestinian prisoners, in an attempt to undermine any future attempts to reach a settlement with the Palestinians and push it to the escalation.
On the Palestinian side, he went by many analysts that the Izz al-Din al-Qassam - after the firing of rockets into southern Israel - and a group of activists involved in the killing of Jewish settlers three, are responsible by a large margin for the involvement of Hamas and the Gaza Strip in this military development, and that in time that comes military escalation is not in favor of Hamas and the government of the new Palestinian unity, and noted several reports that Hamas has lost control of its military wing 'Izz al-Din al-Qassam later declared independence in light of the financial difficulties faced by Hamas, which has made Hamas's ability to impose discipline modest.
It can be said that the regional and international players in the region have been unable to formulate a firm position towards the developments in the Palestinian-Israeli, and did not appear mediations serious to prevent the development of the situation, which may be due to the preoccupation of these players developments on the scene Libya and Iraq and Syria, as well as the presence of miscalculation of attitude on the part of these players which prevented the expectation of malate scene.
Therefore, it appears that developments in the field has produced a spectacle complicated, difficult to anticipate malate Israeli military operation, and the borders of the Palestinian response, may resort Israel under the pressure of public opinion and the right-wing government to launch a ground operation uproots her arsenal Hamas rocket, especially in light of nesting places storage and release of these arsenal with residential communities, which will not be able Israeli aircraft destroyed without committing massacres huge against the Palestinians, which may in turn would require international reactions strong toward Israel. therefore, remain the hopes pinned on the reaction of Arab and international powers, and mediation efforts real, to prevent the continuation of the process of "shelf steadfast."
