Israel, Gaza and Hamas 2014 - Glen Segell

Israel, Gaza and Hamas 2014: Operation Protective Edge in numbers of rockets fired at Israel; Iron Dome interceptions; air strikes; tunnels destroyed; and the dead can be reaped from on-line newspaper sources. This book goes behind the scenes to analyze the thinking at the time. The goal of victory in a war is the destruction of the enemy's army. This volume concludes that in Operation Protective Edge neither side achieved victory in this sense. The 50 days of fighting didn't resolve the Israel-Palestinian impasse. The door open for a future Israel, Gaza and Hamas armed conflict. The ball is in the court of the counselors.
