Displacement is the goal of the second Gideon vehicle operation.

The complex ambush against Israeli forces in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City, which inflicted significant losses on them, confirms the validity of the concerns expressed by the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Occupation Army, Eyal Zamir, that the second Gideon Vehicles operation to occupy Gaza City will come at a high cost in terms of Israeli soldier casualties. This warning did not receive a receptive ear from Netanyahu and the security cabinet, which decided to proceed with the operation regardless of the losses the army would incur, as the primary goal of the operation, as defined by Netanyahu, is to push Gazans into forced displacement under the pressure of military operations in preparation for their expulsion outside the enclave. Additionally, the complete occupation of the Gaza Strip would provide him with the "victory image" he seeks to achieve, which would personally save him and prevent the fall of his government.

From the early hours of the war, Israel has been keen to promote a political and media narrative that its ultimate goal is the occupation of the Gaza Strip to eliminate Hamas and free Israeli prisoners. However, when subjected to analysis, this narrative appears to be more of a propaganda cover than a reflection of real, achievable objectives. The field data and admissions from Israeli military officials make it clear that what is announced does not necessarily reflect what is being planned.

The demographic alarm bell rang in Israel when 2014 statistics from the Palestinian and Israeli statistical offices showed that the number of Palestinians in historic Palestine (from the sea to the river) reached approximately 6.08 million, compared to 6.10 million Jews, a slight difference that will soon dissipate in the coming years, with the balance tipping in favor of Palestinians due to their higher birth rates compared to Jews. This demographic reality has become a concern for Israel, which was founded on the idea of a "Jewish state," as the conflict is no longer merely a security issue or a confrontation with resistance movements, but a struggle for identity. From here, it can be understood that the military operation in Gaza does not only target Hamas as marketed in the media, but carries a broader project aimed at pushing Palestinians into "involuntary" mass migration under the pressure of bombardment and starvation.

In 2013, Israel established a strategic military unit called the "Population Movement Organization," led by Brigadier General "Oudi Baramouha." The theory of population movement was developed by a multidisciplinary team as part of operational plans for a future invasion of the Gaza Strip. During Operation "Protective Edge" in 2014, the developed methods of this unit were tested for the first time, and it became a method of combat in the "Guardian of the Walls" operation in 2021. In the context of the "population movement" theory, the Gaza Strip was divided into blocks, with sectoral boundaries based on the existing layout in Gaza, not on an externally imposed logic, so that the boundaries of the block correspond to the villages, cities, streets, neighborhoods, and alleys in the enclave.

It is true that the elimination of Hamas is one of the publicly stated objectives of the Gideon Vehicles (2) operation to occupy Gaza City and the camps in the central region. However, Hamas's presence is not limited to Gaza City, so it cannot be said that controlling the city means eliminating it, as it has extended arms in the north, south, and center, making the notion of eliminating it through military action within the city seem overly simplistic to the point of naivety. In other words, what is happening now and what will happen later is more of a random bombardment of civilian areas than a war against military targets. This, in itself, reveals the falsehood of the official narrative; if there are no longer any military targets, what justifies the continued bombardment and invasion of residential neighborhoods and the systematic killing of civilians?!!

As for the other publicly stated goal of the second Gideon Vehicles operation, which is to free Israeli prisoners from Hamas's grip, often raised as a justification for the continuation of the war, the liberation of these prisoners cannot be resolved through a ground invasion of Gaza City. The network of tunnels dug by Hamas extends throughout the sector, making it impossible to assume that the release of the prisoners will be achieved through a concentrated military operation. On the contrary, any large-scale military invasion puts the lives of the prisoners at greater risk, according to statements from senior Israeli military leaders, if the release of the prisoners is even on the agenda of the Israeli government!!

So, if the elimination of Hamas is not possible through the occupation of Gaza, and if there are no longer any significant military targets, and if the liberation of the prisoners is impossible by force, what is the real goal of Operation Gideon 2?

The answer to this question becomes clear when reading the old-new Israeli strategic plans: the displacement of Gaza's residents. The narrative broadcast in Western and Israeli media
