Reserve Major General in the occupying army, Isaac Brik, warned that Israel is currently facing a number of risks at the regional level, yet it is content to exhaust its forces in Gaza without any preparedness for other challenges abroad and at home.
Brik believes in an article published in the Hebrew newspaper Maariv that the Israeli discourse promoting an imminent decisive action against the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Hezbollah, which assumes stable relations with Egypt and Jordan, does not reflect a realistic vision of the existential challenges that can no longer be ignored.
He added, "The ground is shaking beneath Israel's feet," while the government tries to convince the Israeli public of illusory victories. The writer emphasized that Hezbollah, despite the blows it has received, continues to rebuild its military system at an accelerated pace.
He cited American intelligence reports indicating that the party has restored about 25% of its military and civilian infrastructure in just one month, and that the current calm on the northern front is merely a tactical maneuver aimed at repositioning and enhancing capabilities.
Brik reported from field sources in the West Bank that popular tension has reached a boiling point, and that Palestinians there are echoing the phrase "The day will come, and we are waiting for it," referring to the possibility of an imminent uprising.
He pointed out that the escalation of attacks by extremist settlers, along with the declining morale among Israeli soldiers in the West Bank, could ignite the spark of a widespread explosion there.
The writer warned that this explosion, if it occurs, would pose a danger to the settlements that would be isolated and without adequate protection, while the army would not be able to deploy quickly at all points of tension.
Brik addressed the current situation within Israel, describing it as more dangerous than it was during the "Guardian of the Walls" battle in May 2021, when mixed cities witnessed a wave of internal violence, exacerbating social and economic tensions.
He notes that the recent reduction of readiness units in the border settlements reflects a failure to learn from past lessons, leaving the home front vulnerable to disturbances that could paralyze Israel's ability to confront a comprehensive regional war.
Isaac Brik concluded that Israel's ongoing preoccupation in the "Gaza swamp" has made it ignore the major challenges accumulating around it, considering that its enemies have succeeded in luring it into a war of attrition with its weakest opponents, while risks are escalating on the borders and deep within.
He warned that the continuation of this approach means that Israel will find itself unable to respond to a moment of comprehensive regional explosion, a moment in which it may not find the time and capacity to confront all these fronts simultaneously.
The ground is shaking beneath Israel's feet, while the government tries to convince the Israeli public of illusory victories.
