The Hebrew newspapers, published on Wednesday, focused on the events in the Gaza Strip and the state of anticipation after the massacre that took place yesterday and led to the death of 15 Palestinians, including women and children.

The Hebrew newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, considered the massacre committed as a message from Israel, that whoever is behind any attacks is no longer immune from targeting.

Avi Sakharov, a political commentator for the Hebrew newspaper, said in an analytical report that, unlike many tours in past years, the Israeli army and the Shin Bet preferred to wait for a week after the last missile strike from Gaza on Tuesday of last week, until it responded by targeting those behind it, in At a time when Hamas and Islamic Jihad preferred not to rush to respond, and to wait for the appropriate time for that, although everything that happened yesterday was paving the way for the two movements to respond immediately.

Sakharov points out that what happened forces Hamas to act and be part of the response, unlike previous rounds, especially since it participated in the missile strikes last Tuesday.

Sakharov explains the delay in the response from the resistance in Gaza, to what he claimed was the shock of the Islamic Jihad with the assassination of 3 senior leaders of its military wing, and the targeting of some weapons stores and production, in addition to the effort of the Jihad to include Hamas in response and not to go on a tour alone against Israel, because the movement fears that it will catch up with it. A military defeat if the round is fought without Hamas, and the Jihad has tried for hours to find attractive enough targets from the Israeli side to cause a painful reaction that would allow it to present its own achievements.

He claims: “The delay on the part of Hamas can mainly testify to the differences between it and Islamic Jihad and the understanding of the high price that the sovereign body in Gaza would pay for a comprehensive campaign against Israel, and Hamas has exactly what to lose by being the governing body responsible for the lives of more than Two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

He indicates that there may be differences of opinion within the Hamas leadership about the nature of the response, especially since the movement faces a dilemma related to the fact that in recent years it has been relatively successful in rehabilitating the Strip through the understandings reached with Israel mediated by Egypt, including the entry of workers from Gaza. To the Green Line, and the transfer of goods from Egypt to the Strip, which increased the state of stability in Gaza, and this prompted the movement not to interfere in previous rounds when the Israeli army was attacking the Islamic Jihad movement, but the operation that began yesterday has become a deeper dilemma for Yahya Sinwar. Muhammad al-Deif, Marwan Issa, and the Hamas leadership in the Gaza Strip.

"It is very likely that Hamas, until last night at least, was looking for a different kind of response, perhaps not through a comprehensive tour, but perhaps a specific response that would allow it to respond very measuredly as it is binding on it in front of the public," Sakharov says. Palestinian, without dragging Gaza into a long tour.

He saw in the operation that targeted Jihad Ghanem, one of the senior leaders of Islamic Jihad, and the oldest of them, who is considered to be similar to the degree of "Muhammad al-Deif" in Hamas, as well as the targeting of Khalil al-Bahtini, one of the leaders of the organization, and Tariq Ezzedine, who is considered more interesting from the point of view of Israel, especially since he is a prisoner. An editor, who is responsible for attacks from the West Bank from the Gaza Strip, saw that the decision of the Shin Bet and the army to attack them sends a message that whoever tries to burn the West Bank and lives in Gaza will pay the price, and that Gaza is no longer a fortified place. like he said.

In another report by Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, it quoted an Israeli security official as saying that the Islamic Jihad is looking for a harsh opening strike to respond to the operation yesterday, indicating that the Israeli army is on wide alert.

The newspaper pointed out that diplomatic efforts are being made to try to prevent a response from Gaza, amid pessimism towards that, even from the mediators.

The newspaper drew attention to the state of fear experienced by the residents of the settlements around the Gaza Strip, some of which began to be evacuated at a voluntary request, noting that the shops and streets are empty of residents who have been subjected to a strict siege.

In a third report for the newspaper prepared by its correspondent for security affairs, Yossi Yehoshua, he said that the operation in Gaza yesterday was necessary and required in the face of the erosion of Israeli deterrence that had been recorded in recent months, even if that was at the expense of escalation.

He pointed out that the Israeli army felt that its response to the massive rocket fire on Tuesday of last week, against the infrastructure of Hamas and Jihad, was not sufficient, and that a higher price must be paid, and therefore the operation was carried out.

And he indicated that since that day, the Shin Bet and the Israeli army began to search for opportunities to eliminate senior officials in Islamic Jihad, and they did not need special guidance from Benjamin Netanyahu or Yoav Gallant, because there were not many other options in the basket of responses, and yet it was There is good professional cooperation between Netanyahu and Galant, and on Friday they held a discussion at the Shin Bet headquarters to approve the plan, and the opportunity began to open up. A high level of alertness and readiness, and none of the ministers were involved in the plans, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, although such an operation would have implications for internal security.

And he considered that the operation yesterday against the leaders of the Islamic Jihad was the result of "excellent intelligence", especially that it was carried out simultaneously, indicating that the Islamic Jihad is looking until this moment for a strike by carrying out an attack using an anti-tank missile, and when such an attack was planned yesterday, a cell of attempts was thwarted. A missile was launched, in a marked improvement in the Israeli army's capabilities to hunt down and pursue the cells that launch those missiles, which culminated in Operation "Dawn" last August. As Joshua says.

He adds: It is estimated that the Jihad movement is seeking the opening strike in response to what happened, and for this reason the Israeli army has so far played the role of defense and sought to end the round as soon as possible in order to preserve the operational achievement, while at the same time the security establishment is working to distance Hamas from Image, in a manner similar to Operation Dawn.

Yehoshua criticized the press conference of Netanyahu, Gallant, Halevy, and Bar, last night, considering it early, especially since no rockets were fired from Gaza and the situation could escalate, saying: "We can be proud of our achievements, but we must be more humble."

For its part, the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz said, in a report by its analyst and military correspondent, Amos Harel, that the recent assassination may lead to a round of fighting for several days, noting that Israel focuses on Islamic Jihad and tries to exclude Hamas, but the question in its security institutions is whether Hamas You will participate in the response.

The newspaper pointed out that Israel had prepared for a relatively intensive response, but it was surprised that it did not respond until this morning, indicating that this may be due to the intense coordination between Hamas and the Islamic Jihad to carry out a strong attack, or that there is a discussion between them about how to act, and therefore it is estimated that the incident did not happen. It is over yet, and a response is expected from Gaza, but the only question is when?

Harel says: It will be difficult for Hamas, as the party that controls the sector, to completely ignore what happened.

He points out that Hamas's entry into the fighting round will improve the Palestinian firepower, and this may force Israel to take additional steps, such as mobilizing more reserve forces and putting regular brigades on standby for a possible ground operation, and it is not excluded that rockets will be fired at Gush Dan. Greater Tel Aviv.” Nevertheless, it seems that on the strategic level, Hamas is interested in a short tour, especially since the current reality is relatively comfortable for it in light of the continued entry of 17 thousand workers from the Gaza Strip to the Green Line, in addition to the monthly aid from Qatar, and the improvement of the economic situation, which made It is easy for Hamas to continue to control the situation.

It is likely that Hamas' position on the tour may be related to the danger of the spread of "violence" from other arenas, as happened last April after the events of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the firing of rockets from Lebanon, noting that the Israeli intelligence had been talking for a long time about the possibility of the arenas converging and the situation igniting. from several fronts.

Harel said: A series of assassinations in Gaza can accelerate the realization of such a scenario, and the same applies to the West Bank, with the high level of attacks, since March of last year.

Harel believes that Netanyahu made the decision regarding the assassinations under great internal pressure, and he did not have many options in light of the protests on the one hand, and the internal political crisis in his government, especially with the Jewish Power Party led by Itamar Ben Gvir, indicating that all of this prompted him not to participate in any minister. In his plans against Gaza.

Harel downplayed the steps taken towards Gaza, including assassinations, saying: "It is hard to believe that there will be a major change in the situation in Gaza, as is the case in previous operations, and it seems that Israel has already exhausted the reservoir of creativity with regard to strategic solutions in the Gaza Strip, and all General, an operation is carried out there, and when it ends, Gaza remains the same Gaza, and its problems remain the same.

He added, "It is better for Israel to strive to end the cycle of violence as soon as possible."

In another report, the newspaper saw that the political leadership in Iran is pressuring Islamic Jihad to carry out a massive retaliation, according to Israeli political estimates.

According to the same estimates, the damage caused to the Jihad following the assassination of its leaders caused a delay in the response, and the organization is facing difficulties in recovering from the attack, and it is also facing difficulties in carrying out an attack without the help of Hamas, which is in no hurry to move.

According to Israeli estimates, it is not excluded that Hamas will provide assistance to the Islamic Jihad, but it is hesitant about the consequences of such a step for the residents of the Strip.

Haaretz quoted sources in Hamas and Islamic Jihad as saying that they learned from Hezbollah not to respond immediately to Israeli attacks, and to instill a long-term sense of threat to Israel, despite the pressure exerted by the Palestinian public.

In another report, the newspaper considered that the assassination operation represented a turning point in the rules of the game established by the "Guardian of the Walls / Sword of Jerusalem" operation in May 2021, noting that all the rounds that we witnessed in the past two years were determining the scope of fire and the area of influence, and an attempt Avoid breaking the rules of the game.

The newspaper believed that yesterday's operation pushes the Islamic Jihad with one option, which is the response, and that Hamas may join this option even though it is trying to maintain calm for a long term, and does not want a process that diverts attention from the West Bank to arise in Gaza, especially in the upcoming sensitive days, including the anniversary of the Nakba, and the march media.

The newspaper says: "Hamas will try to find a middle ground between the reaction that will harm Israel and preserve the formation of the organization, in the hope that Arab and international mediation will help the parties to reach new agreements."

And she adds: "The problem, as in all rounds of fighting, is the lack of a political solution or a plan that can prepare the ground for an exit from the cycle of bloodshed.. All that exists are fragile understandings based on security peace in exchange for economic benefits, and as long as this is the case, The current round and the next round will not change reality.

In another report, the newspaper quoted Western diplomats as saying that Israel will find it difficult to mobilize international support for any large-scale operation in Gaza, especially in light of the targeting of Palestinian civilians.

For its part, Maariv newspaper focused on the disruption of the lives of settlers around the Gaza Strip, the opening of shelters in major cities, including Tel Aviv, the movements of mediators, and the delay in the response from Islamic Jihad, which caused the continuation of the existing crisis in the lack of knowledge of the movement's intentions . It referred to the statements of the Israeli army spokesman about the continued assessment Conditions, readiness and continuous preparedness since yesterday.

While the Hebrew newspaper, Israel Hayom, said that Israel's long-term goal is for Gaza to be a demilitarized zone for the sake of security and to be under the control of an entity that recognizes it and does not use "violence" against it, stressing that this goal is not realistic and cannot be achieved.

And the newspaper says, as long as the Gaza Strip is under the control of Hamas, which invests all its energies in fighting Israel, and therefore the political level in Tel Aviv faces two alternatives in dealing with security challenges in this arena, and neither of them is attractive. The first is the occupation of the Gaza Strip, and this is an expensive option in light of The absence of another party that can take the lead, and the second is the option of the concept of rounds, in order to maintain calm through the deterrence that these rounds achieve with an effort to reduce the duration of each round, and the use of pressure tools and incentives routinely, which will increase the cost of loss and make attacks on Israel is useless, and this is the approach that characterizes Israeli politics today and is not expected to change even after the current round.

The newspaper believed that this strategy will keep the situation fragile, and therefore Israel must increase the price it imposes on Gaza, and to achieve its achievements in yesterday's operation, the "opponent" must be prevented from achieving an achievement that may change the balance, and seize any opportunity to deepen the damage to the "terrorist" elements in Gaza. . according to her expression.

In another report by the same newspaper, yesterday's attack carries a clear and resounding message to the factions in Gaza, and that it carries a message beyond just a one-time attack, and that it confirms that the deterrent force is still present, and this message includes other fronts, not just Gaza.

The newspaper says: "Hamas after the guard of the walls learned the lesson, and it is time for the Islamic Jihad movement to learn the same lesson."

3 citizens were injured, on Wednesday morning, as a result of the occupation army and settlers attacking them in Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah.

According to the Ministry of Health, two of the injured were shot in the abdomen and thigh with live bullets, and the third had fractures in the knee.

A state of anticipation still prevails in the Gaza Strip, and even the settlements in its cover, awaiting what will happen to the situation in light of the failure of the Palestinian resistance until this moment to respond to the massacres of the Israeli occupation committed yesterday, which led to the death of 15 citizens, including children and women, after the assassination of 3 leaders of Brigades Jerusalem, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement.

While studies have been suspended in the Gaza Strip for fear of the lives of students in light of the escalating security situation, schools and universities, up to 40 km from the borders of the Strip, inside Israeli settlements and cities, are still in a state of compulsory suspension for fear of a response by the resistance.
