(JNS) Enia Krivine and Aaron Goren - The Israel Defense Forces are fighting in Jabalia for the third time, confronting yet another Hamas resurgence in northern Gaza. But this time, Israel is leveraging new strategic advantages to seal off the neighborhood so terrorists cannot escape. By sealing the battlefield and systematically evacuating civilians, the terrorists barricaded in Jabalia will be apprehended or eliminated. Israel cannot guarantee security to the Israeli border communities until the threats in northern Gaza are dealt with conclusively. The IDF is determined to stem Hamas resurgences by ensuring that Hamas terrorists lack escape routes and reinforcements. This new tactic of laying siege to problem areas, evacuating civilians, and forcing terrorists to surrender will likely be repeated in Gaza City. Enia Krivine is senior director of the Israel Program and the National Security Network at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, where Aaron Goren is a research analyst.
