Why Is the Gaza War Taking So Long?
(X) Maj. (ret.) John Spencer - Anyone who believed Hamas could be swiftly dismantled was never a serious student of war. Hamas spent decades transforming Gaza into a fortress: a vast subterranean network of tunnels, a militarized landscape of civilian infrastructure, and a society indoctrinated for jihad. It was an autonomous warfighting entity - an entire region engineered for protracted conflict. Now, that war is being met with clarity of purpose. Israel is not merely engaging in a military offensive, it is a campaign to dismantle the machinery of terror and reshape the strategic future of the region.
