Israel may or may not achieve all its military
objectives vis-a-vis Hamas by the time a
ceasefire is imposed in Gaza, but it would appear
the current war effort accomplished something far
more important in thwarting a planned mega-
attack.
About a week ago, Israeli troops operating in
Gaza confiscated Hamas documents and
computers that contained details of a planned
major assault against southern Israel.
As the ground war got underway a couple of
weeks ago, Israel was surprised by the number
and complexity of the terror tunnels Hamas had
dug under the Gaza border and into sovereign
Israeli territory.
What it only learned later, after captured the
aforementioned intelligence, was that all those
tunnels were part of one elaborate attack scheme.
As per the Hamas documents, on Rosh Hashanah
of this year (starting September 24), up to 200
Hamas gunmen were to pour out of each of the
dozens upon dozens of terror tunnels, many of
which we now know exit inside or very near to
Israeli civilian communities.
While the Hamas plan is in scope grand beyond
achievability, there is no doubt that an attack of
that scale would have resulted in many Israeli
casualties, and possibly a number of abductions.
In fact, many of the tunnels uncovered over the
past week were found to contain holding rooms
where presumably Hamas intended to hide
kidnapped Israelis.
A number of the Hamas fighters captured by
Israel in recent days have confirmed that the plan
was real, and said they had been promised by
their leadership that the mass coordinated assault
would begin the ultimate defeat of the Zionist
enemy.
Israel’s war on Gaza, and in particular the focus
on destroying the terror tunnels, severely
disrupted Hamas’ plans, which the prisoners said
had required some 12 years of preparations.
