Another observation is, for all the high tech surveillance Israel has on those tiny strips of land, they could not prevent thousands of rockets being assembled and fired, perhaps a statement on complexity when jihadis have a piece of land under their direct control.
this should hopefully give a reality check to “India should capture PoK right now” fanboys.
Bhai, Israel is so small, the firing positions across it's border are so densely populated and urbanized, the stock of rockets is so high, it's going to be very different from PoK. Israel has allowed Hamas to consolidate there. If the PoK strategy takes into consideration the aftermath of an invasion and focuses on not allowing them to form or rally up together, there will be a very different scenario playing out. Not to mention, in an all out war, restrictions go out the window as well (and I'm sure an undertaking like capturing PoK will evoke an all out war short of nuclear or even worse).
If we were to judge with the Israel Hamas yardstick, we should be out of Kashmir as well.
It's a different terrain, different populace.
Different results.
