Be that as it may , you won't see the state of Israel repeat these follies. After all for them it's an existential war . More or less the same situation faced them during the Yom Kippur war . Post the war the enquiry commission fixed blame , heads rolled & a total revamp of the security forces & its doctrines followed.
Was it effective? Israel never fought a war against an Arab state ( the war in Lebanon in the 1980s & later in the 2000s against Hezbollah was more Israel battling non state actors ) since then which is both a testament to its military preparedness , diplomacy & of course the unwavering support of the US.
There's no reason to believe this time it'd be any different. Expect a complete overhaul of the security forces , its doctrines , equipment , training , recruitment etc . In short I expect some sort of great wall of Berlin to come up around Gaza & Israel being converted into a garrison state before the decade is out . See this episode as another battle in the long war being waged for nearly a century now between the Jews & Arabs.
The Arabs can consistently claim victory solely by virtue of having survived irrespective of the fact that they lost practically all these encounters . The Jew can claim absolute victory only once he's established Eretz Israel which means total occupation of Gaza & the west bank besides establishing their capital in Jerusalem.
Existential nahi hai yaar that's why they are so soft.
Existential is when like 3-4 Arab country's armies, supplied with Soviet maal and further bankrolled with Oil bux attempts to invade your country.
That has happened, the Arabs btfo, Anwar Sadat and the Jordanian Raja of the day giving their asses to the Jooz and Abbu Amrika for "peace".
Rest most of the Gulf Sheikhs have become friends of the Jooz, only residual palestinian love remains in their praja.
The war that needed to be won has already been won by the fathers and grandfathers of the current polyamorous, LSD, Ganja enjoying homosexual kikes.
Poliostanis can enjoy raping their women and beheading their babies, watching them trouser shiver over the hostages, but they get the big L in the long war.
As we speak the Jooz with the topi and wierd hairstyles are grabbing land in the West Bank, slowly boxing the Arabs inside ghetto cities, there is no viable state of Palestine inspite of n Green chimpouts on the planet
There are 19 Arab countries, and not one has the balls to wage war for the sake of their Jaat-bhais.
There are even more Muslim countries but even Iran doesn't have the cojones to get in the ring directly and 1v1 the Jooz
Jooz can literally not do any ground invasion and do a cheese-fire, aside from wounded pride and any psychological damage from being utter pussies, they lose nothing, not an inch of land goes to the Arabs, and in pure numbers of deaths they have already settled the score with the Gazawalas.
The strategy of the Joo is long term, like a python slowly squeezing the life out of it's prey.
