Foreign Military Leaders Observe Israel’s Complex Fight Against Hamas

Nathan Klabin reports on a recent visit to Israel by high-ranking foreign military officials, who observed both humanitarian and combat zones along Gaza’s Philadelphi Corridor and Israel’s northern border with Lebanon. This unique delegation, which included military leaders from the US, UK, France, and other nations, provided firsthand insights into the challenges Israel faces in its war against Hamas. The tour, organized by the European Leadership Network (ELNET), offered these veterans, many of whom have served in conflicts like Iraq and Afghanistan, a close look at Israel’s military operations and the difficulties of urban warfare in Gaza.

During the visit, Col. Richard Kemp, a former British Army officer, and retired Delta Force Lt. Col. Jeff Tiegs discussed the strategic and ethical challenges Israel must navigate, including the dilemma of defeating Hamas while attempting to rescue hostages. Both officials also highlighted the threat from Hezbollah in Lebanon and potential unrest in the West Bank, raising concerns about a possible third intifada.
