Nathan Klabin reports [1] 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.
