Troops in Gaza during a Ceasefire: Dangers and Opportunities
(Jerusalem Post) Seth J. Frantzman - A pause in fighting will give Hamas units a chance to regroup, reposition their forces, move weapons to the front, prepare ambushes, and set up explosives along roads where the IDF might advance. At the same time, the IDF can utilize the break to rotate troops, dig in, and get to know the areas it has taken from Hamas. The IDF can repair vehicles, improve defense positions and shelters, and increase the efficiency of logistics. In addition, troops will be able to rest while Israel prepares its own next steps. Hamas doesn't have the initiative. Israel's technological superiority will be employed during the ceasefire to prepare for the next phase.
