Part 4/10:
Retired US Navy Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery provided insights into the conflict in Gaza, emphasizing the difficulties Israel faces in potentially occupying the Gaza Strip. With Israel already controlling about 60% of the territory, any further military incursion poses significant risks, especially concerning hostages and underground tunnels used by militants.
Admiral Montgomery highlighted that Israeli forces would be tasked with operating in hostile, booby-trapped environments, risking additional casualties among hostages hiding in those tunnels. He cautioned against full occupation, suggesting it could overburden the Israeli military and cause unforeseen collateral damage.
