Military analyst Colonel Berthold Sandtner from the Army’s Land Defense Academy provides a deep insight into the brutal course of the war between Israel and Hamas in the krone.tv interview: “The difference between the current war situation after the ceasefire of some days and the earlier one is that the fighting is now taking place in the south of the Gaza Strip.
At the start of its ground offensive, the Israeli army called on the Palestinian civilian population to leave the embattled north and flee to the south of the Gaza Strip. But now there is also more and more fighting there. Sandtner’s conclusion: “The civilian population is practically pieces on a chessboard and is being pushed around.”
The military analyst compares Hamas’ brutal terrorist attack on October 7, which killed more than a thousand Israelis, with the brutal actions of Islamic State a few years ago: “IS was just as brutal. It is unbelievable the actions that hateful fighters are willing to do.”
Regarding the future of the war and the further status of the Gaza Strip, Sandtner also lacks clear answers: “It is like the famous ‘one million question’ and cannot be answered at the moment. Gaza will remain part of Israel. But what status and who will lead the government there in the future is still completely unclear at the moment.’ Hamas is currently under enormous pressure due to the fighting in the north and south of the Gaza Strip.
