Pentagon: Ground attack on Gaza will be very difficult because of Hamas tunnels.
The US Defense Secretary said in an interview on Sunday that a ground attack on Gaza would be very difficult because of the tunnels created by Hamas.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Sunday that Washington maintains the right to defend itself and will never hesitate to take appropriate measures to support its forces.
He was interviewed by the ABC news channel and added: “We advise any country or group that wants to expand the conflict or wants to use it not to do this.”
The US defense minister said: “We will not hesitate to take military action if the conflict spreads.”
“A ground attack on Gaza would be very difficult because of the tunnels that Hamas has created,” Austin added.
On the other hand, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, at noon today, Sunday, October 22, while attending the northern borders of the occupied territories, repeated his claims about the war with the Lebanese Hezbollah movement and described the Gaza war as “a war of life and death for Israel”.
According to the report of the “Russia Day” news channel, despite being aware of the fear of the Zionists in confronting Hezbollah, Netanyahu admitted: If Hezbollah decides to enter the war, it has shown its desire for a second war with us in Lebanon.
In this speech, Netanyahu called Hezbollah’s entry into the Gaza war a “fatal mistake” and claimed that we would hit him with a force he could not even imagine; The situation in Lebanon will be devastating.
These claims are made by Netanyahu while the Hebrew media in recent days had repeatedly warned and stated about the expansion of conflicts with the entry of the Lebanese Hezbollah into the Gaza war: the Lebanese Hezbollah uses the “confusion” strategy to confuse the Israeli army; This movement has achieved everything it wanted in the conflicts and has even scared Tel Aviv of the consequences of a ground attack on Gaza.
