Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), with the aggressive jihad mission to violently obliterate Israel, has stated on its website that the “IDF is disintegrating before our eyes.”
The group is capitalizing upon the instability in Israel in the hope that if the situation continues, “the IDF will not be able to sufficiently address all the threats at its borders.” In a recent the Times of Israel report, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi notified Netanyahu’s government “that the army is on the verge of reducing the scope of certain operations due to the large number of reservists refusing to report for duty.” They are protesting judicial reforms. The Times of Israel quoted the New York Times as stating that the protests are over government “efforts to weaken Israel’s justice system.” The New York Times is, of course, well known for its activism rather than reporting the news. Those who voted in the Netanyahu government knew in advance about his judicial reform plan, and view it as a boost for Israel as a free society, since courts are not elected by the people.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad recently called for a third Intifada. PIJ, as well as all of Israel’s lethal enemies, are seeking to exploit the current instability in Israel, which includes the public display of chaos, which has been instigated and stirred up by leftist groups. Some among them even raised the Palestinian flag.
The UN, as well as the Biden administration, the Liberal government of Canada and many in the EU parliament have shown sympathies toward the Arab narrative, forgetting the history of the Palestinian jihad against Israel. The Left-Right divide on the Palestinian issue has now come to a head in Israel, while Palestinian Islamic Jihad, along with Israel’s worst jihadist enemies, are plotting on how to capitalize upon the chaos.
“Islamic Jihad website: IDF disintegrating before our eyes,” by Dalit Halevi, Israel National News, March 25, 2023:
The Islamic Jihad’s “Palestine al-Yum” website published an article regarding the “disintegration” taking place within the ranks of the IDF due to the recent wave of reserve duty soldiers refusing to serve. Hundreds of reserve pilots refusing to attend training exercises last week has been at the forefront of the ordeal.
Israel’s crisis has been perpetuated by an increase in external threats and the activity of the “Palestinian resistance,” according to the article.
Journalist and Israeli affairs expert Hassan Lafi, whose articles are also published on Hezbollah’s website, told the site that Israel is not only in a state of national security crisis but also an existential one.
According to him, the country’s military preparedness will be strongly weakened by the time the next regional conflict breaks out or in case of another confrontation with Palestinian Arab terrorists.
Lafi further said that the events in Israel reveal the “disintegration of the Israeli army”, since the IDF is reliant on its reserves which account for two thirds of the entire fighting force.
Lafi emphasized that the most important unit is the Air Force, and that reserve pilots refusing to take part in military exercises will cause significant damage to the army…..
