The high Israeli security alert throughout the events of the so-called ‘Flag March’ on Thursday and Friday partially contradicts Tel Aviv’s declarations of a “resounding Israeli victory” in the recent aggression on Gaza, an Israeli enemy report said on Friday, according to al- Manar.
In an analysis, Haaretz’ military correspondent Amos Harel referred to statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who boasted that “Israel struck the Islamic Jihad in a way that will not be forgotten, and changed the deterrence equation.”
Harel considered that Thursday’s security tensions and the multiple consultations that were held before the ‘Flag March testified to the real situation, that “Israel was not at all sure of its victory, and feared a violent reaction from the Gaza Strip, which could lead to a military escalation again in the region.”
