Strategy Central’s Post

The first and second battles of Fallujah, Iraq (2004) offer important insights into the complexities of urban warfare and the importance of strategic patience, planning, and adaptability. Both battles of Fallujah teach that in modern warfare, winning the peace is as important as winning the war. This is true for any government attempting to assert control over a large group of people in an urban environment. The current battle in Gaza is a great example of how the IDF could apply these lessons by adopting a strategy that protects civilians and builds trust, transforming tactical victories into sustainable strategic successes.  There is likely no other strategy to give peace a chance. https://lnkd.in/eEMpUds4
