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

As the world watches the conflict in Gaza, it’s critical to understand Hamas’s strategy. By provoking Israeli military responses to maximize civilian casualties, Hamas exploits these tragedies for global condemnation. This isn’t just human shielding; it’s a human sacrifice strategy designed to manipulate opinion and create instability. All of this is part of their broader jihad, which combines violence with strategic propaganda to achieve their goal: the destruction of Israel.

The tragic events of September 11 are a haunting reminder of the horrors of terrorism and the devastating impact of war. Our deepest aspiration is for a world filled with peace, yet 9/11 stands as a constant testament to the unity of Afghanistan and other nations in the fight against terrorism, despite the many sacrifices made along the way. It is imperative for the global community to rally behind Afghanistan during these challenging times. Recognizing the significance of resolute leadership, President Bush's resolve to combat terrorism in Afghanistan played a pivotal role in preventing the recurrence of a similar tragedy for the past two decades. The need for strong leadership remains crucial to safeguard the United States and the world, urging for leaders who can enhance safety and strength while making sound decisions to ensure a better future. God bless the world 🌎
