Intervju om läget i Gaza

Överstelöjtnant i reserven Jonathan Conricus ger en lägesrapport som du knappast får läsa i någon nordisk tidning.

Almost every Gaza home has tunnel shafts, IDF commander says

In an in-depth interview, ex-IDF spokesman reveals the challenges Israel faces in Gaza.

Just back from reserve duty, Lt.-Col. (res.) Jonathan Conricus, the international spokesperson for the Israel Defense and Security Forum and former international spokesperson for the IDF, gave a candid interview to The Media Line on the sidelines of the Israel Defense Conference 2024.

Conricus outlined the challenges faced by Israel. Despite substantial casualties, he affirmed the IDF’s on-the-ground efficiency and its progress in countering threats. He underscored the difficulties posed by Hamas’ use of civilian structures in Gaza for military purposes, complicating Israeli military efforts.

Among the challenges he described was the “not visually pleasing, and quite unsettling” job of searching cemeteries in the Gaza Strip for the bodies of Israeli hostages.
