The Israeli occupation forces announced Sunday that officer Daniel Perets was killed in Gaza. However, it was revealed that he was killed on October 7, 2023, and his body has been in Gaza with the Palestinian Resistance since.

The military clarified, under the cleared for publication clause, that Perets was a captain and a military leader, indicating that he was driving a tank in the settlement of "Nahal Oz" before being killed in the surprise attack launched on the morning of October 7th.

While the resistance continues to confront the Israeli forces deep inside the strip, inflicting heavy losses on them in terms of equipment and lives, the Israeli occupation forces have so far admitted to the death of 592 soldiers since the start of the aggression on Gaza.

Amid these increasing losses, Israeli Reserve General Itzhak Brik said that "Israel" has "lost the war against Hamas, and continues to lose its allies around the world."

In an op-ed for the Israeli newspaper Maariv, Brik stated that "Israel's" goal to defeat Hamas has been completely wiped off the war agenda. Meanwhile, the goal of bringing captives back is yet to be achieved, amid the "army's failure to return captives alive."

In this context, Brik affirmed that "the maneuver that the entire Israeli people cheered for did not stand the test and did not achieve the result that everyone had hoped for," and explained that "Security Minister Yoav Gallant and Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi managed the war with a tactical vision instead of a strategic vision. While the war cannot be won in tactical battles alone."

He also said "Israel" cannot continue lying to its people, because what is happening in Gaza and on the northern front against Hezbollah will come back to blow up in their faces, revealing the reality of matters. 

He slammed the strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities "Israel" lacks because they "prefer to live in delusion, and deal with images that please their audience and the army."

"Israel's" most dangerous failure

Brik pointed out that “The Chief of Staff has been isolated, silent, and at a loss of control of the ground for a long time, so he began appointing colonels and lieutenants in his likeness and image.”

He said this in itself is a scandal and "the most dangerous failure" since the establishment of the Israeli military. Instead of claiming responsibility for his actions, Brik said, the Chief of Staff decided to reinforce the generation of chaos that he heads with the brigade officers, who share this failure with him.

He added that soldiers are getting killed and injured daily as a result of the hasty and negligible inspection of the homes they enter in Gaza, which are booby-trapped with explosives. 

"This must be stopped immediately,” Brik said, stressing that “if the political and military paths continue in this manner, we will find ourselves in a much worse situation than it was before the attack on the Gaza Strip began.”

He proceeded, "If the army does not succeed in returning some captives alive, this war will be publically shaped as the worst failure in Israel's wars since its founding, whether from the terrible blow it received from Hamas on October 7, or from the abject failure to fight in the Gaza Strip."
