Leaked Israeli army document 'says it made every possible mistake' in Gaza

A leaked internal Israeli military investigation into the 'Gideon’s Chariots' operation concluded that it failed to meet its primary objectives in the Gaza Strip. The probe reportedly found that the military did not defeat Hamas or secure the release of Israeli captives. Reasons cited for the failure include manpower strain, lack of resources, inefficient preparation for guerrilla warfare, and a slow operational pace. The document also criticized the army for operating with a logic of deterrence rather than decisive victory, which ultimately benefited Hamas.
