An Israeli military officer recently stated that "the upcoming war on Gaza will be greater, and will down more victims," Israeli sources say.
According to the PNN, Eyal Eizenberg, Israeli Occupation Army Home Front Command, said during a lecture at the Institute for National Security Studies (Tel Aviv University), that "the recent assault on Gaza is not at all similar to the upcoming war that the Israeli army is preparing for."
He added that "the future war will require stronger abilities and more sacrifices to pay a bigger price."
Finally, he stated that "the main lesson we got from the Gaza assault was represented in the necessity of readiness of the home front, and the ability to provide services to the people in cases of emergency."
Al Ray reports that a recent Israeli public opinion poll showed that 74% of Israelis now prefer political settlement with Palestinians rather than a military one.
Over 2, 000 people were killed in the latest Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip, most of whom were civilians, and nearly 600 of them children. Some 11,000 were seriously inured, with many scarred and even maimed for life.

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Wednesday advanced into the southern areas of the Gaza Strip and bulldozed Palestinians’ cultivated lands. An on-the-spot observer working for Quds Press said a group of Israeli occupation bulldozers and armored jeeps flowed from the Kissufim military site, north of Khan Younis, and advanced some 300 meters into the southeastern part of the city.
The incursion was carried out under a heavy military shield provided by a drove of Israeli reconnaissance planes.
The invading bulldozers razed large tracts of Palestinians’ agricultural lands amid heavy firing of random barrages of gunshots, in a renewed flagrant violation of the Cairo-brokered truce accord signed with Hamas on August 26.
An atrocious Israeli offensive rocked the besieged Gaza Strip for 51 uninterrupted days, starting from July 7. Official statistics reported the murder of at least 2,158 Palestinians, mostly children and women, and the wounding of 11,000 others.
Meanwhile, head of the Israeli internal front, Eyal Eisenberg, warned in a lecture he delivered at the institute for national security studies at Tel Aviv University that Israel’s next offensive on Gaza is very likely to reap more casualties and shed more blood.
According to Eisenberg, the latest Gaza aggression cannot in any possible way be compared to the well-weaved war scenarios prepared by the Israeli army for future rounds.
“The next fight requires greater skills, greater sacrifices, and greater prices to be paid,” he pledged.
