Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Korn discusses the preliminary assessment report on the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, published by JINSA. The report aims to provide a perspective on the conflict through the lens of experienced combatant commanders from the United States. The report highlights the importance of assessing the legality, legitimacy, and effectiveness of a military campaign through the lens of experienced leaders. It also addresses the misunderstanding of proportionality in international law and the challenges of fighting an enemy that embeds itself in the civilian population. The report emphasizes the need for a clear strategic objective and plan for the day after the conflict.

The biggest story of the week was the hostage rescue in Gaza, where four Israelis who were held captive for over seven months were rescued by Israel Special Forces. The rescue operation was daring and successful, with all four hostages returning in relatively good health. However, the mainstream media twisted the narrative and focused on the number of Palestinians killed during the operation, without considering that many of them were Hamas militants. The media headlines and articles portrayed Israel as the aggressor and downplayed the heroic rescue mission. This highlights the bias and lack of critical thinking in mainstream media.
