Israel’s Military Doctrine
Author: Ehud Eilam
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498575641
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Israel’s military doctrine was aimed at defeating powerful Arab militaries, mostly those of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. In the years 1948-1982 Israel and Arab states had a series of wars i.e. high intensity wars. Israel, since 1948, also dealt with guerrilla and terror attacks. Since 1982 and mostly in the last 15 years Israel faced hybrid forces, Hamas and Hezbollah. Those groups are a mix between a conventional military and a guerrilla group. Israel fought against Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006 and against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, mostly in two wars, in 2008-2009 and in 2014. This book begins with explaining Israel’s national security policy. Then it focuses on how the IDF (Israel defense forces) had to adjust its doctrine and build up to confront hybrid forces, by examining Israel’s air and the ground corps and major issues such as offense and defense, infrastructure and manpower. The IDF can inflict heavy casualties and damages to a hybrid foe. Yet destroying the latter is a tall order because Hezbollah and Hamas are too elusive, they hide inside populated areas etc. However, compared with past wars against Arab states, there is much less danger to Israel let alone to its survival since even a coalition between Hezbollah, Hamas and other groups can’t defeat the IDF. Furthermore since fighting a hybrid force is less demanding than running a high intensity war against an Arab state, then Israel does not rely that much on the United States in receiving weapon systems, ammunition and spare parts.

Israel's Second Nature
Author: Jonathan Nassim
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Israel
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Israel's military doctrine, the tacit organising principles of Israel's armed fo rces, was designed for targeting states. Developed in the 1950's, the doctrine s ought to ensure that war was fought on non-Israeli territory, that victory was a chieved as fast as possible and that attritional conflict was avoided. The doctr ine was modelled on the blitzkrieg, and sought to achieve victory by the indirec t method. This thesis establishes that Israel possessed only this one offensive doctrine, until the 1990's. During the 1990's Israel, influenced by Effects Base d Operations, changed its doctrine from combined arms to air power. The failure of Israel's second military doctrine in the July War, together with the changes in the nature of the threats facing the country, entail that the next war will u tilise combined arms, in a war of occupation and destruction, as opposed to foll owing the indirect approach, of either blitzkrieg or air power.

Key to the Sinai
Author: George Walter Gawrych

ISBN:
Category : Abu Ageila, Battle of, Abu 'Ujaylah, Egypt, 1956
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
In both the 1956 and 1967 wars, Abu Ageila was the main gateway to the Sinai for the Israel Defense Forces. Yet there were marked differences between Egyptian and Israeli war plans, preparations, operations, and results in the two battles for the area. In 1956, Israel carried the burden of a constricting alliance with Britain and France and faced other extensive military problems. The result was that Israel fought a difficult and costly battle for Abu Ageila. In contrast, in 1967, the Israel Defense Forces developed a brilliant operational plan and achieved effective unit command and control and attained a decisive victory.
