Chapter 287
After the Hebron Agreement was signed in early 1997, the city was divided into 2 parts, H1 and H2.
The H1 area has 120,000 Palestinians.
However, when Hamas invaded Hebron.
It immediately attracted a warm welcome from many Palestinians in the city of Hebron.
01 Although this city has always been ruled by Israel, in fact,
Israel is not popular in this city. The Palestinians in this city have launched several uprisings, but they have all been suppressed.
For this reason, many Palestinians were implicated.
This further deepened the hatred between the two sides.
This time Hamas invaded Hebron, letting these Palestinian people see hope.
Because for decades, not for a single day could Palestinian armed forces attack here.
Most importantly, this is only 30 kilometers away from Jerusalem, the holy land in the hearts of Palestinians.
Once Hamas can take this southern stronghold.
Hamas's next target can point directly to the holy land of Jerusalem.
Of course, for Israel, Jerusalem is also a holy land they absolutely cannot lose.
In fact, although Israel's capital is Tel Aviv, in reality, in the hearts of Israel, Jerusalem is their capital.
It's just that only a few countries in the world, such as the United States and Guatemala, admit this.
Naturally, in Hebron, Hamas and the Israel Defense Forces engaged in fierce fighting.
Although Israel has advanced equipment such as Merkava main battle tanks and ATMOS 2000 self-propelled artillery systems.
But with the support of Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Hamas is no longer the poor guy who could only use seamless steel pipes and gas tanks as weapons.
At this time, Hamas can be said to be newly equipped.
Although most of them are cheap firepower like RPGs and Katyushas,
but seeing Syria make the United States lose face, Hamas, with high morale, has not low lethality against Israel with this firepower.
In the short time of less than a month since the two sides started the war.
Israeli soldiers have died by the thousands.
It can be said that Hamas has fully demonstrated the bravery of Palestine.
In addition, more and more Palestinians have begun to join this organization.
This has made Hamas unprecedentedly powerful.
As the war unfolded, even another Palestinian armed force, Fatah, began to join the war.
In fact, regarding this action of Hamas or the Palestinians,
the Israeli authorities did not predict it in advance at all, which led to their serious lack of preparation in the early stages of the war.
This is also why Hamas could break through and invade the southern stronghold of Hebron.
Or rather, Israel seriously underestimated the Palestinian armed forces.
They thought that they had blockaded Gaza, and even daily necessities like water needed to be supplied by Israel,
so the Palestinians could hardly organize any resistance.
However, it is clear that Israel absolutely did not expect the DWS platform to appear.
And its appearance gave the Palestinians the hope of real resistance.
Otherwise, Hamas, lacking guns and ammunition, could only use local methods to manufacture some seamless steel pipe rockets,
which had very limited lethality and would be met with severe retaliation.
Unlike now, fighting urban warfare, these Palestinians are not afraid of the Israelis at all.
The two sides engaged in fierce fighting in Hebron.
Even if Israel has tanks and other equipment, it has no advantage against Hamas.
After all, among the arms stockpiled by Hamas, the most are RPG rockets.
Because they knew they might encounter attacks from Israeli armored forces,
so Hamas purchased a large number of PG-7VL warheads. This kind of warhead has a larger warhead and stronger attack power,
and can penetrate about 500mm thick RHA, which is about twice the armor-piercing capability of the initial RPG's PG-7V.
Even the Israeli Merkava main battle tank,
basically becomes a scrap iron coffin after one shot.
And such a weapon, on the DWS platform,
the price of a shell plus an RPG rocket launcher is less than 200 US dollars.
This kind of asymmetric warfare,
allows Hamas to keep fighting even when facing the well-equipped Israeli army.
The only thing Hamas can do nothing about is
the Israeli Air Force.
I don't know whose idea it was, in order to hinder the Palestinian advance.
The Air Force began to frequently bomb the Gaza Strip, especially places like hospitals and schools.
Causing a great humanitarian disaster.
But facing the accusations of various countries in the United Nations,
the speech of the Israeli representative at the UN General Assembly was:
"This is just revenge for what Hamas did... As for the so-called humanitarian disaster, they should be looking for Hamas!"
To this, the John Bull representative expressed support.
The United States also agreed.
Even the EU President stated that this is Israel's right to fight back.
Facing Israel's arrogant attitude.
Especially since many Palestinian fighters are worried about the safety of the rear,
Hamas had no choice but to learn from Syria and hoped to hire the DWS platform to take action.
To teach those Israeli Air Force a lesson.
Seeing this 10 million US dollar employment commission.
Lin Yi thought about it, and it was indeed time to teach Israel a lesson.
Come to think of it, the last time Israel provoked the Dragon Nation at the UN General Assembly,
Lin Yi still remembered it.
Although he didn't care about that 10 million US dollars, as an arms dealer.
What he fears most is the tilting of the balance of victory between the two sides.
The land battle between the two sides is a contest of tactics, courage, and equipment.
In this regard, Hamas is not lacking in courage and tactics; the only thing lagging behind is equipment.
But if the quality is not good, quantity can make up for it.
Hamas also found a way to deal with Israel.
Use an RPG that costs less than 200 US dollars to trade for a latest Israeli Merkava main battle tank.
At this rate of consumption, even if the Israeli army has more money, it will be difficult to afford it.
However, the only thing is the Israeli Air Force.
Hamas has no way at all,
and Hamas, having lost air superiority, is in a very unfavorable position in the entire war situation.
If the Israeli army is allowed to keep attacking Gaza like this, Hamas's morale will definitely be affected,
and perhaps it will collapse as a whole, handing over such a good situation to others.
After thinking about it, Lin Yi decided to accept this employment.
However, this time he didn't plan to use the J-20 from last time.
Instead, he used the US 2020 F-22 fighter jet.
Combined with his 10% bonus from the "True Arms Dealer" title.
Since the United States itself has not yet fully equipped the F-35C fighter jet, Israel currently only has a pile of F-16C/D/I fighter jets and F-15A/B/C/D/I fighter jets in terms of air force.
Of course, these fighter jets have been accumulated over the years, and there are quite a few of them, as many as hundreds.
