The Telegraph: As a former US general, I know the West can and must stand against both Russia and Iran

Since the Hamas massacre in Israel, there have been discussions about Israel's right to self-defense and the effectiveness of targeted operations. However, limited operations in the past have not been successful, and Israel's goal of rescuing hostages, preventing future attacks, and capturing those responsible would require a large-scale ground operation. This operation would involve intense firefights in densely populated areas and would be challenging due to the vast network of tunnels underground. While there are valid criticisms of Israel's approach, the geographical constraints of Gaza make any operation highly destructive and with civilian casualties.
