A retired high-ranking CIA official doubts that Israel will engage in the full-scale ground invasion of Gaza that has seemed likely since the Hamas terrorist group’s devastating Oct. 7 land, sea, and air assault on the Jewish state.
Darrell Blocker told a crowd of about 100 people at an Atlanta synagogue on Oct. 12 that an invasion doesn’t make strategic sense for Israel. He said Israeli tanks won’t be able to get through or maneuver in Gaza’s crowded streets, now filled with building rubble from the bombing.
