In every war there are many battles.

Historically it has been proven time and time again that the loss or victory of a major war is usually determined by the results of one important battle.

Thus, and it sounds strange and contrary to logic, in one particular battle in the war will determine everything.

This was also the case in the Six Day War in 1967 when the fighter jets of the Israel Air Force and the IDF destroyed the Egyptian Air Force in the first 3 hours of the war.

The meaning of this move already determined on the first day of the outbreak of the war the final results of the war which were a tremendous victory.

This was also the case in the Yom Kippur War in 1973 when the IDF divisions, after breaking the road to the Suez Canal, crossed the canal and completed the encirclement of the Third Egyptian Army.

It is absolutely clear that without the move to the western side of the canal and the encirclement of the Third Army, the Yom Kippur War would have ended in defeat despite the great achievements on the Syrian front.

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTROLLING THE PHILADELPHIA AXIS

The Philadelphi axis is 14 km long and a small number of hundreds of meters wide

The importance of the axis that forms the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip is in preventing the supply of ammunition and the means to produce ammunition to Hamas and the other terrorist organizations in Gaza.

This must be clear to everyone. In any situation where the axis is not completely controlled, this will mean a loss to Israel.

Even if, as an alternative to the IDF, Egyptian soldiers or Palestinian Authority personnel and/or UN soldiers and/or European soldiers will rule there, and in the best case, US soldiers, even if cameras are installed along the entire axis, including at the Rafah crossing, which is on the ground, an axis The main smuggling.

It is clear that the smuggling of the military and on a huge scale will resume and immediately, the warehouses of the smugglers are overflowing.

WHY? BECAUSE OF THE LIVELIHOOD

This is the desire of the Bedouin population in North Sinai and the residents of Rafah and the Egyptian officers in the sector whose entire livelihood is from smuggling.

This is also the desire of the Egyptian government, this is how they achieved the reduction of Bedouin resistance to Egyptian control in North Sinai.

Conclusion, without full control of the IDF in the Philadelphia axis and the continuation of the tight naval blockade on the Strip, Hamas will restore its power and this in a very short period of time.

Without full IDF control over the Philadelphia axis, the war will return and this time it will be much more difficult.
