The Israeli Security Theory | 🧵

🔻First: The First Stage (1948-1956)
Despite the significance of the first round in 1948 in laying the foundations and essence of the security theory, the stage of military organization and building strength extended between 1949 and November 1956. During that stage, Ben-Gurion began to formulate the Israeli security theory, basing it on several pillars, emphasizing the necessity of relying primarily on European countries for armament to build Israeli defense capability.

General Yigael Yadin (who was the second Chief of Staff of the Israeli army) played a prominent role during the later stages of the 1948 war and afterward in developing some aspects of this theory, especially regarding the small active army, large reserve army, and indirect approach strategy as a suitable method for executing Israeli military operations based on the principle of surprise warfare and considering the principle of maximizing the economy of force to the fullest extent possible. Thus, General Yigael Yadin laid down the foundations and mechanisms of the Israeli security theory and determined its tools, relying on several principles:
- Shifting from defense to offense
- Seizing the initiative
- Taking action without being restricted to reacting
- Relying on airpower, and placing it at the forefront of Israeli military strategy.

Based on these principles, Ben-Gurion arrived at the following key elements of the security theory:

1. Encouraging Jewish immigration to Israel:
Human resources constitute one of the key capabilities of a state, so it is necessary to work on attracting Jews from around the world to Israel, considering it one of the main components and objectives of the Israeli security theory. This immigration preparedness gave Israel scientific and technical superiority over Arab countries without any costs. Israel planned for successive waves of immigration, which constituted the most effective element in maintaining the state's existence. This remained one of the main elements of the Israeli security theory for a long period.

2. Fragmenting Arab unity:
The first stage of the 1948 war posed a serious threat to Israel's establishment despite limited coordination of Arab military efforts against it. Therefore, Israel, from the outset, realized the impossibility of achieving strategic balance with the Arabs united, thus focusing on continuously working to fragment their unity, whether individually or in cooperation with major powers. Israel considered this one of the main elements of its security theory, which it still adheres to today.

3. The Short Surprise War:
The shortage of manpower made it impossible for Israel to sustain a state of general mobilization for a long period, leading to almost complete paralysis of the economy due to the high percentage of its workforce during full mobilization in wartime (up to 40%). In addition, its natural and economic resources did not allow it to bear the cost of a long-term war. Therefore, the Israeli security theory relied on the doctrine of the short war, based on a small active army and a large reserve army that could be mobilized at the right time and place.

4. Ensuring the support of a powerful ally:
This is related to the nature of Israel's emergence and development in the region, as David Ben-Gurion remained committed to the idea of the necessity of creating an alliance between Israel and one of the great powers. This was a natural result of its being a foreign body, and thus it had no choice but to have an organic connection, like any parasitic organism, with the body of another power, in order to derive reasons for security and life.

The reliance in the pre-independence stage was on the influence of the UK in the region, which granted the Zionists the Balfour Declaration and nurtured them until the state was established in 1948.

🔻 Palestinian Islamic Jihad:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement exalts to our people and the masses of our nation the ascension of two martyrs from Saraya Al-Quds - Jenin Brigade, namely the martyr Basil Ayman Al-Ghazawi, his brother Mohammed Ayman Al-Ghazawi, and the martyr Mohammed Jalamneh from Al-Qassam Brigades, who were martyred during the occupation army’s storming of Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin. The martyr Basil Ayman Al-Ghazawi was undergoing treatment there, accompanied by his brother, the martyr Mohammed Ayman Al-Ghazawi, and their companion, the martyr Mohammed Jalamneh.

The army of the zionist enemy storming the Ibn Sina Hospital this morning after its special units disguised themselves in civilian clothes and assassinated three young men inside - a patient and two companions - is a new breach of humanitarian norms and international laws. It rises to the level of a war crime, the kind of crimes that the enemy has long been accustomed to committing.

We affirm that the resistance forces, and our Palestinian people in the West Bank in general, and Jenin in particular, will not let this crime pass without an appropriate response.

It is indeed a jihad of victory or martyrdom

🧵The Israeli security Theory | part II

As Shimon Peres proposed his idea advocating for Israeli deterrence following the 1956 war and its failed strategic outcomes (although successful militarily), emphasizing the necessity for self-reliant nuclear capability, constituting deterrence through ambiguity.

These inclinations led to an integrated framework crystallizing Israeli security theory after the 1956 war. Drawing on experiences, particularly from the second round, they developed a partially integrated security theory, guiding the 1967 round. Its main components were: (In addition to the main elements outlined by Ben-Gurion and previously addressed on Part I).

🔺A. Principle of Superiority and Deterrence: Due to the imbalance in the Israeli-Arab power dynamics favoring the Arabs concerning key strategic factors related to human resources, territory, economic and natural resources, Israeli security theory relied on the necessity for its army to have qualitative superiority in terms of weapons, equipment, organization, training, leadership, and morale, enabling it to compensate for quantitative deficiencies (assuming full Arab force mobilization in armed confrontation with Israel, an assumption that has not materialized so far).
This military force must possess a deterrent capability and practical decisive potential simultaneously.

Yigal Allon expressed this by stating: "The army capable of winning the war is the unitary army that deters... and hope for deterrence does not depend solely on military power, but rather on the assurance that this power will be used appropriately and decisively."

🔺B. Preemptive Counterattack (Transferring the battle to enemy territory): Israeli security theory adopted the idea of swiftly transferring the war to enemy territories upon the outbreak of any comprehensive war, to shield Israel from the harms and risks of war and provide better offensive maneuver opportunities for Israeli forces, according to the doctrine of Blitzkrieg warfare, given Israel's lack of strategic depth (which Israel unsuccessfully attempted to compensate for by establishing a network of fortified settlements on the borders and internally, to serve as indirect strategic depth).

The concept evolved into the principle of preemptive attack (as one of the principles of war), preceding any potential Arab attack (preemptive action). General Tal referred to this by saying: "All the factors that gave the Arabs superiority were present between the Sinai campaign (in 1956) and the Six-Day War (in 1967), as well as for our superiority factors, such as quality and internal lines. Thus, there was no change in the strategy of transferring the war to enemy territory, nor did our offensive concept change, except that between the 1956 campaign and the Six-Day War, we adopted the principle of the importance of delivering the first blow as well, not just transferring the battle to enemy territory, but also attempting to deliver the first decisive blow."

Allon considered the 1956 war, in which Israel launched the attack, as a model of preemptive counterattack, since Egypt intended to undertake it (Israel claimed this based on egyptian-czech arms deal 1955, which they believed would threaten Israel), justifying it by saying: "The adoption of a purely defensive strategy that allows the enemy to freely choose the time, place, and method of its attack, means exposing Israel to the gravest dangers. The only response to any threat of attack is comprehensive initiative on Israel's part, with a preemptive counterattack if necessary, to defeat the enemy's forces. Therefore, the Israeli Defense Forces must advance to the necessary extent to ensure the defeat of the enemy's forces and create a new strategic situation that provides more secure boundaries to confront any future attacks, occupy the enemy's territories, and retain them until peace is achieved and permanent strategic boundaries are determined."

In the dark night, the enemy stormed the Glory and Resilience Camp, the Nour Shams Camp, for several hours and wreaked havoc, destruction, and sabotage of the infrastructure and property. He thought by doing this that he would break the strength and patience of our people in the camp. No, by God, he is delusional. He does not know that his people are people of steadfastness and nobility who will not bow down and break before the oppression of the enemies on them. Ages have passed..
If this destruction relieves the bitterness of the enemies, then we will sacrifice the land and honor
Stand firm, O stubborn camp, let neither destruction nor treacherous enemy deter us
Our heads are as high as the mountains
Our souls are strong and our rifles have not rusted yet
We will remain as long as the soul remains in the body
That stubborn camp does not bow to a rogue
There is no fleeting enemy, and this is God’s promise

Your soldiers on all fronts are waiting for them until we put their heads under the feet of our children
Death Alley is not dead yet because its interior is ablaze and behind it are men who love death and killing for the sake of God
With our rifles drawn in their chests and our constitution in our chests until we meet God

Oh God, grant us quick victory and a clear conquest
The reward is great, so be patient until you achieve it.
“And God loves those who are patient.”

Our jihad continues and our weapons are deployed in all arenas
It is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.

"I want to say in the clearest way - the State of Israel has two goals in the Gaza Strip, and a significant condition in order to implement them. The two goals are the elimination of Hamas as a military and governmental organization, and the return of the kidnapped to their homes. The condition in order to realize this, is unity at the national level. If we are not united, the only party that will benefit is Hamas. To realize the goals of the war, you have to go together. It's true at the military level, it happens all the time at the security level, it's true at the national - public level and it's also true at the governmental - political level, and I think we should all lend our hands to this matter.'
