On Schrödinger Brigade – Harel in Haaretz:

‘The secret, which has still been kept relatively well, is that there is almost no fighting going on in the Gaza Strip. Israel may have ended the cease-fire in practice, with the aerial attacks on March 18 that cost the lives of some 400 Palestinians, including senior Hamas officials and hundreds of women and children – but since then, the two sides have not really returned to battle.
The Israel Defense Forces operates three divisional headquarters in the Gaza Strip, but they have taken control of only limited territory on the outskirts of the Gaza Strip and are not really advancing inward, into what is left of the built-up urban areas.’

‘In fact, this was an offensive operation that required about a company of troops and did not run into any opposition. At the same time, the military says the goal of the operation is to eliminate Hamas' Rafah brigade. But the IDF had already announced the collapse of the brigade and its defeat on September 12, 2024, two weeks after Hamas murdered six hostages in a tunnel near the border between Gaza and Egypt.
A magic trick: we made the Rafah Brigade disappear – and now here it is again. Maybe it's actually the Schrödinger Brigade – it exists and doesn't exist at the same time.’

‘It has been stated many a time that Netanyahu is the sum of his fears. At the moment, because of the passage of the state budget and dubious political deals, his government is still relatively stable.
Later, it's likely he will be forced to continue to maneuver between contradictory demands, from Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on one side and Trump on the other side. We can only hope he is still more afraid of Trump.’

(…)

‘In fact, the pilots and navigators – the vast majority of whom no longer actively serve in the reserves – opted for what, in their view, is a restrained protest under impossible circumstances. Moreover, the IDF's response could create an even larger crisis, almost out of nothing.
It ignores everything that infuriates the signers of the letter: The government's alienation from the hostages, the unrestrained and frequent attacks by Netanyahu against the security forces and the steadily diminishing credibility of the Israeli position, most recently after the IDF was caught in a crude lie regarding the killing of the convoy of medical workers in Rafah.
Instead of acting as if Smotrich, National Missions Minister Orit Strock and journalist Amit Segal were sitting alongside him in the cockpit, it would have been better if Bar would have exchanged a few words with his predecessors who commanded the Air Force.’

That’s indeed a secret, that the war in Gaza ended? Just now and then some ambulances are being bombed.

It was Saddam who apparently invaded Kuwait to keep his soldiers busy.

The Schrödinger Brigade is a beautiful invention.
The failures of Israeli intelligence on and before October 7, 2023, can be explained in exactly the same manner. It was just a bunch of Schrödinger Brigades. I’m not sure if Netanyahu is more afraid of Trump than of Smotrich.

We will see. In the meantime the war that secretly ended continues.
