The daily Haaretz revealed that one of the important elements, although symbolic, in the Israeli war plans on Iran is the bombing and destruction of the large digital clock in Palestine Square in Tehran, photographing them and then broadcasting pictures in Israel and Iran and the rest of the world as part of the psychological warfare, but the Air Force erred.
However, Defense Minister Yisrael Katz did not surrender and pledged to destroy the watch. In compliance with his orders, the Air Force prepared to launch a second blow on the last day of the war, but the intelligence and military affairs analyst Yossi Melman confirmed in his article in the newspaper that the attempt and all other targets were canceled due to the ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump, and forced – then – the warplanes to return to its bases.
According to the analysis, the countdown timer at the digital hour, which was erected in 2017, was seized until 2040, which is the year that the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, announced that Israel will be destroyed.
The daily left newspaper, issued in Tel Aviv, considered that this watch is a propaganda means for the regime that reflects its ideology, which plays a major role in hostility to Israel.
She said that the destruction of the hour was supposed to send a metaphorical message that stopping the clock index from the movement towards the date of the elimination of Israel is similar to stopping time and with it the plan of destruction.
Melman: The destruction of the hour was supposed to send a metaphorical message that stopping the clock index on the movement towards the date of the elimination of Israel is similar to stopping time and with it the plan of destruction.
Melman claims that Israel’s failure to destroy the Iranian clock has no operational importance, although its importance is – certainly – in the way its army and leaders will take advantage of the time available to them to carry out the tasks in the future.
According to the analytical article, the aid, which it obtained from the United States and other Western countries, gave Israel a golden opportunity to change its position and the path of the Middle East.
According to this, the intelligence analyst indicates that Israel can now benefit from the achievements of the war, even if it is limited, in order to reach arrangements that guarantee it to survive forever, contrary to what the Iranian hour aims.
It is believed that it is possible to conclude deals, understandings, or even at least peace agreements on most of the six fronts that Israel is fighting -since October 7, 2023 -wars in it, which are the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran.
He says that there are two main ways to achieve this, the first is to reach a solution, even partially and gradually, for the Palestinian issue. This may cause a series of positive reactions that may have an impact on most of the Arab and Islamic world.
Melman: Netanyahu, like his father, is a pessimistic that believes that the Israeli destiny to live in a permanent war because this serves his goals, either intentionally or unintentionally
As for the second way, it is to reach understandings with Iran – even if it is unofficial – then it may lead it to an end to the “unbridled” behavior that she and her agents adopt in attacking Israel.
For this, he suggested that the Israeli army be free from its intransigence regarding its perceptions and concepts, a sclerosis that leads it to the belief that possessing a few tens of square kilometers of land – in the form of buffer areas, oceans or any other term taken from a military scant – represents a guarantee of Israel’s security in the future.
Despite his agreement with the opinion that Benjamin Netanyahu is afraid of diplomatic solutions for political and electoral reasons, Melman believes that the Israeli Prime Minister is an enthusiastic ideology that derives his inspiration from the teachings of his late father, historian Bin Zion Netanyahu, “He is like him and does not believe in peaceful solutions with our neighbors.”
He is also like his father, a pessimistic who believes that the Israeli destiny to live in a permanent war because this serves his goals, either intentionally or unintentionally, in the words of the author of the article.
