What matters most, General Amidror said, are three changes: coordination between the infantry and the air force; having commanders on the ground with a clear mission and flexibility to achieve it; and methods to keep Hamas in the fog of war, which includes disinformation and impediments to real-time press coverage on the ground.

“The less Hamas understands, the better,” he said.

And the less you understand, the less Hamas understands! Shh, the enemy is listening!

There’s something to this, of course. But you can also take it to the extreme. Israel could just go completely buck-wild and pour its whole military into Gaza. Hamas won’t understand that! Why not get totally astrategic? No one can predict your actions then!

But who knows, maybe this is part of the disinformation campaign, since French President Nicolas Sarkozy is saying that Israel and the Palestinian Authority have agreed to an Egyptian/French truce proposal. Let’s hope.
