Abstract

Israel, which has put forward an expansionist policy within the framework of its political ambitions since the first day of its establishment, does not hesitate to use its military power without recognizing any rules. In this context, the aim of this course is to analyze Israel's military operations in Gaza and to reveal the military approaches carried out. In the study, a detailed content analysis of the five military operations considered as comparative case studies was carried out and evaluation was made within the framework of the military tactics and strategies applied. As a result of the operations carried out by Israel, it is considered that the ongoing cycle of violence and conflicts in Gaza will not end soon, and peace will not prevail in the region. Considering that Israel has not been able to fully achieve its goals in all the operations it is evaluated that Israel will continue new operations both in Gaza and the region in the future.

İsrail’in Gazze’de Güç Kullanımı ve İcra Ettiği Askeri Operasyonlar

Abstract

Kurulduğu ilk günden günümüze siyasi emelleri çerçevesinde yayılmacı bir politika ortaya koyan İsrail, Ortadoğu coğrafyasında ve özellikle de Gazze’de askeri gücünü hiçbir kural tanımadan kullanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda İsrail’in Gazze’de icra ettiği operasyonlar derinlemesine incelenerek askeri güç kullanma yaklaşımlarının ortaya koyulması amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada İsrail’in 2008’den günümüze kadar gerçekleştirmiş olduğu beş askeri operasyon karşılaştırmalı vaka analizi kapsamında incelenmiştir. İsrail’in icra ettiği operasyonlar sonunda Gazze’de devam eden şiddet sarmalı ve çatışmalar döngüsünün yakın bir zaman içerisinde sonlanmayacağı ve bölgede barışın hâkim olamayacağı görülmektedir. İsrail’in gerçekleştirdiği Gazze operasyonlarında hedeflerine tam olarak ulaşamadığı göz önüne alındığında ilerleyen dönem içerisinde İsrail’in gerek Gazze gerekse de bölge üzerinde yeni harekât ve operasyonlara devam edeceği değerlendirilmektedir.
