“At this point, Israel could end on a high note with the demonstration to the whole world and to the experts that its skies are impenetrable and anyone who dares to venture out and try to attack will have no hope of success. If it is true that they have launched missiles of all kinds , with ballistic or guided trajectory, and rockets in the quantities mentioned, evidently the system did not even become saturated. This therefore did not happen now Israel could once again come out with its head held high and end the conflict accepting what Hamas has always asked for, a definitive cessation of hostilities with which it would then return the kidnapped Israeli citizens”. This is the analysis given to Adnkronos by General Leonardo Tricarico, former Chief of Staff of the Air Force and current president of the Icsa foundation, in the aftermath of the attack on Israel by Iran”.
“This is a hope of those who must show wisdom: international diplomacy should once again focus on this. It is to be hoped that from such a harsh and harsh war event, solutions can emerge to start a serious and definitive negotiation It's time for Israel to put common sense into play: if it insists on this line, it will lose the strategic war while the tactical one will be a Pyrrhic victory.”
Regarding the position of our country and the possible dangers, General Tricarico explains: “Italy is integrating a UN mission which no longer makes sense, because if those Italian forces were on the contact line between Lebanon and Israel to prevent activities of this type, the sense is certainly very limited. Evidently, if there is no alarm signal that could lead to the withdrawal of our forces, the assessment has been made that the risk is not that high.”
General Bertolini
“The intervention during the night confirms the fact that there was no desire on the part of Iran to cross the red line with particularly dangerous actions. It launched the drones first, which are the slowest means: it was a bit of a This 'phone call' took them hours to arrive. The defense system was pre-alerted and only at that point were the missiles launched. If it had wanted to do harm, it would have launched the missiles first, in order to catch them by surprise the defense system. The same thing happened, perhaps, when General Soleimani was killed: in that case they limited themselves to launching a few missiles in Iraqi Kurdistan against American bases with only symbolic results”. General Marco Bertolini, former commander of the IOC, said this to Adnkronos, commenting on the attack on Israel by Iran.
“A 'phone call', therefore, to save face for the use of one's own public opinion, already humiliated with the attack on Damascus and even before that with the killing of General Soleimani. However, an action, in my opinion, counterproductive – he explains – because their public opinion may be led to think that they have achieved who knows what objectives, but from an international point of view it is easy to think that it was a failure. It is an action that could then give rise to a counter-reaction: if Israel takes it as a reason to attack the missile material production plants in Iran, as he has always wanted to do, it would have an escalation. Now what happens will depend on the possible counter-reaction.”
