US sends James Glynn to Israel, Iraq's urban warfare super general
James Glynn

James Glynn, the general who led the US Navy in Iraq and then the campaign to stop ISIS, is in Israel. He is one of the most experienced officers sent by the Americans to advise. This was discovered by the "Axios" website.

The Biden administration is concerned that Israel is not yet ready to launch a ground invasion with a plan that will work, the New York Times writes. All US sources are careful to point out that the US is not telling Israel "what to do", but sending Glynn - who will not remain in Israel when the offensive begins - and other soldiers serves to help analyze the challenges of an urban war.

Israel must decide, for example, whether to try to eliminate Hamas with combined strikes with those special forces (as US jets and Iraqi and Kurdish troops did in Mosul) or whether to go in with tanks and infantry (as Marines and soldiers Americans, along with Iraqi and British forces in 2004 in Fallujah).

In both cases there will be losses, but in the second they will be higher, both in civilians and in troops. Many in the Pentagon believe that the Mosul and Raqqa operations conducted more than a decade after the Fallujah intervention are a better model for urban warfare. But even in Mosul, estimates of civilians killed range from 9,000 to 11,000.

The Biden administration is also preparing for the possibility that 600,000 Americans living in Israel and Lebanon may need to evacuate if the war escalates.

The "Washington Post" writes that this would be the worst case scenario, "and there are scenarios that are considered more likely", but which should still be taken into consideration.
