"All along the watchtower

Princes kept the view

While all the women came and went

Barefoot servants too

Outside, in the distance

A wildcat did growl

Two riders were approaching

The wind began to howl" - B. Dylan. 

"Israel building watchtowers and outposts in Gaza in sign of post-war ambitions"

GRAND STRATEGY ISRAEL THE GAZAN WAR? 

To a degree already being implemented even while hostilities continue.

"Israel says it is building 'temporary' structures in Gaza. Palestinians believe they are here to stay"

From https://inews.co.uk | By Kieron Monks | June 5, 2024 |  https://tinyurl.com/mth56r2f

"Satellite imagery shows that as the Israeli military has reduced much of Gaza to ruins, it is also building watchtowers, outposts and roads across the occupied territory, offering possible clues over its post-war vision."

"The army’s engineers have been constructing extensive infrastructure, while razing Palestinian land and property to clear space for the development, and creating a 'buffer zone' that stretches around the enclave’s perimeter."

"The most significant new landmark is the Netzarim Corridor, a highway cutting through the center of the Strip, from Israeli territory to the coast, which has been under development throughout the war."

Grand strategy defined rather loosely but normally includes: * Harnessing the entire resources of a nation for a war effort. * Bringing allied forces into the fray on your side. * Planning for the end/aftermath of the war.
