Well in a brief moment of wild optimism...something has put the brake on hasn't it? The 24 hour deadline was a long time ago now, BN said they were fully ready on Saturday I think...not that it's stopping them bombing still of course but this invasion isn't happening...yet.

Just now, would that matter? Temporary relocation to somewhere with food and shelter is better than dying.
I'm more 'pro Israel' than probably anyone else on the boards, but I cannot condone the wholesale massacre of non-combatants. Hamas embeds it's attack sites within the civil population, in the full knowledge that counter-strikes will kill people who are not involved in the acts of war. This is despicable.
However this ends, if it ever ends, it is neither Hamas nor Israel that does most of the bleeding and dying, it is the ordinary people of Gaza, and this is not acceptable.

Not necessarily, this could always have been the plan, to convince Hamas a ground operation was imminent. No one here knows.

Yeah I was wondering that, maybe some US pressure and the knowledge that it'll almost certainly escalate along their northern border and likely wider regionally if they go into Gaza.

I think it might be delayed until after Biden has been and gone.

This is more about reprisals from the US and IDF if Iran enter the fray.
What I am interested in is views on how Irans involvement might manifest itself?

You want to do this here, ok
"The day after London won the Olympic bid, terrorists attacked the transport network killing 52 people."
"It was the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil."
"52 people, not including the four terrorists, lost their lives in the 7/7 London bombings"
"The terrorists bought, without restrictions, large quantities of liquid oxygen"
"victims of the 7/7 terror attacks"
The Simpson piece was disingenuous. They use the terrorism descriptor all the time.

I haven't seen this mentioned here yet. Israel gives Gazans the order to evacuate southwards, then attacks them on the prescribed evacuation routes:

Some video analysis I watched yesterday painted Iran in a very difficult place for any involvement.
They're weak internally and any significant intervention will result in them being hit very heavily by Israel, and quite possibly the US, to which they have no real match for. Yet their whole being is founded on confrontation with The Great Satan, so doing nothing will also likely weaken them significantly in the medium/longer term as well.

I find the inevitable running out of supplies particularly grim. With the bombing there's a lottery and you can hope you're lucky, but there's a grim certainty for everyone with no water, no food, no fuel, no blood banks (in two weeks time), no pain killers.
No painkillers, water, food shortages: What to know about Gaza situation

The State of Israel's official Instagram account is getting into a flame war with Gigi Hadid, because they deem her insufficiently furious at Hamas.
They seem absolutely obsessed with repressing the slightest hint of criticism, from any quarter, no matter how insignificant.
One would have thought a nation state would, officially at least, want to stay above such petty squabbles.
But they can't. They really can't. They can't tolerate criticism. It must be guilt.

To quote Gabriel Byrne in Miller's Crossing: "Yew don' hold elected office in dis town Leo. Yew only run i' cuz people tink yew run i'. Something Biden might want to chew on.kill over a thousand civillians in one day and your get an Emotional response. Israel will hit back the US and British response is to attempt to keep the lid on things and warn off anybody else planning to throw more petrol on the dumpster fire.

They don't have much of an airforce at all, most of it is made up of local knockoffs of the Northrop-F5 an American design from the 50's with some not quite as elderly Russian (and Chinese knockoffs thereoff) kit. The most effective aircraft they have are some pre-Revolutionary era F-14 Tomcats (about 30 or 40) from the 80's.
