Makes you wonder who's helping Palestine with intelligence.Yes. But you don't gain knowledge of zionist infrastructure and its weaknesses in a short period of time. You don't put together the amount of kit required or the training needed just like that. It's likely something no zionist 'red team' ever wargamed. hamas have proved themselves a far more formidable group than I ever anticipated, and I wonder what they'll do as a follow-up
It's safe to say it's not youMakes you wonder who's helping Palestine with intelligence.

We've already seen that article in agricola's 1432This makes for grim reading.
'So the World Knows What Happened': The Scene of Slaughter at Kibbutz Kfar Azza
I can't keep up with the thread tbh. How about having a go at all the ppl who are very obviously using phones and can't be bothered to scroll up to see what has been posted perviously eh? They subsequently repost stuff that has been already posted, it happens all the time, i go out to the pub and post this when I come back and because there are more than 1 pages to look through and i can't be arsed to look back it's so fast moving. Have a word with yourself.We've already seen that article in agricola's 1432
Lets wait for official independent confirmation. After all, we were initially led to believe Hamas attacked a peace festival when it was nothing of the sort.
Indeed.This makes for grim reading.

If you return to a fast-moving thread after a while it's simple good sense to read through the intervening pages to make sure you're not reposting something already considered.

Depends on what any ground assault follows…it’s too grim for words…Are the IDF seriously looking to occupy Gaza do you think ? could be a nightmare if they enter the city
You’re not obligated too, it’s totally cool. Not everyone can read every single post…I can't keep up with the thread tbh.

Nope, you catch yourself on for being completely uncalled-for pedantic when the entire forum is littered with duplicate links because ppl are mostly using phones and can't be bothered to scoll up.If you return to a fast-moving thread after a while it's simple good sense to read through the intervening pages to make sure you're not reposting something already considered.

I know this thank you.You’re not obligated too, it’s totally cool. Not everyone can read every single post…
Are the IDF seriously looking to occupy Gaza do you think ?
i think they will go for a ground assault but going into a built up area which is largely destroyed must present a great difficulty to any invading force, even one as well equipped and trained for urban warfare as we must (e2a assume) the idf are. The subterranean aspect will be very difficult for them as many tunnels won't appear on any maps or in their intelligence. It would have been foolish for hamas not to consider this as a possible response and, likely having learned from the civil war in Syria as well as from freely available books (eg h John poole's phantom soldier not to mention what the Americans have published on subterranean warfare) they may be in for something of a shock - in particular if reservists become embroiled in the battle.Are the IDF seriously looking to occupy Gaza do you think ? could be a nightmare if they enter the city
I'm not being pedantic for pointing out the article has already been posted. Do you honestly think that's excessive attention to detail? And I'm suggesting you scroll down from where you left the thread, not up. Posting pissed isn't a good look eitherNope, you catch yourself on for being completely uncalled-for pedantic when the entire forum is littered with duplicate links because ppl are mostly using phones and can't be bothered to scoll up.
Yeh even the stories you've quoted you've had difficulty withYou’re not obligated too, it’s totally cool. Not everyone can read every single post…

The thing is that the zionists are blazing angry and that's never good if you're making important decisions. The zionist government has said all restraints are off. That'll lead to bad decisions being made. Discipline being lost. Putting to one side the way this will play out in Palestinian non-combatants being killed, it'll likely mean it'll be an idf riot. And I'd not be surprised if that means units losing their cohesion, their shape on the ground, and while they'll doubtless kill more hamas fighters than hamas will kill of them I reckon that there's a good chance the idf will sustain greater casualties than they would if cooler heads considered the matter dispassionately before committing forcesI doubt they are looking to occupy Gaza in a pre-2005 style. I don't doubt they will make ground incursions into Gaza, probably with the intention of destroying particularly bits of the Hamas infrastructure - and let's be honest - kill lots of Hamas fighters who come out to oppose them, but I don't think the intention would be for that to be permanent. That's about not taking 'forever losses', and not tying down large swathes of the IDF's combat capability indefinitely.
I wouldn't be surprised of the Israeli's occupy some bits of the Gaza strip - possibly the border with Egypt, maybe the coast - in order to attempt to seal it more securely. Whether they'd want to do that for the longer term is tea leaves stuff.
Indeed. So is blowing up an electricity pylon.Killing people at a party is terrorism.
I know this thank you.
