For perspective, I think Ofakim is as far from Gaza as San Diego is from Mexico.

Base on that map. Israel should have no problem driving Gaza into the sea.

I think Israel has shut off electricity to Gaza.
I don’t know if they can shut off water, but I sure hope so.
If Israel shuts off water, they should fire bomb the Palestinians.

Or, we could build a wall around the entire region and fill it with water.

Gun Control working in Israel.

Citizens fully disarmed and are in a gun free zone.

Heavy artillery. The entire area is within range.

The Rave Music Festival attack was near Re’im, but much closer to the Gaza border. It took Hamas about 5 minutes to cross the border and begin shooting people, even while the IDF soldiers at the base raced to stop them.

Many soldiers died using their own bodies as shields.

The base was captured by Hamas but recaptured by the IDF a few hours later.

I think Israel has shut off electricity to Gaza.

Siege warfare is effective. Cut off all shipments. Except for air drops of wheat (but underestimate the supply by 50% so the population will starve). Launch airstrikes against Hamas targets every night. The population in Gaza will starve. So they'll flee to Egypt. The Egyptians will be forced to take them in.

I wonder if the music festival was something Hamas orchestrated or if they saw it as a target of opportunity.

Many water systems rely on electric pumps to force the water through the system.They will have to find electric generators.

If you shut off electricity pressurized water service won’t last very long.

Gaza strip, 25 miles long, 5 miles wide.

I wonder if the Israelis have any B-52s?

Because nothing says GTFO like Arc Light!

Bomb it to dust and put in a Lafarge cement plant.

Shutting off the power means no desalination and no pumps for moving water around (unless the terrorists have generators and fuel for them). Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of scumbag war criminals.

How do you have water without electric. Gaza is 100% dependent on Israel for everything, gas,food, healthcare, everything. Any civilization has been able to sustain a seige for sometime, but these barbaric muscum dont produce a single life sustaining thing. The people, hamas or not would all starve. No electric means no batteries can be charged, No cellphones, no video, cut them off from the world. Seal border with egypt and nobody and nothing gets in or out. Then slowly exterminate hamas. How often does a country have the opportunity to completely seal off strangle its enemy.
