Israel will have scored a tactical victory, if it has the stomach to take out Hamas’ command and control underground city (not a bunker, a city) -— beneath a hospital in the center of Gaza City.
Else the rocket attack will either continue or pause before starting up again at some other date.
“take out Hamas’ command and control underground city (not a bunker, a city) -— beneath a hospital in the center of Gaza City.”
Juicy target indeed. Maybe wait for a surge in electronic emmissions, or indications that someone important is home, then drop some earth penetrating bunker busters to train for Iran’s underground targets. The big wigs are probably cowering with a bunch of pre-schoolers somewhere until things cool off though, and you don’t get an intel exploit that way. But still, a nice little love note if you have to call off operations.
