Hi TexasFreeper2009,
I hope you are safe and well.
24 hour notice? Methinks that is too long.
My understanding is that when IDF shells a building occupied by some civilians in Gaza, they will notify by leaflets, texts, and other messaging that a shelling will occur in 10 minutes. They are advised to get out and leave. Then the shelling occurs as promised.
That speaks to the precision of the missiles/artillery of the IDF. I haven’t heard, but I suspect that Humint and other intelligence is gathered by the activity after the warning. The long black plumes seen on television indicate that a fuel or ammo position was hit. In other words, the color of the plume indicates that the strike is decimating the needed resources of Hamas.
I also suspect that IDF has humint on the ground in Gaza that is directing target identification. All while having to be wary of the Northern front with Lebanon. It is truly a fight or flight moment for Israel - and there is no direction or country to which to flee.
The activities of the IDF in this matter will be studied at length at West Point and military schools for many years. There will be lessons to learn and of which to be wary. Ultimately it will confirm Sun Tzu and his writing.
I’ve thought that in spite of creating a refugee issue, the entire peninsula of Gaza should be converted to rubble and ashes.
Stay safe, my FRiend.
