Early Friday, it was widely, incorrectly reported that Israeli ground forces had advanced into Gaza.

Some observers blame the confusion on a military ploy to lure militants into the tunnels under Gaza.

More than 150 Israeli jets went on to intensely bombard the tunnel system, known as "the metro."

"The IDF makes Hamas think that a ground operation is beginning, which causes the organization to bring in all its fighters, including the Nahba, the special force of Hamas, to go down into the tunnels and prepare for combat," Dvori wrote.

"Then for 35 minutes, 160 planes hover over Gaza and drop 450 bombs, which are over 80 tons of explosives, on the entire Gaza 'metro.'"

The IDF has blamed the confusion on a translation error, but

Poor towels heads. Hadn’t they heard of fake news? It’s an American specialty.

During the First Gulf War an entire Marine Division and two Battleships were used as a massive fake to lure the Iraqis into thinking the invasion would come by sea.

CNN was played like a harp back then too.

Is it really the fault of ‘The Jew’ that the Palestinians use ‘Jewish media’ for operational intelligence?

I love how the MSM gets indignant when they are lied to, but never express regret or apologize when they lie to us.

Good military tactic on the part of the IDF.

They need to fake a cease-fire and call off operations for 2 days then go full throttle on the “palestinians”.

War is hell and you should never give your enemy an inch.

Since when is trickery needed for the MSM to report fake news?

“MSM and the Obama-biden admin are undoubtedly seething. Kerry would’ve called his Iranian and Hamas comrades and tipped them off had they known of the ruse.”

No evidence of this, but perhaps ‘The Jew’ did also tell the Biden Administration that they were about to send in ground troops. If so, that would have been LEGENDARY!

...along with the stopping of taking sides, particularly in their hatred towards Israel.

Israel was probably smart enough not to use CNN in their disinformation strategy ... because nobody outside of an airport would ever get the message if it was broadcast on CNN.

Think about next time. If you are a scumbag Hamas Big Kahuna and you get the word that the Israelis are launching a ground campaign into Gaza, would you run for your tunnel hideout or not?

Now Mossad should arrange a "Hot Mike" incident where a "Credible Israeli Government source" names several AP Gaza reporters as "cooperating" in the operation.

Then watch the fun!

Perhaps the media feels like they’ve been ‘Jew’d’?
