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

The fairness doctrine was killed in 1987. Just imagine if the left had 3 hours per day on hundreds of radio stations to counter Rush Limbaugh in addition to their “neutral” news.

That’s why I don’t trust the steaming piles of what comes out of major news outlets.

The MSM ask no questions and still believe it was only a cold sore, on their special friend from the swamp.

Feeling manipulated, Major News Outlets? Join the crowd.

You might want to look into things a little more closely in the future. Things like masks, vaccines, business closures, etc.

That strategy is the sole property of arab inc. and or arafat (PNC) Cairo, and cannot be used without massive compensation.

They did try to have their own talk show with Alec Baldwin and that tanked almost overnight. I heard the first show and I actually felt embarrassed for him. It was a fingernails/chalkboard event from the get-go.

Why would Israel possibly let the media what they were going to do.

Along similar lines, has anyone else noticed that the late night talk shows....

Reminds to retell the old joke.... A fellow was asked... “Do you know that the two biggest problems we have are ignorance and apathy?” After thinking for a bit, the fellow replied “I didn’t know that but I don’t care.”

All’s fair in love and war. Losers engage in “fair wars” See Vietnam, Afghanistan.

What a great idea1! Israel’s biggest problem in retaliating is to hold down innocent causalities. This move caused the terrorists to self separate. Israel was able to bury the tunnels as a bonus! Stockpiles of arms were also likely destroyed, another bonus! The used the news media to do it. Another bonus. No wonder Biden removed American troops, too many good ideas for them to learn.
