Israeli Forces Are Reportedly Getting Crucial Intelligence From an Unlikely Source
Townhall ^ | 11/13/2023 | Matt Vespa

Israeli forces have cut the Gaza Strip in two, surrounded Gaza City, and are tightening the noose around the reported nerve center of Hamas. Before the ground invasion began on October 28, Israel pounded the strip with artillery and air strikes, killing scores of terrorists and their leaders. Many have hidden in the matrix of tunnels, which has been an operational concern for the IDF. They’re booby-trapped. It’s nearly impossible to see, and some tunnels are 250+ feet underground. So far, Israel has been able to make inroads, but some 30-40,000 Hamas terrorists remain embedded in the strip like ticks. They’ll be uprooted, especially now that re-supply from Iran is now impossible. It will take time.

Hamas’ grip has loosened enough that scores of civilians have been able to make to make it safety. Terrorists are still shooting at Gazans trying to flee south, but those who have made it to IDF lines have reportedly been providing valuable intelligence on the whereabouts of Hamas hideouts and weapons stashes. The IDF did a leaflet drop, promising financial compensation for any information on the whereabouts of the 200-plus civilians that were taken by Hamas on October 7. Most who replied didn’t want money, just safe passage out of the war zone:

Obviously, the IDF should move on the verified information and wipe out those Hamas dogs where they lie, but you already know the risks here.

Flood the area with phosgene gas. Phosgene is heavier than air and will sink down and
through the Hamas tunnel complex. Mohammedans check in, but they don't check out.

Carbon monoxide would work as well, for the same reason. And a lot less toxic to the outside.

Nice idea. And also a good thing for Israelis to gas them. It would send a message to the world and they moslems that the bullcrap really, truly, is over. Powerful message that they won’t be guilted or browbeaten any more.

They need something truly drastic to send the message of a paradigm shift.

I follow the news. I thought there were around a few hundred Hamas in Gaza. 30 to 40 thousand is a necessary target.

Most likely there are hostages in those tunnels. Use a gas that is not lethal but puts them to sleep. Handcuff them in their sleep.

It's been a bad 48 hours for DIE staffers, American journalists, and university professors.

Flood
Napalm
Cyanide gas
Thermobaric bombs
55 gallon drums of gasoline and a match
Robots carrying dynamite
All of the above

They probably want to capture all the documents they can for trials, better defense against the bastards next time, etc.

Doesn’t it seem that the world’s condemnation of Israel for squashing the ticks and fleas has gone surprisingly quiet in the past few days?

>>Flood the area with phosgene gas.

Use of Schedule 3 chemicals as a weapon is banned under the Chemical Weapons Convention, which Israel has signed.

Systematic interrogation will be the key in this fight. Identifying ALL of the Hamas fighters and supporters, block by block. House by house.

It will take two battalions of intelligence personnel to screen, interrogate, process, analyze and target the whole lot.

Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is a poisonous, flammable gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and slightly less dense than air.

What this means is Palestinians are more afraid of Hamas than the IDF. This is the side of Hamas the Palestinian supporters ignore.

Propane has a higher sg so it fills like water.
Now just add a light, a spark a match
