At 06:30 on October 7th Hamas launched several thousand Rockets with various levels of sophistication from the Gaza Strip toward the Israeli Urban centers of Ashalon Rovat and Tel Aviv which is 60 miles away.   The number of rockets overwhelmed Israel's missile defense system and damage on the ground was much more extensive than normally seen during these sorts of attacks.

At 07:40 Hamas launched a coordinated air sea land offensive into Israel, using bulldozers to breach physical barriers, assault craft to land on the Mediterranean beaches and paragliders to attack from the air.

Wade right into Gaza with armored columns, and shoot & bomb anything that moves.

Then drop incendiaries on it.

Start dropping FAEs starting at the north end of Gaza, roll south until everyone in Gaza will never ever leave, or has gotten to the Egyptian border, then let Egypt welcome their brothers...

Should t be hard to see where the boats came from.

Whatever country that is, it should be cutoff from the world.

You’ve got it backwards. Soften it up with bombs and artillery and then goes in the armor and infantry.

The boys got to have a little fun, first.

BBQ smells aren't all that satisfying, at times.

Maybe.

Syria, Egypt, Tunisia.

Whichever one should be cut off and suffer a humanitarian crisis of epic proportion.

You be the first to go in and see how much fun you have. And burning flesh does not smell like BBQ. You’ll puke.

Victor Davis Hanson
@VDHanson
Here we are 78 years after the end of the Holocaust and once agains thuggish killers dressed in black are pulling Jewish elderly, women, and children out of their homes and executing them, and then throwing their bodies into the street. But in 1945 we were fighting the SS murderers, now we are sending millions in subsidies to their modern Hamas killer squad counterparts. We the American people should demand not one more American cent to these Gestapo and SS killers.

Israel has gotten soft over the years. They should simply raze the Gaza strip, and send the Arabs that live there either Egypt or their ancestral homeland in Saudi Arabia.

From what I read, the attack was in the SOUTH of Israel. Lebanon is directly NORTH of Israel.
