In Iraq, The two Battles of Fallujah were some of the hardest fought battles in American history, with the six-week-long Second Battle of Fallujah being the bloodiest battle for American troops in that entire war. There was every reason to think IDF troops would face the same in Gaza…only worse, given that Hamas is a death cult, whereas Saddam Hussein’s troops were more ordinary Islamic fighters.

What’s happened in Gaza has been different, reports Kemp:

The IDF has exceeded even its own commanders’ expectations with the speed and the extent of Hamas’s destruction. It has encircled Gaza City and is assaulting terrorist strongholds, killing large numbers of fighters including key commanders, smashing command posts and gaining valuable intelligence, while its forces have sustained fewer casualties than anticipated.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan will issue their standard “muslim unity” statements, but they are probably quietly telling Israel: “finish the job on the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas quickly!”

Heard Netanyahu say they have no wish to occupy Gaza. He’s either lying or delusional. As long as Gaza festers, it will produce the pus of terror.

Seal them in.
