I will suggest that the bombing has mostly eliminated the primary tunnel targets. It is now necessary to go after the bombed entrances and tunnels to force the Hamas troglodytes to the surface where they can be killed.
The primary mission remains........ Hamascide. Kill Hamas.
The current whining for cease fire can be ignored becvause there is not only no reason to cease the killing but to the contrary, there is strong reason to keep on killing Hamas.
Hostages? At this point hostages are no longer bargaining chips. Hamas has declared the hostages to be toast by trying to trade them for ending the war.
“The primary mission remains........ Hamascide.”
While it is true that that is the current mission of the IDF, I think it is the wrong one.
Correctly, their mission should be to permanently break the will of the population to ever wage war again. Unconditional surrender of everyone with enough death and damage so that nobody ever concieves of war again.
