'ISRAEL PREPARING FOR GROUND WAR IN GAZA' AS TERRORISTS FIRE 1,000+ ROCKETS IN 36 HOURS ......(an average of 28 rockets every hour.)

After taking out several top Hamas, Islamic Jihad terrorist leaders in airstrikes, IDF now moving battle tanks into position, mobilizing combat units.

For better or worse, Israelis have become used to an occasional spate of attacks from Gaza. It’s bad. It’s frustrating. The IDF retaliates. Then it’s over.

But a psychological shift occurred Tuesday night throughout the country....People began to realize that this rocket war is different – worse – than what we have experienced in the past.

And Israeli leaders began preparing the nation and their military forces for the hard truth that a ground war in Gaza may be necessary, warning citizens that the campaign to restore calm and quiet will be difficult and will not be finished quickly.

more than 500 IDF airstrikes against Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets in Gaza have not slowed the relentless, almost non-stop rocket attacks.

“We don’t want to enter Gaza, but if we have to, we will,” a combat soldier told the Jerusalem Post.

“The utility of the Qassam rocket design is assumed to be ease and speed of manufacture, using common tools and components. To this end, the rockets are propelled by a solid mixture of sugar and potassium nitrate, a common fertilizer. The warhead is filled with smuggled or scavenged TNT and urea nitrate, another common fertilizer.

“The rocket consists of a steel cylinder, containing a rectangular block of the propellant. A steel plate which forms and supports the nozzles is then spot-welded to the base of the cylinder. The warhead consists of a simple metal shell surrounding the explosives, and is triggered by a fuse constructed using a simple firearm cartridge, a spring and a nail.”

From Wikipedia

Perhaps the Israelis should try to ensure the Palestinians only have access to less explosive fertilizer mixtures.

You’re probably very right....however Bidens not running things. Unfortunately the former Obama administration is and he’s hiding directly behind them....with No accountability.

“The first Fajr-5 were created when China exported WS-1 MLRS to Iran in the late 1980s/early 1990s.[9] They were then subsequently created and produced by Iran’s Aerospace Industries Organization.”

Since WWII, we have leaned that in the long run, asymmetrical wars are not lost by the side that depends on the cheapest and crudest weapons.

From what I’ve seen, self-described ‘liberals’ just laugh if you say what they’re doing is evil, and then call you a liar. Imaginings of doing what is right in God’s eyes is far from their minds. Their sense of right and wrong comes only from what they want or don’t want; from what does or doesn’t feel good to them.

That can’t be right about Biden. Bibi called him faster than any other word leader the morning after the 4am election steal.
I’m certain Biden would have been thankful for his support early on. /s

“Palestinian rockets include those locally made in Gaza and the West Bank as well as weapons smuggled from Iran and Syria.”

Unfortunately the Palestinians hide Hamas and their arsenals among the people purposely because they know Israel is reluctant to bomb those buildings without warning first. When the casualties mount...world leaders begin their pressure and always paint Israel as being heavy handed.

Well Gaza and the West Bank are terrorist strongholds....The so called Palestinians are a foul and hateful people who do not care about their life nor their children's. Never have and never will. For that matter the Arab world doesn't like them either which is why none of them want them in their country. They cause nothing but trouble wherever they are....even among one another.

A ground war could be difficult given all those walls they’ve built.
