On the fiftieth anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, Israelis woke up to a sustained attack on multiple southern towns near the border with the Gaza Strip (half of the so-called "Palestinian Authority"). This isn't the usual vicious but random spasm of slaughter in which Hamas likes to engage. It appears to have been very well planned and executed, with thousands upon thousands of rockets barraging Israeli residential areas from the southern border to north of Tel Aviv. It is also an invasion: Hamas used bulldozers to demolish Israeli border barriers, enabling an unknown number of its assets to enter the country - followed by reinforcements:
Reinforcements arrive for the Palestinian terror groups that have entered Israel.
They are wearing yellow "friend-or-foe" armbands to help prevent friendly fire.

That's different - as the locals quickly noticed:
We woke up at 6:30 a.m. to alarms, we thought it was the usual rocket attacks but we started hearing gunshots on the street, sounded like it came from the parking of our building. Then we realized something was unusual. We then started seeing Hamas people in pickup trucks. They knocked on the homes of residents, who thought they were Israeli soldiers. They took them hostage.
The twin prongs of the invasion were in evidence at an all-night "nature party": first the revellers came under rocket attack; then, as they fled, they came under gunfire.

None of this is happening in a vacuum, that’s for sure. I’m pretty tired of Israel and the Pals. Time to let them fight it out via total war and let the winner take the spoils. We are directly and indirectly funding both sides. What about our border that fentanyl pours across and kills 100k Americans a year? Anyway… preaching to the choir.
LOL, true.
Rush Limbaugh really summed it up best. He said that this war will continue Forever Until one party pushes the other party into the sea. Time for the USA to leave Israel alone and let them do what they’ve got to do.
The people should be armed. Jews have learned nothing over 2K years. They should allow individuals to be armed.

He wasn’t wrong. It does seem strange Israeli/US intellignece missed it so completely. Can’t wait to see what they say the after action report turns up. Not saying it applies here, but one of the strange things about massive intelligence failures is that they are usually punished by massive budget increases.

After this, they probably will.
Of course the Biden administration knew that Iran, flush with 6 billion dollars would attack Israel. Joe Biden’s envoy to Iran was Obama’s former aide Robert Malley. He served in that capacity from Jan. 29, 2021 till approximately June, 2023. Suddenly envoy Malley’s security clearance was revoked and the FBI was investigating him for mishandling classified information.
I think it is logical that Envoy Robert Malley shared US classified information with the Iranian government.
Perhaps Israel will be smart and not do what Hamas expects.
Hamas expects Israel to send people and vehicles into Gaza, where they can be targeted by drones.
Hamas may not expect Israel to stand off and pound Gaza infrastructure with Israeli drones. No power. No sewer. No water. No phones or internet. Send them back into the stone age.
Twitter feeds with live video footage, all kinds of atrocities, families shot in their homes, stacks of dead children, scores of female hostages waiting to be gang raped, time to go bibical on these savages.
Carpet bomb Gaza to rubble, tanks are now on the move, get some!
Hope the Israelis turn off Gaza’s water too.
Until today I thought they were.
That is scary how they can precision drop a bomb like that. Drones bring a whole new dimension to urban warfare.
SO CORRECT.
They need to attack Gaza itself and force the Palestinians to defend.
Yes, the opposition hates Netanyahu so much that they’d sabotage the country to bring him down.
They’ve turned off everything including food.
