Vast majority of strikes have been in the north. May be looking at securing Gaza City first.

---

I've thought about this but yes and no. Yes, they want to secure all of Gaza Strip but I don't know if they have a "first" goal. I believe that hamas has most of their bunkers and military strength located as close to Israel as possible so they may strike with the most ease... just like Israel striking them too. I think it's a practicality/necessity more than a want

U.S. ISR is helping identify locations of hostages. Assets out of Africa are being used. No U.S. forces will attempt any military operations to rescue hostages. Ground War by Weekend or earlier

---

Might be off by 12 hours. Gonna be a hell of a scene when Israel goes into Gaza. The rest of the region is gonna pressure in public, but nobody is going to dare attack Israel while they have revenge on their mind.

Wonder if he has his 60 or 70 virgins now?

I talked to this older retired gentleman this week and he was laughing at how these militants will gladly die as a martyr because they can't wait to get their 60 virgins .. he said these militants believe anything and was laughing because of the virgin thing ..

Gotta imagine the average Hamas grunt is getting pretty exhausted and antsy waiting on the IDF to roll in. I remember reading a book about one of the Marine units that took Fallujah and I fear that that kind of fighting on a much larger scale awaits the IDF. It'll be brutal, but there's no other option.

The ground war will be brutal. Most of the Hamas troops are underground.

The question is whether they will confront the Israelis coming in, wait underground hoping they can ambush them or some hybrid.

So daylight is breaking and the strikes seem to be more than last night. I can't wrap my head around there being much left for hamas at least in their north

That one was big.

Strikes are following a path south to north in a straight line, four so far.

Got lots of secondary explosions from that last one, keep the bombing going until no building is left standing.

bombing tunnel network?

Kind of what I was thinking. They were massive bombs.

I have heard the tunnel networks were enormous but how much did they truly have? At what depths? How big was it really? How well armed were they?!

I just can't fathom there still being much left to strike where they have been in the north

Israel possess the GBU-28, 5000lbs laser guided bomb which can easily take out deeply buried bunkers or tunnels. They've used them in Gaza before so no doubt the weapon will make another appearance, if it hasn't already.

They are raining hell on them right now. Wow

Anybody else think in rooster speak, they're saying **** is about to go down? I have a rooster and when he gets nervous, he gets to crowing

I predict that the Palestinian people of Gaza eventually will pour out into Egypts land south of the Gaza Strip… they will need to go somewhere and they won't go into Israel for fear of getting bombed.. Egypt won't be able to stop them if they rush the borders …. It will be a humanitarian tent city night mare in Egypts land south of Gaza.. just my 2 cents ..

Douglas Murray with another fantastic speech. At 6:50: "Supporters of Hamas should be treated just as ISIS were. If you stand in Britain with a Hamas flag you should not be allowed to be free in Britain. …you should be deported to Gaza and can try your luck there."

Absolute brilliance.

Except they didn't care if you were a Jew or not, your mere presence made you a target for them.

That was amazing. So well said.

The UN can strongly SAD

---

Yep. It is only a tragedy when the redneck filth of Gaza start suffering the consequences of their genocidal actions.

The UN is worthless to American interests and should be kicked out of the United States for its unadulterated support of trash like Hamas.

---

Damn straight. The UN is garbage.

One of my students is a 21yo Iranian woman. She is livid that the U.S. sent those billions to Iran. She said everyone knew where that money was going. She wrecked my plan for class today.

When I was in grad school @ A&M, there was a married couple in the school building a floor above our lab. When asked if they were Iranian they would immediately correct the person saying,"No, we are Persian."

Where I work out, swim, there was an elderly man from Iran. When I asked where he was from he said Iran, when I responded, "oh, you're Persian." His eyes lit up, he smiled and nodded yes. Not all Muslims are radical fundamentalists.

The radical fundamentalist Islamic clerics have taken control and represent a barbaric, ruthless, authoritarian mindset that is horrible. They condone the raping, murder of children they instigate crimes against humanity they are evil incarnate.
