Good Video of IDF moving in Gaza

interesting this is clearly Gaza

and yet the troops don't seem overly concerned with snipers

"Erdan made it clear to the council members that despite their silence, Israel will continue to defend itself in the war against Hamas in Gaza: "The people of Israel are strong, we cannot be broken, and we are not going anywhere. Many have tried to destroy us, but we are here to stay. Israel will win, crush Hamas, and bring back the hostages."

Good for Israel. They aren't listening to the miscreants at the U.N. Once again they're going to show the world what happens when you go after the Israeli people. Hamas is going to be taken out despite their U.N. apologist's and enabler's hollow demands.

the IDF was able to rescue one soldier 24 hours ago which is great

but in reality- why would Hamas release any of the hostages at this point?

if Israel is legitimately going to end Hamas, what does Hamas have to gain in any deal for the civilians?

I wouldn't be surprised if Hamas has already begun murdering all of them just to prevent more from being liberated.

Likely have already done scans with thermal and know no one is in the area. If I read correctly they have already laid down smoke in tunnels nearby so not overly concerned with those either

Hamas doesn’t serve the interests of the Palestinian people. It’s time for the Palestinians and Israelis to unite and exterminate this terror-generating abomination. pic.twitter.com/dM0Ci7QoXV

Apparently 'endless' shelling/airstrikes this am in Gaza, which is just fine by me:

Our heroes are in #Gaza strip. They are liberating it. This is what not just #Hamas terrorist organization but also #Iran's regime, #Qatar and #Turkey are scared of! #IDF is restoring control of #Israel over Gaza again. Hamas will face extinction there. pic.twitter.com/zzZ4CtmrIt

Really do not like these tactical operations where IDF soldiers constantly clump together

and are in large groups rather than completely spread out over a larger area

and the armor and artillery units do the same thing jamming up one field with 100 AFVs just waiting for a suicide drone or missile hit.

they are really lucky they are not facing an actual combined arms foe- because if that was in Ukraine they would all be dead in 6 minutes.

WikiLeaks saying Israel's plan is really total expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza. I'm personally fine with that, but some will have kittens about expelling the Palestinians from their "open air prison".

A week after the Hamas attack, Israel's Ministry of Intelligence issued a secret ten-page document outlining the expulsion of the Palestinian population of Gaza to northern Sinai, in Egypt:

that's BS

the title on the header is "Misrad Ha"modayeen" which is Ministry of Intelligence

it's not real.

I've been waiting on what media outlet would pick up on that claim. I've read it from many sources in twitter/x but I don't think it is true at all. Some of it is faked stamps on documents and some of it is just gossip from what I have seen (and refrained from posting) but I guess anything is possible.

The issue with the veracity/being 'possibly' true is that it would enrage the Egyptians absolutely into war. That's not something Israel wants. And it also wouldn't, secondarily, get the Gaza population much further away from Israel. Sure, they could then secure the 'strip' but at what benefit?

Finally, my other (and really primary) issue is that 'refugee's would then be flown en masse (hundreds of thousands) to the US. I definitely don't want genocidal Gazans moving next door to me or my family, but I also don't think Israel would risk substantial breaks in US support to make that happen.

as I surmised, this is complete fabrication to harm Israel

here are the ACTUAL Ministries that make up the Israeli government.

Official Ministries

there is no "Ministry of Intelligence" much less a Ministry which comes up with a plan from Intel officials to create a policy of moving millions of people.

it would be like the CIA coming up with a plan to move 2 million drug dealers from New Mexico into Mexico. does that sound like something the CIA would be doing on their own without a politician telling them to do it?

I find it interesting how freely the soldiers are walking about. How are they so sure there's no ambushes or snipers lurking about?

Once Israel takes over Gaza and eliminates all of Hamas, they should put the remaining Palestinians to work rebuilding their city. You know there will be billions of dollars flowing in to help. They should then govern the area as an occupying force, but give the remainders "jobs" to clean up their own crap.

I like this idea.

It gives them an opportunity to be more "normal." As in, have a job, get a paycheck, provide for family. Less time or strength to think about being terrorists. They may even find they like living in peace having food on their table. It's a long shot, but ya never know.

Much like here, the change has to come from the start with the teachers and parents. Stop making hate for the Jews the underlying philosophy of everything they do.

They probably knew about the festival, but the location was kept secret from the attendees until the day prior. So I think Hamas just got lucky on that instance.

The Arrow air defense system intercepted a surface-to-surface missile

launched from the "Red Sea area" at Israel, the military said Tuesday, in the first operational use of the long-range system during the war with Hamas.

The missile was believed to have been launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, aimed for the southernmost city of Eilat.

In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces said that air force systems tracked the missile's trajectory and intercepted it "at the most appropriate operational time and location." …

The IDF also said fighter jets downed another two "hostile targets" believed to be drones that were flying in the Red Sea area during the morning.
