yeah but Bibi doesn't give a gently caress what the IDF thinks

he's only concerned about his own political survival, and i guess he's too scared to break the Gaza ceasefire after Hamas nearly blew up his coalition

Long time no see.
Except his coalition nearly broke because of the ceasefire, so breaking it and "showing Hamas they can't boss us around" should theoretically only increase his position?

Idk what's going on with Hezbollah atm but there are probably actual tunnels for real

i don't think anyone actually thinks a couple of airstrikes are going to be a big deal to Hamas, and he doesn't want to go to actual war with Gaza right now.

breaking the ceasefire and then trying to convince Hamas that it's still in force isn't going to look good for him, and if he's going to end a period of relative peace and provoke a new wave of rockets then he'll face criticism if it's not for something worthwhile

also, on an unrelated note, the special forces team that got into a firefight last month were posing as aid workers with medical NGOs, and got through checkpoints by telling guards that they were coming to transport specific medical patients to and from clinics. the guards became suspicious because their accents sounded off and the local Hamas commander happened to know the family of one of those patients, so their cover story was blown and they decided to try to shoot their way out

quote:

According to the report, the Israeli force used "detailed but fake" IDs of real Gaza citizens from different areas of the strip. Hamas has since detained and questioned all of the Palestinians whose identities were allegedly stolen by the IDF troops after their identity cards were discovered in the wreckage of the Volkswagen minibus the Israeli force reportedly used in its raid. Qassem said the ID cards were "very accurate," including full names, ID numbers and details of the Palestinian residents.

Furthermore, the Israeli troops "were posing as NGO workers, there were women in the car as well. They used this to justify why they were stealing into Gaza and had a story prepared should they be questioned," Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem told The Independent.

Another Hamas official, who was not identified in the report, said the Israelis "told the fighters at the checkpoint that they were delivering patients back from clinics to their homes and had a wheelchair in the back of the van. They presented their ID cards but the (fighters) manning the checkpoint were suspicious as their accents and voices did not match the areas where they said they were from."

The Israeli forces were reportedly held at the checkpoint until the Hamas commander in Khan Yunis, Nour Baraka, was called to the scene and decided to take them in for questioning at a Hamas facility. It was then, according to the report, that the IDF troops opened fire.

Local residents told The Independent that Baraka knew the family of the woman the force claimed to have come to aid. He called the family and confirmed she had already passed away. A Hamas official told the British paper the Israeli force was in Gaza to replace listening and surveillance devices that had been laid before.

they don't translate the background but I found it funny. basically this poll was done after a cnn poll about rising antisemitism was making the rounds on israeli media, this news channel took questions from that poll and changed the wording a bit (basically flipping jew to arab)

Yes, which is why the poll results in Israel are worse than if you got the same thing in the US.

Fun fact, at the end of the Brazilian dictatorship the infant mortality rate was higher than that of most sub-Saharan nations, higher than that of Palestine, and higher than those of civil worn torn central American countries (Brazil has since then reduced it to be lower than all these nations).
