They can't just bomb Gaza and call it a day because all of Hamas's most important assets are underground. There's also a limited amount of bunker buster bombs they can use, and no good way to know where to even drop them. So at some point if they want to declare a "victory" against Hamas, they have to send soldiers into those tunnels.

I hope that every soldier sent into those tunnels never comes back out.

So this guy saw a bunch of his comrades get iced in an operation that was supposed to be a slam dunk, and then when he tries to collect benefits from the country he nearly died for they haggle over the scale of his PTSD.

Same thing they had last time. Small arms, RPGs, a few ATGMs, mortars, grenades, mines. Doesn't sound like much but you can do a lot with the kind of tunnel network that they have under Gaza. The k/d ratio is obviously going to be heavily in the IDF's favor, but Israelis are also cowards because blood and soil nationalism makes them psychologically "aware" of any kind of demographic decline. So fatalities to the Israelis hurt them a lot more than it does to Palestinians, who just have to accept a higher bodycount as the weaker party in an asymmetric war. In 2014 the IDF had to withdraw because the invasion wasn't going as smoothly for them as they would've liked it to. Same thing happened during the 2006 invasion of Lebanon.

Israelis want to do whatever they want but never have to pay a price for it, and that's not a winning mindset.

Interesting, thanks. Hopefully it's enough this time as well

It's crazy how often Israelis do things that are extremely antisemitic, but if you try pointing any of it out that makes you the antisemite. I don't think there's any country in the world more materially antisemitic than Israel. Maybe Ukraine.

A lot of people also ask what the cost/benefit analysis is for Hamas in having to pay such a high cost every time, but you can't look at casualty figures and think of war as some kind of numbers game. What Palestinians win through resistance is dignity.

“They don’t have real aid agencies for the most part. They don’t have annual reports, they don’t have congressional testimony, they don’t have very sharp media scrutiny,” says Former Ambassador Richard LeBaron, senior fellow at The Atlantic Council.

So why make large pledges that you may not follow through on?

“Part of the reason they do it is they want to demonstrate to their own populations that they still care about the Palestinians,” explains LeBaron.

“Nobody gets fired because aid didn’t go into Gaza. People [in Gaza] just suffer and live with it,” he says.

The big thing in the last few years is homemade drones with grenades attached on them. They can be piloted behind positions or into tanks/vehicles for devastating effect and little cost. They're a partisan's wet dream.

The little known brother to Iron Dome and Iron Fist/Trophy is Drone Dome which is already in deployment and intercepts drones of all sizes, in both stationary and mobile platforms.
