I wonder just how long ago this was planned out, so far the execution of the whole offensive has been extremely impressive and obviously Mossad had no idea it was coming.

Yeah, most APS systems don’t seem practical in non-controlled situations. Also, I think hull down positions are largely useless and the entire doctrine around them is non-sensical.

It really is insane that Hamas insurgents in pickup trucks and paragliders could disable two battalions of the IDF. It's hard to think of a historical analogy. How bad were they all along?

yes. the whole area is very small in comparison to anyone used to dealing with north american spaces. the distance from downtown gaza city to sderot is like 7 miles. it's less than 2 miles from the border to the middle of town. you can walk.

Not historical but there is that much repeated story about the US War game where the general assigned to the insurgent side did a bunch of tricky stuff with low tech and they effectively won and then the game was stopped

Semper Shitpost Ubique


I know this means nothing to Yanks but the MBE in her twitter name (Christ) means she is a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

"Although initially intended to recognise meritorious service, the order began to also be awarded for gallantry. There were an increased number of cases in the Second World War for service personnel and civilians including the merchant navy, police, emergency services and civil defence, mostly MBEs but with a small number of OBEs and CBEs. Such awards were for gallantry that did not reach the standard of the George Medal, but, as an order, were listed before it on the Order of Wear."

Which means she is in the same class as, finding a random citation from the list,

"Captured at El Adem on 26 June 42. Imprisoned Campo 21 (Italy). After the Armistice the S.B.O.(Senior British Officer) refused to allow P/W (Prisoners of War) to escape, and the Camp was taken over by the Germans who removed the P/W to Germany. Capt. Blair had been working on a tunnelling scheme, of which there were several in the Camp, and hid with five others in the tunnel for 36 hours. They came out after the Germans had left, made their way South, and arrived in British hands on 13 Oct 43."

Which seems a whole hell of a lot more like the Palestinians than someone calling the loving Met because they're honking their horns.

quote:

:words:
This morning, on Shabbat and a holiday, Hamas invaded Israeli territory and murdered innocent citizens including children and the elderly. Hamas has started a brutal and evil war.

We will be victorious in this war despite an unbearable price. This is a very difficult day for all of us.

Hamas wants to murder us all. This is an enemy that murders children and mothers in their homes, in their beds, an enemy that abducts the elderly, children and young women, that slaughters and massacres our citizens, including children, who simply went out to enjoy the holiday.

What happened today is unprecedented in Israel – and I will see to it that it does not happen again. The entire government is behind this decision.

The IDF will immediately use all its strength to destroy Hamas's capabilities. We will destroy them and we will forcefully avenge this dark day that they have forced on the State of Israel and its citizens. As Bialik wrote: 'Revenge for the blood of a little child has yet been devised by Satan'.

All of the places which Hamas is deployed, hiding and operating in, that wicked city, we will turn them into rubble.

I say to the residents of Gaza: Leave now because we will operate forcefully everywhere.

At this hour, the IDF is clearing the terrorists out of the last communities. They are going community by community, house by house, and are restoring our control.

I embrace and send heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families whose loved ones were murdered today in cold blood and endless brutality.

We are all praying for the well-being of the wounded and all those who are being held hostage. I say to Hamas: You are responsible for their well-being. Israel will settle accounts with anyone who harms one hair on their heads.

I appeal to the residents of the south: We all stand alongside you. We are all proud of your heroism and your fighting.

To our beloved IDF soldiers, police officers and security forces personnel, remember that you are the continuation of the heroes of the Jewish people, of Joshua, Judah Maccabee and the heroes of 1948 and of all of Israel's wars. You are now fighting for the home and future of us all. We are all with you. We all love you. We all salute you.

To the medical and rescue teams, and the many volunteers who came out in force today in a long list of places, the people of Israel salute you. With your spirit, we will overcome our enemies.

Today, I spoke with US President Biden and with other world leaders in order to ensure freedom of action for Israel in the continuation of the campaign. I thank President Biden for his strong and clear words. I thank the President of France, the Prime Minister of Great Britain and many other leaders for their unreserved support for Israel.

I now appeal to all citizens of Israel:

We stand together in this campaign.

This war will take time. It will be difficult. Challenging days are ahead of us. However, I can promise one thing: With the help of G-d, the forces that we all have in common and our faith in the Eternal One of Israel, we will win.

with US + nato drained from Ukraine, I wonder how much support the US military will be able to give to Israel this time. Im sure the money will start flowing instantly but hopefully they have limited ability to ship more munitions + equipment.

they're going to roll ukraine and israel funding into one and they will salute the flag. the quickest repub anti-war vibe speedrun in history
