An Israeli invasion into Gaza seems like such an obvious trap that maybe even the IOF see that

At least a few people in the government have to be arguing for some unexpected galaxy brain move like invading Lebanon in retaliation

it does seem like repeating 2006 might be what Hamas have in mind

that being said, genuine question: how -did- the 2006 draw/victory/defeat actually change the situation in the region?

In researching this for the Ukraine thread, it was supposed to trigger widespread reform in the IDF and a revaluation of their equipment, doctrine and training, but then they decided... not to ...and started promoting all of their same mythology again. Which is interesting, how an institution reacts to failure tells you a lot about it, and doubling down tells you they will repeat mistakes.

In terms of Lebanese politics, it gave Hezbollah more legitimacy as a protector of the country, I believe that helped them in the political process. The Lebanese Army was pretty rattled by it, but I mean, the Lebanese Army has never been a strong or popular institution. Probably some stuff about Syria and Iran, but of course shortly after Peaceful Protesters cum Moderate Rebels destroyed the Syrian Arab Army for a decade.

each Iron Dome launcher can only hold 40 or so interceptors at a time, so assuming a 100% interception rate (lmao) you still only need 40 times the number of launchers in the area to completely saturate it, and anything beyond that will get through

they've launched ~7,000 rockets since the start of this uprising

The funniest part is that jared kushner and ivanka genuinely tried to make this happen (because they would also grift on top of the ultimate privatization), way more than the psycho dems just lying about peace or a two state solution after everyone just decided to ignore the oslo accords

The only reason it's a barren desert is because of Israel taking 95% of the water rights.

It's more it doesn't work against a real threat, which we've learned about a lot of the IDF. It was designed to prevent the Israeli population from ever feeling the consequences of relatively minor incursions into Palestinian areas. Each battery can intercept, iirc, about 40 rockets. That's a lot for rockets built in secret in underground workshops and hidden in a tiny area.

However, a single battery of Grad MRLS, the oldest and most common rocket artillery in use by the regular armies of Israel's neighbours, fires 120 rockets, so already you see the problem. Iron Dome basically serves the same purpose as the border fences and walls - not a real defence against an enemy you take seriously, but something to keep the boot on the neck of a captive people.

Hamas having capabilities that cause real damage - knocking out tanks, overrunning garrisons, attacking into Israel, and firing large salvos of rockets, was not something anyone expected or prepared against.

And that, dear reader, was why the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem fell to the armies of Saladin in 1187, and why the last scraps of the kingdoms of Outremer, as the Crusaders called the land now known as Israel, were mopped up by Muslim armies over the century that followed.
