the Palestinian resistance carried out a prison break that was probably intended to be a quick raid on Israeli military positions around Gaza to destroy things, steal equipment and weapons, and take prisoners, then retreat back across the boundary wall

they then got past the wall, and the unmanned automated machine gun turrets protecting it, to find....nothing, no other defenses or security, nobody trying to stop them in any kind of organized way, and decided to make the most of that by decapitating the Israeli military's command and control in the area, killing or capturing as many of their officers as they could find, disrupting their communications, and generally causing chaos

they also, ultimately unsuccessfully, attempted to drive on the West Bank and take and hold the territory between, clearly hoping to open up a corridor, but that didn't last very long

it wasn't a lot of guys, maybe 1000-1500 fighters actually left Gaza, but they were able to cause a shitload of damage to Israeli military targets very quickly, and completely humiliated the IDF in the process

The israelis had nothing but their reputation.

Without the invincibility reputation they cant justify being a safe haven for settler colonialists so less foreigners will choose to live there and set up, and more israelis who have two passports will leaver.

Without it they wont be able to sell arms and spy software because they've been proven to be easy to get around and completely useless.

Without it there's no reason that their enemies will back down from the next fight and be even stronger and more powerful next time.

Without it, their hold on the west bank becomes shattered once palestinians overthrow Fatah now that there's an actually more effective second option towards liberation.

Without it, they've lost the ability to affect their environment strategically and everyone around them will recognize Iran as king of the hill.

Without it, arab governments cant justify to their people giving up on palestine and doing normalization and their arab allies have lost all their cards to do anything because people are now aware that Israel can be defeated by a very small very competent fighting force so why give them any concessions on anything.

Without it, the very foundations of them pretending like they can annex palestine forever is shattered.

It's a huge deal.

I think you underestimate the financial icentives for Arab goverments to ignore this once this present crisis is over, and their willingness to attack even if normalization never happens.
So its a good thing Israel is going to step into every rake on earth and force their hand. Sad to say but if it really was Hamas`s plan to maximise civilian casulties and not the result of crossfire and opportunistic Gazan civilans who took their one shot at venegance they werent actually wrong do it. It really was the best strategic choice to maximize civilan casulties.

in 2006 Hezbollaj would deal with the Trophy systems by shooting a large number of RPG-7s from different angles then attacking with the ATGM. It’s funny how the iron dome and the Trophy system have the same weakness

squads of Hamas fighters (Qassam brigades, the militant arm of Hamas, to be technical) cut through, bombed, tunneled under, and flew over the wall around Gaza after their morning coffee, and proceeded to loving seize entire suburbs of Israeli settlements and kibbutzes near Gaza. Meanwhile hundreds of rockets were deluged from Gaza into Israel, overwhelming the iron dome system and scoring a number of hits on civilian and probably some military infrastructure too. The brigades also stormed a few military bases and merked a good few Israeli soldiers caught with their pants down and breakfast unfinished. A couple hundred prisoners and/or hostages were taken back to Gaza and the remaining Qassam brigade members were eventually killed after hooouuurs of holding out in places like police stations.

The Israeli military had no fuckin idea what was going on either, and it took them hours to mount any effective response.

the rave, well, I still don’t understand what the poo poo happened there. Maybe a bunch of Israeli civilians got mowed down by Qassam forces, maybe the IDF whoopsie-doodled into crowds of panicked civilians. someone else can probably illuminate.

anyways that’s what kicked this whole thing off - an honest to god invasion of Israel by Gazan Hamas forces.

Zionism started in the late 1800s and Britain made that decision before the end of WWI, before they technically even had the land.

oh i have no doubts the arab governments are gonna try to normalize its just now its no longer safe for them to do so the way they thought it was a year ago and now theyre not gonna be able to do it without extreme public backlash, israels crimes in gaza have re-established peoples utter hatred and disgust of israel to a whole new generation of arab youth and all of the arab zionists efforts to muddy the issue, demonize hamas and make normalization seem ok has been obliterated. this is why arab governments are freaking out and making GBS threads themselves, their parades been poo poo on big time.

social media has made it to where the average person is just witness to all types of horror and institutionalized evil both here and abroad virtually every minute of every day, to the point even IF one were to log off (to, yknow, NOT go completely batshit insane and maintain SOME shred of sanity?..) this poo poo is still served to them by Word of Mouth

It's not about knowing what's going on, I WANT to know, it's important to know. I'm just dumbfounded at how world governments are nodding along, letting this happen (or actively facilitating it in America's case) and eating up all the propaganda. It's not like I had any faith in the liberal hellfuck capitalist world order beforehand, but its most dramatically evil manifestations will never cease to baffle me no matter how utterly unsurprising they are.
