the other post just made me pay attention to it

im not defending the guy or saying that at all vindicates him or is any reason for empathizing or to feel sorry for him or anything just to clarify, like, he's holding the jewelry of a murdered innocent person and bites it to check if its real

just that he doesn't seem to be all-in on it, which is good in a meaningless way for the small bit of humanity maybe visible behind the murder mask
also in a more meaningful way because it's a sign morale is prolly not great if they're not fully stoked over finding war loot jewelry

Not to be confused with meat.
I think the initial plan was for Israel to break the ceasefire. Netanyahu didn't want to negotiate, but after a month and a half of "BRING THEM HOME," people were getting extremely angry. At first, he wanted to have his cake and eat it too: agree to a prisoner exchange, and then cancel it by breaking the ceasefire in a way which lets him try to frame Hamas and say "welp, I tried negotiating, there's nothing we can do but go back to fighting." The IDF was constantly poking and outright crossing the limits before the first swap: flying over the south, shooting at civilians trying to return to the north, delaying the deal, refusing entry to the aid trucks and then giving Hamas a time limit until midnight to hand over the hostages anyway when they called foul. The IDF was trying to provoke an attack while still maintaining juuust enough wiggle room to propogandize about how they totally didn't break the rules first.

But now the deal went through, and that plan has become a lot more difficult. The hostages are absolutely vital for national morale, even the Ben-Gvirite faction that opposed the deal isn't daring to say "well, I still think it was a bad idea! :mad:" If people were mad at Bibi before, that has nothing on how PISSED they'll be if he cancels the trading now without a very good reason and goes back on the offensive, especially with Biden talking about extending the truce.

Al Jazeera's correspondent said that the Israeli occupation forces fired bullets and tear gas bombs in Beitunia, near Ramallah, to prevent the Palestinians from photographing the bus carrying the liberated children as part of the third batch of the prisoner exchange agreement.

The moment the Al-Qassam Brigades handed over to the Red Cross the third batch of Israeli prisoners and detainees in the streets of Gaza, unlike the previous two days when the handover took place in the south of the Strip.
Analysts: After 50 days of Israeli bombing of Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, and the occupation’s Minister of War, Galant, confirming daily that Hamas has lost control of the north, the handover of Israeli prisoners comes publicly in the streets of northern Gaza.

The Israeli captives were right under the nose of the Israeli army this entire time, dealing yet another mighty blow to the Israeli intelligence and invading forces.

"should consider"

not surprised that democrat members of congress are suddenly concerned about genocide being reelected, especially as they're watching biden's poll numbers drop by the week.

Yeah, the "operational control" of IDF forces in Gaza is just random tanks roaming the streets with minimal garrisons in a few strong points. Hamas doesn't even need to use tunnels in it, they can just walk through alleys and side streets because the IDF has almost no one on the ground.

‎analysis i agree with

=====


What is the message that ⁧‫#كتائب_القسام‬⁩ wanted to deliver to the occupation when it decided today to hand over the third batch of its prisoners from the city of #غزة‬⁩ , yes from Gaza City, which Netanyahu said two weeks ago that his army had tightened control over..!!

‎As an observer and analyst, I believe that there are a number of reasons:
‎- After more than 50 days of massive destruction and crimes of the occupation in the areas of northern Gaza, this is the resistance whose cohesion and control of the field and the course of the battle was confirmed through the prisoner handover in the Gaza City area.

‎Today, Netanyahu carried out a demonstration movement on the outskirts of the border in the Gaza Strip. This step from hamas came to confirm that Gaza is a single geography in which the resistance has the say.

‎- Management of the battle, negotiations and field by the resistance in an intelligent and coherent manner that carries important political and media messages.

‎- The cohesion of the popular support behind the resistance, as the Palestinians gathered and saluted the men of the resistance.
