I'm just now noticing that this is happening exactly, to the day, 50 years after the Yom Kippur war, in which the IDF infamously got caught unprepared and which occured on a Jewish holiday, and it's Simchat Torah (and shabbat) right now. What did God mean by this?

this seems very different than other times it actually looks like they want to reclaim and hold the land

What "other times" lmao. Unless I'm stupidly misremembering this is the first time that Palestinian resistence groups in Gaza have actually tried to opccupy and reclaim Israeli territory. For the past couple decades, all they've done is launch a couple pussy rear end missiles at random sidewalks in Tel Aviv and occasionally shoot up a restaurant. What's happening right now is unprecedented.

I've posted the studies about it in the Ukraine thread, and there are quite a few books about the IDF that cover this, but armies in prolonged occupations are not good at fighting wars.

IDF says schools to remain closed across the country amid fighting
By Emanuel Fabian
Today, 3:30 pm

The Israel Defense Forces announces that schools across the entire country will remain closed in the coming days amid ongoing fighting between Israel and terror groups in the Gaza Strip, as the Home Front Command extends existing restrictions.

Additionally, businesses south of Netanya and north of the central Negev can only be opened if there is ready access to bomb shelters, the military says.

Gatherings are restricted to 10 people outdoors and 50 people indoors in those areas, the IDF Home Front Command says.

The restrictions are valid till Tuesday at 6 p.m., but will likely be extended further amid the fighting.

It's not THAT difficult to dodge the draft, and if you're afraid of getting disowned by your parents or something, it's also not that hard to avoid being a combatant and you have to TRY to be a serious intelligence guy or something. Just land one of those bureaucratic office jobs where you just make a bunch of bullshit phone calls and paperwork instead if actually meaningfully contributing and sit on your rear end until you're free.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says he has ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip, as Israel fights the Hamas terror group.

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.

“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.

Utterly classic fascist move, of course. Get the people who might otherwise be on the fence or passively involved in policies deeper into the active policies, and make it so that, once they realize what's going on and what they've been party to, it's too late to back out and the only way forward is more crimes.

Just completely vile for so many reasons. I'm sure arming civilians will go absolutely swimmingly.
Also: welp, there's the two front war I suppose

These are specifically west bank settlers. Unlike your average dude in Tel Aviv who was just unfortunately born in a genocidal apartheid state, these guys have actively, physically participated in the removal of Palestinians from their homes and land, and many are already armed and trained. They're basically paramilitaries. They're not IDF members but they're not exactly regular "civilians" either.
