Gonna have to replenish the stockpile they're burning through at what I'm sure is a rate higher than ever before.

Consider how this is news worthy in the US. A $33M facility costs less than a Texas Junior High School. Yet, that facility will get paid $MMM to produce the good stuff. Yet, Katy ISD is on their third or fourth multi-billion dollar bond in the last six years.

TL;DR: There are football stadiums that cost less than this. Don't neglect that the USMC also bought Iron Dome and needs the rounds.

As the ground invasion in Gaza continues to escalate, I'd like to share some key thoughts. Firstly, it's essential to note that Israel is not solely battling against Hamas, but also a range of approximately twelve other armed groups.

Additionally, there are salafi-jihadist groups operating in Gaza that oppose both Hamas and Israel, but will likely join the fighting against Israeli soldiers. The majority of the groups engaged in the current conflict were also present during the 2014 ground invasion.

These groups have learned valuable lessons from 2014 and are likely better equipped and prepared for the Israelis. Tunnels, IEDs, RPGs, guided missiles, mortars, small arms fire and drones will be a significant obstacle the Israelis will have to overcome.

While drones deployed by Hamas did not play a major role in the Gaza conflict of 2014, their potential impact is now heightened with the emergence of Islamic Jihad possessing this capability. This was evident during the recent surprise attack on October 7th.

The important question that many analysts in this field are likely asking themselves is to what extent Iran is willing to protect their Palestinian allies in Gaza. Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other groups are facing a potential collapse in Gaza. Is Iran willing to save them?

It is interesting to see the objections from people that all internet and cell phone communication has been cut in Gaza. They act as if this is some terrible war crime that cannot stand.

No, Israel effectively removed Hamas's communications abilities. It will now be much more difficult for them to coordinate defense efforts. It is a logical action by Israel.

Multiple news outlets are now fretting over the safety of their correspondents.

statements like this really put the “punch Nazi” ANTIFA freaks in a pickle. Of course their only retort would to become antisemitic and call Israeli Jews Nazis which is just as funny.

The “whatever reason” is the 100 billion dollars (or whatever nonsense number it was) congress passed to send to “Israel for aide” is 60% allocated to Ukraine and also portioned out to Gaza


That’s because our politicians get kickbacks from Ukraine but the Jews keep it all.

It seems that Israel will engage the Gazan factions in a long & exhausting marathon of successive clashes, and hit&run operations. Thus it will create military pockets in 3 areas (east of al-Bureij-Beit Hanoun-Beit Lahya) that it can strengthen for the final ground operation.

Cutting off all communication to a population of 2.2 million is unacceptable. Journalists, medical professionals, humanitarian efforts, and innocents are all endangered.

I do not know how such an act can be defended. The United States has historically denounced this practice.
