That's a wild number. Even though Israel was slow to get moving, once the reinforcements arrived, the IDF slaughtered them.



I bet Israel set up the invasion so they could mobilize and take over the Gaza strip as retribution.

This bit here from Bibi's speech:
quote:

- The internal division in Israel is a thing of the past

Combined with Egypt's assertions that they did, in fact, warn Israel of a significant attack brewing is something that would make a cynic say, "Hmmmmmm....".

Unidentified warplanes just bombed an Iran-linked military convoy travelling between Iraq and Syria, near the cities of Al-Qa'im (Iraq) and Al-Bukamal (Syria)

Analysis in The Atlantic by Eliot A. Cohen who served in the State Department under George W. Bush.

This Debacle Will Transform Israel

The IDF has a record of exceptionally rapid recovery, and it is already adapting.

What hundreds of thousands of Israeli protesters alarmed by a proposed judicial reform could not do to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, five or six grim-faced retired judges, generals, and civil servants probably will.

Hmmmm, the fact that they almost entered Damascus, Cairo, and the capital of Lebanon ring a bell? They could probably go anywhere in the Middle East if they chose to


Air strikes and missiles on Damascus in Yum Kippur is not the same as being able to invade Syria. Even then, they basically exhausted their military just getting to the outskirts of Damascus. As I said, they have a great military, one of the best defensive militaries in the world.

Its Supreme Court currently has Muslims, Christians and Jews


It has one Muslim who was appointed in 2022 (the first Muslim permanently appointed). I'm not aware of any Christian actively serving on the Court, although I could be wrong. There certainly aren't multiple ones.

Probably Israel with US supplied intelligence.

JUST IN: Al-Badrasawi Tower in Al-Shifa was targeted in a strike, footage captures the moments after the impact.

The targeting of Al-Badrasawi Tower is a rather significant one, it has heavy ties to Senior Hamas Officials and is in close proximity to Al-Shifa Hospital and a Hamas Command Center.

I hate to say it but the hostages' lives are already lost. Bibi doesn't frick around, 100 people will not stop him from leveling Gaza.

As for the Israel/Iran talk... The unspoken understanding is that we have been holding Israel back from sending bombers to take out the nuclear sites. IMO the talks with the Saudis may be the only thing keeping those bombers on the ground. If they were to align with the US & Israel I think you could see all 3 countries going on those bombing missions. Leaders in the countries that matter are far closer to us than Iran.

The Egypt assertion has been proven false. No early warning came from Egypt and the Israeli Prime Minister has not spoken or met with Egypt's intelligence chief since the government was established.

They only stopped because of AMerican pressure to. They could have conquered all of Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt and put a rabbi in place to rule them if they wanted and not have been forced to stop.

100%

Any hostages rescued will be a happy bonus, but the majority of them are, unfortunately, as good as dead.

This invasion won’t amount to much unless Israel regards “civilians” as enemy combatants and wipes out Gaza.

In real warfare hiding behind civilians does not work. You simply shoot at the bad guys and if they are hiding behind someone, they are shot also. We did it in WWII, every side did it. You can't risk your mens lives. At most you holler once to "get down".

I don't disagree 100%, especially regarding American pressure. If nothing was going on I'm not meaning Israel military wouldn't have success in say Lebanon or Syria alone. Trying to maintain order in Gaza and on Lebanon border with Hezbollah, currently, Israel isn't going to be going after Iran or Syria. Maybe a little shelling but that's it.
