"The civilian evacuation "will be completed today," and then we'll turn it into a parking lot.

To be clear they’re evacuating Israeli citizens from those towns. Presumably they’ll leave the towns alone but want to make sure there aren’t civilians that close to the fighting.

It will be interesting to see how this affects their culture war. Well, I don't suppose I'll know, because all culture war news is filtered by whomever is telling it. On this morning's shellshocked Bari Weiss podcast, her Israeli guest predicted the Bibi government "won't survive this". But it can't be lost on many that their left, anti-Bibi side was recently bragging about the members of the military who said they would refuse to show up for Bibi. I wonder what those members of the military are publicly saying now that shit got real.

I suspect it's either show up or the consequences will be very severe.

The USS Gerald R. Ford the Navy’s newest and most advanced aircraft carrier, and its approximately 5,000 sailors and deck of warplanes will be accompanied by cruisers and destroyers in a show of force that is meant to be ready to respond to anything, from possibly interdicting additional weapons from reaching Hamas and conducting surveillance.
The large deployment, which also includes a host of ships and warplanes, underscores the concern that the United States has in trying to deter the conflict from growing. The Israeli government formally declared war Sunday and gave the green light for “significant military steps” to retaliate against Hamas. -
My bad those dimensions are Gaza city not the whole strip. The strip is 4 Napervilles.
Still it’s narrow, between 6-12 km. With only 20k soldiers you could literally stand shoulder to shoulder across the strip at it’s widest point.

Yes, I was surprised at how small the land dimensions are of Gaza strip.

Just saw a purported Hamas video in which they show several captured Israeli generals and key naval personnel. Fake?

Wow. They’re still fighting to take back their own land.
Israel’s military acknowledged on Monday that it was still battling to drive Palestinian militants out of southern towns near the Gaza Strip and that more militants could still be crossing through breaches in the border fence, two days after an invasion that has killed hundreds and provoked furious retaliatory strikes by Israel.
“We are still fighting,” Lt. Col. Richard Hecht of the Israel Defense Forces said at a briefing on Monday morning, offering an unusually blunt assessment of the military’s struggles to turn back the invasion that began on Saturday. “We thought by this morning we’d be in a better place.”
