Hamas attacks Israel

@LuFins-Dad said in Hamas attacks Israel:
Egypt could always supply them, you know… Gaza is not bordered on all sides by Israel…
Egypt has discussed plans with the United States and others to provide humanitarian aid through its border with Gaza Strip but rejects any move to set up safe corridors for refugees fleeing the enclave, Egyptian security sources said on Wednesday.
Gaza, a tiny coastal strip of land wedged between Israel in the north and east and Egypt to the southwest, is home to some 2.3 million people who have been living under a blockade since Palestinian Islamist group Hamas took control there in 2007.
Egypt has long restricted the flow of Gazans on to its territory, even during the fiercest conflicts.
Cairo, a frequent mediator between Israel and the Palestinians, always insists the two sides resolve conflicts within their borders, saying this the only way Palestinians can secure their right to statehood.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The Palestinians are the trash and troublemakers of the neighborhood. No Arab country wants them. They'll use them, but they don't want them.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

@Horace said in Hamas attacks Israel:
A lame duck government leading a war. Hm. That could lead to some strange incentives and a lack of accountability.
Israel is a parliamentary democracy, not a republic. As such there is no such thing as a lame duck government as in a US/republican governance but rather, in the case of Israel, a coalition of cooperating parties. More accountability not less. If Bibi’s Likud had an absolute majority then you would be correct, there would be a door open for a lack of accountability. At least until the next election.

Former PM Bennett deals with a reporter:

@George-K said in Hamas attacks Israel:
...Hamas likely avoided using any electronic devices to communicate plans of their attack.
Something came across me that said that when they did use electronic communication, they assumed they were all monitored by Israel an put out false information on them.

The IDF has notified Gaza that citizens have 24 hours (ending about 21:00 CDT) to evacuate the northern part of the area.
And then things will get serious-er.
Granted the distances aren't huge, but we're still talking about a million people.
Meanwhile Hamas is saying "Stay in your homes."

Hamas wants the PR value.

Wow this is hard to read.

Israel has dropped thousands of papers over downtown gaza city telling them they have 24 hours to evacuate (I think that was like 12 hours ago), with a map showing a line of where they need to move beyond (aka south towards Egypt, to the southern part of the Gaza strip). Anyway... it's usually what happens before a town is about to get absolutely leveled. Could happen tomorrow?
