IDF: Whoops, tee hee.

  • It took them years to prepare that operation. It was against Hezbollah, not Hamas, because they saw them as the bigger threat.

    The war in Gazah is barbaric, but the sensible immediate alternative would have been a very targeted operation to find and rescue the hostages, not something like this.

          Maybe they should have chose to make something other than an omelette then…

            Some Israelis have to die to save other israelis but that’s just the side show.

            The real event is the genocide against the Palestinian peoples

      And it required Hezbollah to have no concept of logistic security. Maybe Hamas is not as amateurish as Hezbollah in that regard.

        Historically Hamas has been the amateurs and Hezbollah the pros. Hezbollah has actual victories against the IDF. Hamas’ military success last October was completely unprecedented. Its generally believed that Hezbollah trained Hamas into the fighting force it is now. And since Iran trained Hezbollah you get people claiming Hamas is an Iranian puppet.
