And often have conflicting priorities that they need to balance.
Yes and we all know which way the scales lean to.

There was nothing about the north on the 4 oclock news...
Though its sort of disconcerting when the ancor interupts himself in the flow of delivering the news to announce azakot (in the darom) a number of times during the bullitin
What's disconcerting about it?

Statistically, one has more chances of getting hurt / killed running to the shelter. Nobody in the yeshivas is leaving the beis medrash, but then again we don't hear it.

All these "predictions" aren't necessarily wrong. Just because Mashiach is slated to come doesn't mean he will if we still don't deserve it. When we hear things like this it should spark teshuva, not complacency.

The highest echelons of leadership aren’t in Gaza, they and their families live in luxury in Qatar and Turkey

I heard it was mainly sinwar and Mohamed deif among others

That basically writes off the hostages

They might have intel about where the (or many) of the hostages might or might not be. Keep in mind we’re talking hundreds of miles of tunnels and loads of underground infrastructure.

Just the matter of fact and
To sort of translate it for US based people it would be sort of like
"The Rangers last night compleated their win of the word series, Arizona starting pitcher - Sirens in Jackson, Toms River, North of the Lake - Zac Gallentook the tough luck loss after no hiiten the Rangers through 6, while the rangers corey - sirens in brick, sirens in Boro Park, bensonhurst - seger was named MVP.
In other news, President Biden announced that his admin - Sirens in CLE, DET, BAL,.... - administration will be backing a house bill to provide...."

can be just a ploy. show hamas that they're bombing the tunnels, so hamas will offer the hostages for something more realistic. if they went through the hassle of keeping them alive for so long, they would want something to show for it..

Are the terrorists in the West Bank as organized as in Gaza, or are these small cells that act alone?

+1, the Israeli policy places an outsized value on preservation of Israeli lives.

ETA: They also place outsized value on the preservation of Palestinian civilian lives as seen in the unconventional efforts they make to clear civilians from battle areas, but that’s not what we were talking about

From the river to the sea Israel will be free (of terror).
