You are such haters. All the cancer wants to do is to live freely, and those genocidal murderers just blast it with radiation and poison, killing it and so many innocent cells around it.

Ceasefire now!

צה"ל הודיע על יציאתה של אוגדה 36 מרצועת עזה, כחלק מתוכנית הלחימה. האוגדה לקחה חלק משמעותי בלחימה והשתתפה בפירוק המסגרות הצבאיות של חמאס בצפון הרצועה. עוד נמסר מצה"ל כי ברצועה נותרו כעת 3 אוגדות לוחמות, לצד כוחות מיוחדים, אשר ממשיכות להילחם בכלל חלקי הרצועה.

more and more units are leaving, and havent seen any news or real activity on the Rafiah end (where the weapons are being smuggled in via tunnels)

Tzeva Edom was still active today in the Otef area.  how are we done?

unless the aim is now only on the top 3

And again
מטח כבד נורה לדרום ממרכז הרצועה - אזור שצה"ל עזב רק אתמול:

If they wouldn't have had Iron Dome they might have eliminated Hamas and PIJ capabilities years ago.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Most definitely. As many lives as it has saved over the years, long term it may have indirectly caused more damage.

Random things I've noticed/heard/wondered about recently and a rant maybe
.
Seems Yad Mordechai have been given the green light to return home - the question is will they, at this point? - @moe8555 (hope you're doing well!)

Thanks! Our situation is the same.  The green light was a huge misunderstanding and supposedly will be reversed since there are still no schools or services in the area.  You can officially go back, but only about 70 (mostly single and elderly people) have for obvious reasons.

OTOH, it allowed Israel to live in peace for many years. You can't discount that.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

What good was the "peace"?
So they could shoot rockets indiscriminately?
So they could plan oct. 7?
So they could stockpile millions of weapons?
The "peace" was an illusion. Just like the wall of china, the Maginot line, and so many other defenses throughout history...

The practicality of being in a peaceful situation without feeling worried is worth something

Seems like with the air defense systems, the enemy firing at you is no longer considered a declaration of war, for whatever reason. Same with the Houthis and other terror group in the ME, as long there is no US casualties they must not respond.

only the towns that did not experience the rockets where somewhat not worried. Those that did had constant worry.

“The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an official announcement that, with the help of France and Qatar, an agreement was reached between Israel and Hamas to bring in medicine and trucks with humanitarian equipment for the benefit of the citizens of the Strip, in exchange for bringing in medicine for the Israeli hostages in Gaza.
The medicines will be sent tomorrow to the El Arish field in Sinai in preparation for the introduction into the Gaza Strip.”

Pray that the medicine actually makes it to the hostages, & hopefully the Israelis were able to get something into the shipment that can help them in pinpointing the locations.

Rediculous that this is being billed as the first step towards a potential future hostage deal when red cross visits to all hostages was a condition of the prior hostage deal. Who's going to confirm the patients recieved the medication, when we don't even have confirmation that they are alive?

Pray that the medicine actually makes it to the hostages, & hopefully the Israelis were able to get something into the shipment that can help them in pinpointing the locations.

Underground? It's unlikely that'll work. If anything they'll try to follow where it's brought, to the extent possible.
