Stay safe mate. Let’s hope Hamas are the Wexford of the terrorist world when it comes to accuracy.

right we’re back
they had a pretty sustained attack between 9 - 9-30 pm however the Iron Dome again managed to take out most of what they had.
They fired a bunch of those Fajr rockets that they got from Iran, we had 4 warnings, 2 were shot down, the rest ended up on open ground and the motorway from Gush Etzion to TelAviv.
It was a little eerie there around 9, there was total quiet here with people just looking out their balconies waiting for the siren, its hard to decribe, you know there is a very low chance they thing will get thru but the 20s of silence waiting for the bang after the siren still freaks me out a bit.
In response the IAF told residents of the Northern part of Gaza to get out ( go where exactly) as in the next 24 hours they are launching a “final” attack to destroy Hamas.
The response will be portrayed as massive and there will be civilian casualties but the fact remains Israel has had Hamas target civilians non stop for the past 5 days with indiscriminate rocket fire and this cant continue.
Three more rockets fell on Nahariya and the western galillee tonight from Lebanon,
I have no idea how this will end… I can see Hamas pulling out suicide bombers before the week is out

It took 25 years to establish Israeli dominance over the arabs (48 - 73). Jordan & Egypt went neutral leaving Syria as a danger but not a real threat. The play since the 80s has been to have shia fight Sunni and divert attention and resources. Is that going to change now and.present a new realistic threat? It does not seem likely.

Day 6,

for a place that is meant to be starving Hamas certainly have the funds for ammunition

more rockets all night at southern Israel and a few on TA this morning

there was a huge party in Gaza last night after they launched that barrage at Tel Aviv .

The Iron Dome has been a total game changer for Israel in this conflict, at 21 million USD per unit at 50K USD per interception it certainly is costing the country a fortune but it is saving lives… of course the fact the no one is dying in israel yet means that the international media couldn’t give a fuck.

The fact remains that a terror organisation just fires rockets day in day out with the goal to kill civilians on Israeli territory is ignored, the question remains what can israel do? they evacuated Gush Katif in 2005 leaving Gaza 100% in PA control as per request, Hamas then overthrew the PA in 2007 and declared the destruction of the Israeli state. Israel gets flack for closing its border to Gaza but what can they expect when they want to destroy the country? …

its a mess, The Egyptians closed their border at Rafah as Hamas have turned Sinai in a madhouse so now you have 1.2 million people unable to leave this strip of land, even the government in Ramallah dosent give a fuck about them, they are dependent on israel for everything also as ever cent Hamas receives is used for developing its weapons infrastructure.

so what happens, they keep firing rockets into israeli territitory, isarel respond with air attacks inevitably killing huge numbers in these densely populated area where rockest are fired from kindergartens…

there is no end to this

Israel attacked the area around Khan Younis today to wipe out the rocket launching areas, I was down around Kiryat Malachi earlier and you could hear the explosions, it was frightening… some poor fuckers are dying awful deaths right now
