Looking at the preparations Israel does for its response I'm afraid at the end of it Gaza will be Carthage.
The loss of lives was painful but for Israel just as painful was the humiliation and the signal of weakness given to its other enemies. And there are enough of them.
Probably they're going to throw everything at it.
Remember the battles of Bakhmut, Mariupol or Aleppo? Look out for IDF heavy losses in a ground operation. Israellian families can't afford to loose sons & daughters.
Yes, probably that would be the case.
I'm afraid this time Israel sees it as an existential threat to the statehood.
They already set two objectives: destroy Hamas fighting capabilities and stop Hamas from ruling Gaza.
Can't do that without invading and taking control of it.
Their main problem, as you probably imply, is that there's another Gaza, underground. They cannot take it without leveling it to its foundations.
Yes, probably big losses both sides...
Indeed some are just mobilized kids with guns and tech; poor families that cannot escape, fanatisms on both sides, never endings desires for revenge, repeating over and over again. It’s a mess… one that should teach us all to value peace more, and on time deescalation of differences because once things reach this kind of level it’s just pure human evil unleashed…
tel aviv will look the same soon
Well that's also the stated reason for why the Americans sent ships and aircraft closer to Israel, I think Biden also said it to anyone listening in that area "don't think about doing something while Israel is busy dealing with this".
a sunk aircraft carrier will change things
