Israeli defence officials and former senior intelligence officers have said they expect fighting in Gaza to continue for at least a year, raising the prospect of thousands more civilian casualties, a deepening humanitarian crisis and a continuing grave threat to regional stability.
In a briefing, R Adm Daniel Hagari, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said the centre and south of Gaza, where military efforts are now focused, was “dense and saturated with terrorists” with “an underground city of branching tunnels”.
Three months would be needed to clear the area and fighting would “continue during the year 2024”, Hagari said.
He said scattered fighting was to be expected in northern Gaza, along with rockets sporadically being launched from there toward Israel, but that Hamas militants were “without a framework and without commanders”.
Over 8,000 of them terrorist fighters. All of whom intentionally caused as many of the other deaths as possible. All in the hopes that weak minded people with poor reasoning would ignore that what got the others killed is Hamas’s war crime (literally) of colocation.
Hamas support is at an all time high. Their charter is literally genocide. But Hamas killing Gaza residents works, just look at the parade of stupid on WorldNews.
So Israel killed a child and a civilian for every single “enemy combatant” (i.e male over 13) and that makes you happy?
You’re okay with 2 million people being homeless, starving to death, with hundreds of thousands injured and maimed? With Israel’s Ministers of security calling for mass deportation of Palestinians? With the outright murder of journalists?
Your stance is clear. You support genocide as long as its killing people you hate. That makes you something much worse than weak minded. It makes you a monster.
