Makes sense for Israel to delay any ground attack in Gaza. The only reason to move quickly are the hostages but I'm certain special forces will be working to attempt some kind of rescue.
Going in on the ground has huge risks for Israel. Not only perhaps 20,000 Hamas fighters waiting for exactly that situation, but also Hezbollah potentially willing to open a second front in the north.
Acting quickly in the heat of the moment could be costly. Hamas have very little options if Israel besiege Gaza and remove power, water, food and medicine. Its not humane and I don't personally agree with it.
However Israelis might feel like they have justification, at least able to convince themselves of that; And honestly at this point, who is going to stop them?

He probably made them.
You all said it was me. The same way you were all convinced the US destroyed NS2, based off the utterance of a single journalist; And anybody who disagreed was wrong or uninformed. Then you changed all changed minds few weeks later based off some other circumstantial evidence
Just whoever you disagree with most on that day, that's who you accuse?
Living in a world where the narrative is more important than the evidence. No wonder so many people shill for authoritarian liars.
