This is the final consequence of employing perfidy and treachery against your enemies.

Eventually, choosing to hide in hospitals and schools, and surrounding yourself with children human shields isn't effective.

I warned against this at the start of the conflict. Perfidy and treachery is a very unsustainable tactic - it may work at the start, but when you incorporate it into your military doctrine, your enemy will begin to recognize children and schools/hospitals as legitimate targets.

They played themselves. Laws of war and Honour in war exist for a reason and Hamas is finding out why. People tune out the sob stories. Boy who cried wolf.

A precision strike I would think means real-time intel. They didn't know he left? Or did they just legitimately want to kill 2 x 4 day olds a mother and a grandmother. Its honestly getting hard to tell.

Hezbollah apparently getting curb stomped by massive Israeli strikes

Btw, has Iran already launched its big retaliaton strike against Israel?

Has Israel defeated hamas yet? Kinda been awhile.

Has the imperialistic Islamic world defeated Israel yet ? They are only trying that since 48.. been a while..
patience is the name of the game in the ME.

No they have not. I'm glad yall are starting to turn up the heat against hezbollah though; the North has been a shit-show for too long. There's enough American naval assets near the ME to somewhat help protect against retaliatory Iran/hezz attacks, so I would imagine that nows a pretty good time to green light Lebanon.

I may fundamentally disagree with how the Israelis handled the Gaza situation but I have no qualms against the IAF turning the ME into a parking lot but you gota make sure uncle sam is in lock-step with you for things to run smoothly. Uncle sam getting involved is inevitable at this point(imo)

Unless Iran literally nukes Israel, there's no chance in hell the current US administration greenlights a major involvement of their own troops before the November election. This issue is killing the Democrats with college students and progressives, they want it to go away or to remain as muted as possible. If the Middle East becomes the major storyline again, that's a huge blow to Democrats by default.

they bombed them enough to have some peace and quiet at least for a while

Why not?

There's like 1/3rd of the US navy near the ME. They just sent another aircraft carrier aswell a couple of days ago and there was a massive deployment of f22s to Cyprus. Israel needs these assets close by if it goes balls deep into Lebanon(which imo they will) because there comes a certain point in time where Hezbollah might realize that the reason why they're losing is because Uncle Sam is shooting down all their expensive Iranian produced toys.

Israel doesn't need American boots on the ground, it just needs Uncle Sam's divinely inspired perfection in AA a la navy. I think Israel/Israelis dont give a shit about American politics anymore (hence why they started their own domestic production of military toys) because they realized that Uncle sam will cuck out and not send munitions to Israel because BLM owns the states.



Peace and quiet? No.
