Good morning all! Sipping hot coco here, reading news. The world is about to watch an extremely ugly and bloody urban war in Gaza soon.
Could be a quick battle. They’ve spent decades preparing for this battle. Now it gave the Israeli government a reason to finish the job.
They already have advanced specialist spies working in Gaza which is how they could locate 250 hostages.
Once the most hostages are recovered it’s game over for HAMAS.
Knowing history of urban battles, it will be long and bloody process. You talking room by room, stair by stair, toilet by toilet type shootouts which will burnout units in days of intense combat.
Yes urban combat definitely has its own challenges. But knowing the country you’re invading inside out is half the battle.
Israel fought many of its neighbours many times over, in enemies’ territories some more. Their soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped for low-intensity urban conflicts.
Also they have complete air superiority, they don’t have to comb room-by-room when they could just launch a precision air-strike. collateral damage is another issue to consider…
burnout units in days of intense combat.
True, but israeli men and women have compulsory military service, they could call up many reservists. that + Uncle Sam readily supply munitions
I dont think IDF will have a smooth sailing bro. The casualties on both sides will be horrendous.
yawn morning~ very early today huh?
