— 🚨🚀 Red Alert on Israeli-Lebanese Border!
The situation in Gaza is hopefully going to conclude soon. IDF gave two signs of that today when CoS said the operation needs two more days and the re-opening of Erez border crossing.
Lack of rocket fire from Gaza today and very brief night attacks by the IDF are mutual gestures

This conflict has a clear winner who came on top and was successful in showing dominance in fire power, but failed greatly in killing any leaders or denying the ability to fire rockets. That's what it's all about and rockets kept on being fired at a steady rate. Small but steady
Israel caused a great toll on civilian infrastructure. All will be rebuilt more beautiful than it was. Any damage to the resistance can be rebuilt. It's part of the challenge of dealing with far superior occupation forces.
HAMAS showed in this battle that it is the most dominant force in Gaza and PIJ much weaker than expected. Hamas was successful in preserving its firepower and showed impressive coordination between leadership orders, media, and ability to launch at orders. C & C was preserved.
HAMAS tried to create a new deterrence, connecting Gaza to Jerusalem, forcing the occupation into certain consensus on those areas. How successful? This will be judged in the months and years to come.
The conflict showed how Jerusalemites are close to Hamas and are open about it. A milestone overcome thanks to the 1948-occupied Palestinians. Such unity with Gaza for the first time, and the will to riot and lynch Israeli soldiers, is the most important development in decades.

IDF's response to Gaza focused on two things:
1- Critically wounding Hamas and allies,
2- Enhancing old deterrence and displaying firepower to instil fear in other adverseries (e.g Hezbullah).
It was a display of IDF's new doctrine of "few days battle".

IDF is an aggressor force who has no right to self-defense. It failed in its strategy of ending a threat, due to its fear of casualties if it invaded Gaza. They only bought time. Time that Hamas will use to rebuild and prepare.
Gaza never had the power nor will it have the power to cause an existential threat to Israel. Gaza is like a knife that cuts.
Gaza's far superior rule will be in the big war when it will be the knife that will stab from the back when the concentration of power is looking north.

In addition to that, there are a few points to remember (I might expand on them later)
1- The geography of Gaza is very bad for defense and offensive. It's sand. No mountains, no valleys, no forests. That, and the huge civilian concentration, makes it hard to operate from.

2- The Iron Dome was very successful. It proved its worth yet again, but it is far from tested against a better adversary, with much bigger firepower and military-grade rockets that are faster.
IDF used 6 Iron Dome batteries facing Gaza (6 × 4 launchers × 20 interceptors = 480 interceptors). With its theoretical rate (90%), it can stop all rockets from Gaza.
With a rate of just 50%, the 6 batteries can stop 240 rockets (1 interceptor / rocket). The biggest barrage from Gaza was 130 rockets... it was not even equal to IDF defense.

Zionists are evil who keep secrets, but hiding casualties is something they don't do.
Neither them nor the US military. We need to get over this unfounded rhetoric.

West Bank and Interior (Palestinians with Israeli citizenship) started their open strike in protest of the occupation and the aggression on Gaza.
Seen on the pictures, Yafa, part of the strike despite the decades of attempts to judify it.
