To be clear about something:

The Israeli army has a certain threshold of accepting a loss in deterrence or unequal response/attack.

Today's pre-emptive attack on Gaza could likely be mimicked against Lebanon over Hezbullah's threats soon.

⋯ The Israeli occupation names its aggression “Operation Breaking Dawn”.

Gantz meeting today with the councils of the Gaza Envelope settlements was to inform them about the operation.

2- The IDF strengthened its economic siege on Gaza, closing all border crossings since 2 ⁠August.

3- The IDF launched today a military attack on Gaza: “Operation Breaking Dawn”.
