Today: Collecting soldiers like Pokémon cards

Correction:

The news that the “IDF is evacuating air bases near which Al-Qassam elements are approaching in the Gaza Strip envelope for fear of the resistance putting warplanes at risk” is false.

Arad is located near the Dead Sea. The context of the video is not clear.

🚨 Israel launches Operation Iron Swords

Preparing for war...

Unlike Lebanon in 2006, Palestinians were slow to hide the prisoners and disperse the civilians this morning. They celebrated too early when they should be preparing for war. They failing to use this time might risk losing the prisoners, if their location is identified during the upcoming ground invasion.

Israeli accounts have mentioned the number of 35 captured Israelis. Prisoners and corpses will be exchanged. Israeli corpses will be exchanged against Palestinians who were denied of a tomb and hold in Numbers Cemeteries in Zionist military sites, in violation of all humanitarian and international norms.

Hezbullah:

"The leadership of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon is closely keeping pace with important developments on the Palestinian arena, following it in direct contact with the leadership of the Palestinian resistance at home and abroad, and conducts a continuous assessment of the events and of the course of operations."

Netanyahu in Hebrew to the Israelis: “We are not in a military operation—we are at war! Large calling up of reserve soldiers is underway!”

A ground invasion in Gaza is expected.

Israeli Army Radio: Muhammad Al-Deif is the leader of this amazing disinformation operation. All Israeli intelligence estimates indicated that Hamas did not want escalation. Muhammad Al-Deif, whom we failed to assassinate dozens of times, is currently leading the battle in the rear.

IDF publishes footage of strikes on Hamas assets in the Gaza Strip. Air Force jets have used so far more than 16 tons of munitions.

Comment:
Hopefully, Hamas fighter groups work in small groups, not moving together, and don't stay too stationary. It cannot work as if IDF is only infantry and not a superior airforce.
