I’m sure they appreciate your faux concern. Any other civilians you have sympathy for out of the 36,000 - the majority of whom women and children - slaughtered at the hands of Israel?

You need to switch your sarcasm radar on.

Amazing. Being held hostage in “civilian” buildings………………
I'm amazed too they found any building to house them in given the large number of buildings erased to the ground.

I doubt there were any military buildings left to use if they wanted to.

They couldn’t have been held in a hospital then.

Re: Hamas Israel War

A story to watch in case anyone else follows suit.
Quote:
Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz quits over lack of post-war Gaza plan

Israel's war cabinet minister has resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's emergency government.

Benny Gantz said leaving his post was a "complex and painful decision" to make but Mr Netanyahu was "preventing real victory" over Hamas, the militant group Israel has been fighting in Gaza for the past eight months.

Mr Gantz, one of Israel's three war cabinet ministers, said during a televised news conference on Sunday that he was leaving "with a heavy heart but with full confidence".

Mr Gantz called on the PM to set an election date as he was making "total victory impossible", while also saying the government must put the return of the hostages seized by Hamas "above political survival".

'Why bomb us?': At least 40 killed in Israeli airstrike on UN school in Gaza

AN ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE on a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza has killed at 40 people, according to Hamas’ al-Aqsa television broadcaster.

The Israeli military said its fighter jets struck the school run by the United Nations agency providing aid to the Palestinians, UNRW.

UNRWA’s commissioner general Philippe Lazzarini said that Israel had bombed the school “without prior warning” given to the 6,000 displaced Palestinians sheltering there. “Another horrific day in Gaza.”

Why would there be “military” buildings in a refugee camp.

As I said, I’m just hopeful non of the innocent civilians that were holding the hostages against their will in their non-military buildings for eight months were injured.

Re: Hamas Israel War

Somehow, I think you may being disingenuous in your purported sympathy for the dead and maimed children, as their active involvement in holding hostages is unlikely…

No idea, but then again I didn't mention a refugee camp.

With 36,000 Gazans killed by IDF operations since 7/10, I fear your hope may be ill placed.

Re: Hamas Israel War

How do you identify a member of Hezbollah?

His trousers are on fire.

Re: Hamas Israel War

I would not be terribly surprised if this action was not a precursor to something bigger.

Israel have just disrupted Hezbollah’s 3C* Command Structure by destroying their communications, and killing/injuring those who actually command and control the Hezbollah forces.

Best time to attack the enemy is when they are in a confused state, with lack of overall command to co-ordinate response.

* Command, control, and communications (C3) systems are fundamental to all military operations, delivering the critical information necessary to plan, coordinate, and control forces and operations

Re: Hamas Israel War

Videos are starting to appear on Xitter now - CCTV from marketplaces etc. it’s grim stuff. One moment it’s just a lot of apparently ordinary people going about their business and then suddenly one of them gets his balls blown off. Reports are now saying there were thousands of these booby-trapped pagers in circulation and hundreds of people are critically injured.
