How Israel’s Feared Security Services Failed to Stop Hamas’s Attack Israel’s military and espionage services are considered among the world’s best, but on Saturday, operational and intelligence failures led to the worst breach of Israeli defenses in half a century. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/10/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-security-failure.html
In regards to point number 2 - What military force can Israel dedicate to Gaza operations and still have sufficient military force in the north to deal with a possible attack by Hezbollah? It appears that Israel is dedicating tens of thousands of troops to deal with Hezbollah at the northern border while still preparing for ground-based action in Gaza. In the north, The Hezbollah militants are firing rockets and other munitions into Israel and the IDF is firing back. The IDF also stopped attempted incursions by Hezbollah. It is not surprising that Hezbollah has joined the action since both Hamas and Hezbollah are being directed by Iran which provided the planning, funding and support for the attacks. Israel responds to Hezbollah attack from Lebanon deploying 'tens of thousands' to northern border https://www.foxnews.com/world/israe...anon-deploying-tens-thousands-northern-border
I don't deny the holocaust why would I? There is proof. But I would not trust if such proof did not exist and I only heard from "journalists" claiming something. You are a right wing extremist Jew who spouts lies all day long to suit your rhetoric. Your ilk stole land and now wants to push the entire remaining Palestinian population out of your annected territory which was never yours to begin with. That is what is really going on. All that after you have maintained an overpopulated zoo for 56 long years and committed apartheid. Of course you immediate play your "anti semite card" when you hear the truth that you don't like.
They have 200,000 active, they have recalled 300,000 younger reservists and most of their Israel born population were military trained, there are grandmothers and great grandmothers who can pick up a gun and remember training pretty quick. More importantly understand command and following orders. No surrounding countries are mobilising for an invasion. Five-to six million mostly children looking at the Palestinian population demographic up against educated sophisticated adults. Outrage is being fanned to the max to overwhelm conscience for a time. The Palestinians are pretty fucked. The Israelis know to keep support then they have to crush children under concrete, not behead them is all. I just hope internally there are enough good people at work to pull this back the very shrill calls for genocide.
