Israeli Forces Reportedly Getting Crucial Intelligence From Unlikely Source
2023-11-17
[Townhall] Israeli forces have cut the Gaza Strip in two, surrounded Gaza City, and are tightening the noose around the reported nerve center of Hamas. Before the ground invasion began on October 28, Israel pounded the strip with artillery and air strikes, killing scores of terrorists and their leaders. Many have hidden in the matrix of tunnels, which has been an operational concern for the IDF. They’re booby-trapped. It’s nearly impossible to see, and some tunnels are 250+ feet underground. So far, Israel has been able to make inroads, but some 30-40,000 Hamas terrorists remain embedded in the strip like ticks. They’ll be uprooted, especially now that re-supply from Iran is now impossible. It will take time.

Hamas’ grip has loosened enough that scores of civilians have been able to make to make it safety. Terrorists are still shooting at Gazans trying to flee south, but those who have made it to IDF lines have reportedly been providing valuable intelligence on the whereabouts of Hamas hideouts and weapons stashes. The IDF did a leaflet drop, promising financial compensation for any information on the whereabouts of the 200-plus civilians that were taken by Hamas on October 7. Most who replied didn’t want money, just safe passage out of the war zone:

But so obvious that I still think he might be a droll bit of puppetry. [dangling Herb dances madly... goose-steps... turns out empty pockets, glares upward, shakes fist]

#7  Ebbease Panda9307 is another lefty type by the way his brain works, lazy brain. He compartmentalises people into classes like Marxists.
So for him Jews think all the same about everything...

#6  You can't run a brutal criminal enterprise gummint like Hamas does and not create lots of people who will go against their normal leanings for some payback-by-proxy. The tribes in Afghanistan set NATO troops on their feud opponents at every opportunity.

Not that I have a problem with that...

#2  For the last couple of months the amount of red pilling in the population has been stunning. It's raining red pills. It started with Keith's BanTheADL campaign and it's now culminating with Israel's military campaign against Gaza. We're watching a propaganda empire crumbling in real time. Support for Israel is collapsing even among young American Evangelicals. The only gentiles in America who still support it are boomercons and neoliberals. And it's not just Zionists who are being affected. It's Jews in general. Just go on Twitter and you see people openly talking about it everywhere. I mean, even Elon himself now openly agrees with the statement that anti-white hatred has been pushed by forces of the organized Jewish community. Which it has, he's not wrong here. Literally tens of millions of people -- if not hundreds of millions -- are seeing this unravel right in front of their eyes. It's nuts. How does Israel recover?

#1  Human intelligence provided 'after' the boom. Better now than never I suppose.
