Hamas came up with an excellent plan, strategy, and element of surprise in this operation. The outcome is stunning no doubt.Wow
To be honest I am shocked at how weak Israel actually is
A small pushback and they fall over
However, WE cannot assume that Israel is weak or finished.
Israel has regained control of the situation and is bombing Gaza while IDF is mobilizing on a big scale. Israeli leader Netanyahu has pointed out that this will be a long fight (read between the lines if you will). God knows what will become of fate of Hamas and Gazans in the end.
The point is that WE live in times of social media and battles are better documented than before. WE get to see things in motion. WE get to see both losses and exploits of each side up close. This is war - it is ugly business and both sides will suffer casualties but look at the maps. The maps tell you everything you need to know about the situation on the ground.
IDF has dealt with impressive odds before. Take a look:
Egypt recovered its lands from IDF with peace talks and recognition of Israel in 1978 (Camp David Accords).
Palestinians were allowed to govern their lands with US-mediated negotiations in 2000 (Oslo Accords).
Now Hamas is in the picture.
It is sad to see what has become of Palestinians in this conflict.
The original British mandated Palestine was the best solution.
But people are driven by sentiments and do not understand or foresee things.
