I have doubts about IDF ground forces, they shown terrible in 2006, but also recently crashed their own tank into a truck killing one them and requiring a crane to put the tank back on its trailer. I do not know if IDF soldiers are battle hardened as all resumes to IAF.If they Israeli's think they can bomb Gaza to soften it up for invasion, they are painfully wrong. Hampering their armour support due to excessive debris would make for costly infantry on infantry battle, with house to house fighting too close for use of artillery or airstrikes. Israel may enter with their army, but they won't be able to raise another army again.
Gaza will be destroyed in full, but if Iran and the axis makes the correct move. Israel will be forever disabled until it decays and dies through population exodus.
People should note this is not the old war of 2021 or the ones previous that will end in 10 days or 1 month, this is a massive war, that will go on for a while and the risk of conflagration is at an all time high. Dangerous days ahead.
There goes US reputation.... Thank you babykiller Isisrael, you really did well, US citizen will be very happy.
not just now , it always have beenKhamenei: "Those who link Iran to the Hamas attack are mistaken"
A denial of involvement at the highest level (in addition to the Iranian Mission to the UN's total denial also).
Continuing to take credit for this and attribute it to Iran is quite pathetic now.

This is going to cost a lot of IDF lives imo, but the questions that raises is how Hamas could down these gunships which are just dreams for manpads, Israel makes intense use of Apache helicopters
If this happened to Iran when it was transporting large number of equipment over long distances to the North West or to Central Isfahan for drills, imagine what the haters would say. It never did though, but it happened to them twice now.Happened again today. Once is an accident, twice is incompetence.
Iran and the others didn't even mentioned Israel attacking the academy nor provided any evidence whatsoever. And the U.S. entered while ISIS was still successfully invading and taking territory, not waiting long time until ISIS was losing. Don't resort to that.They'd need to be much more evolved. "I"SIS were never able to manufacture this level of technology, nor is there a realistic source - other than the zionists or NATO - they could have procured it from.
The USA entered the conflict while the PMU were actively engaging and pushing back "I"SIS.
And still ignoring the fact that Iran will not think of such a major operation without tangible intelligence incriminating Tel Aviv for the recent attack at Homs or some similar casus belli.

They aren't necessarily required to do so for an analyst to be able to connect dots. Beyond the terrorist attack against the military academy, provocations and escalations by the zio-American empire against the Resistance axis have been plentiful over the past decade. Retaliation was due.
The USA regime entered when the Iranian-led Resistance was successfully moving to drive "I"SIS back. This is an established chronological fact. Iran and allies were the first to battle "I"SIS.
How? Hamas lost many of their own in the raids and now have to resort to killing the hostages if Israel keeps on bombing. Doubt Israel will even stop even if Hamas went through their threat to execute them. Just embolden Israel to do more bombings if videos of hostages getting executed, especially women and children.I wonder what’s going to happen next . I think the resistance factions are being more quiet than usual. Is that Because they are trying to goad the Israelis into a ground incursion of Gaza and then do an incursion into Israel from the north ?
Will be interesting to see that happens but I think enuf is enuf. I think there shud be a change in strategy. Either go through with strategic patience or go on the offensive to put an end to Zionists once and for all. Cuz In between all of this innocent defenceless Gazans are dying. So if u will attack, attack with the ultimate intention of total victory and not this tippy tappa bullocks anymore. Im tired of this.
Uh yeah sure.
Operation Inherent Resolve - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
On 15 June 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama ordered United States forces to be dispatched in response to the Northern Iraq offensive (June 2014) of the Islamic State (IS) as part of Operation Inherent Resolve. At the invitation of the Iraqi government, American troops went to assess Iraqi forces and the threat posed by ISIL.[111][third-party source needed]
In early August 2014, ISIL began its Northern Iraq offensive.[112] On 5 August, the United States started supplying the Kurdish Peshmerga forces with weapons.[113] On 8 August, the United States began airstrikes against ISIL positions in Iraq. Nine other countries also launched airstrikes against ISIL, more or less in concert with Kurdish and Iraqi government ground troops.[114][115] By December 2017, ISIL had no remaining territory in Iraq, following the 2017 Western Iraq campaign.[28]
In addition to direct military intervention, the American-led coalition provided extensive support to the Iraqi Security Forces via training, intelligence, and personnel. The total cost of coalition support to the ISF, excluding direct military operations, was officially announced at ~$3.5 billion by March 2019.[116] 189,000 Iraqi soldiers and police officers received training from coalition forces.[117]
Despite U.S. objections, the Iraqi parliament demanded U.S. troops to withdraw in January 2020 following the deaths of Iraqi Deputy chief of the Popular Mobilization Units and popular Iranian Quds leader Qasem Soleimeni in a U.S. airstrike.[118][119] It was also announced that both the U.K and Germany were cutting the size of troops in Iraq as well,[120] In addition to withdrawing some of its troops, the U.K. pledged to completely withdraw from Iraq if asked to do so by the Iraqi government and Germany "temporarily thinned out" its bases in Baghdad and Camp Taji.[121][122] Canada later joined in with the coalition withdrawal as well by transferring some of its troops stationed in Iraq to Kuwait.[121] French and Australian forces stationed in the country have also objected to a withdrawal as well.[123][124] The United Nations estimated in August 2020 that over 10,000 ISIL fighters remained in Iraq and Syria.[125]
The Islamic State – also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh – emerged from the remnants of al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), a local offshoot of al Qaeda founded by Abu Musab al Zarqawi in 2004. It faded into obscurity for several years after the surge of U.S. troops to Iraq in 2007. But it began to reemerge in 2011. Over the next few years, it took advantage of growing instability in Iraq and Syria to carry out attacks and bolster its ranks.Timeline: the Rise, Spread, and Fall of the Islamic State
At its height, the Islamic State - also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh - held about a third of Syria and 40 percent of Iraq. By December 2017 it had lost 95 percent of its territory, including its two biggest properties, Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, and the northern Syrian city of Raqqa...www.wilsoncenter.org
The group changed its name to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in 2013. ISIS launched an offensive on Mosul and Tikrit in June 2014. On June 29, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi announced the formation of a caliphate stretching from Aleppo in Syria to Diyala in Iraq, and renamed the group the Islamic State.
A U.S.-led coalition began airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq on August 7, 2014, and expanded the campaign to Syria the following month. On October 15, the United States named the campaign “Operation Inherent Resolve.” Over the next year, the United States conducted more than 8,000 airstrikes in Iraq and Syria. ISIS suffered key losses along Syria’s border with Turkey, and by the end of 2015, Iraqi forces had made progress in recapturing Ramadi. But in Syria, ISIS made gains near Aleppo, and still firmly held Raqqa and other strongholds.
In 2015, ISIS expanded into a network of affiliates in at least eight other countries. Its branches, supporters, and affiliates increasingly carried out attacks beyond the borders of its so-called caliphate. In October, ISIS’s Egypt affiliate bombed a Russian airplane, killing 224 people. On November 13, 130 people were killed and more than 300 injured in a series of coordinated attacks in Paris. And in June 2016, a gunman who pledged support to ISIS killed at least four dozen people at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
By December 2017, the ISIS caliphate had lost 95 percent of its territory, including its two biggest properties, Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, and the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, its nominal capital. The Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al Abadi declared victory over the Islamic State in Iraq on December 9, 2017. But ISIS was still inspiring and carrying out attacks all over the world, including New York City.
In 2018, the focus of the campaign against ISIS shifted to eastern Syria, where a U.S.-backed coalition of Syrian Kurds and Arabs known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) gradually captured key ISIS positions. The SDF briefly suspended its offensive in November 2018 after Turkish attacks on Kurdish positions diverted its attention. On December 14, the SDF captured the town of Hajin. Hajin’s fall reduced ISIS territory to a few villages along the Euphrates River near the Iraqi border.
On December 19, 2018, President Donald Trump declared that ISIS was defeated and signaled his intention to withdraw all 2,000 U.S. troops supporting the SDF in Syria. But the SDF continued its offensive and in February 2019 launched the final siege on ISIS forces in Baghouz, the last holdout. Baghouz fell on March 23, 2019, formally ending the caliphate’s claim to any territory. The mass surrender of ISIS fighters and their families illustrated the lingering challenge: how to deal with jihadists to forestall its transformation into an insurgency in Iraq and Syria. The Baghdadi era of ISIS ended on October 26, 2019, when the leader was killed in a U.S. raid in northern Syria. The following is a timeline of the rise, spread and fall of the Islamic State.
The coalition officially concluded its combat mission in Iraq in December 2021, but U.S. troops remain in Iraq to advise, train, and assist Iraqi security forces against the ongoing ISIL insurgency, including providing air support and military aid.[32][33]
