How about days. IDAF has already started pounding targets into Gaza, reservists have been activated and hundreds and thousands of bodies from the Israel side will be thrown at this conflict. The appetite is high on the Israeli side to take casualties compared to the Europeans or the Americans.
This has to be the most stupidest thing Hamas has done, Not sure what their leadership was thinking because their past records indicate pragmatism. Civilian Israeli women being dragged on social media and this being video taped, these idiots don't realize they have unleashed a monster. Israel has so far over the decades used kids glove when it comes to Gaza. Israel was very much pivoting towards left, but this has united Israel as one to seek revenge. To save face, i see Bibi marching into Gaza and eliminating Hamas.
Enter the conflict and do what? Israel is one of the most sophisticated military machine in the World. They can put more soldiers in the battlefield compared to Hamas/Hezbollah combined.
