Little is being written about Israel and Gaza in the US press these days. So I thought I’d inform you of what amounts to a major success for Israel…and, quite possibly, a reason that hamas suddenly at least seems more amenable to a ceasefire agreement Israel can live with.
From Emanuel Fabian’s article for The Times Of Israel:
Israeli troops operating in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood have demolished six Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad tunnels amid the latest operation there, launched less than two weeks ago, according to the IDF.
At least three more tunnels have been located and are in the process of being mapped out and demolished.
One of the destroyed tunnels is considered by the IDF to be Islamic Jihad’s “flagship” tunnel in Gaza City. The recently discovered 2.5-kilometer (1.5-mile) tunnel was used by the terror group for command and control, according to military assessments. Troops found laptops, weaponry, and intelligence material inside, indicating it was still being used by the terror group recently.
Other tunnels found by the 98th Division in Shejaiya included a significant Hamas tunnel within the heart of the neighborhood and several attack tunnels that were dug toward Israel, at least two of which reached close to Israel’s border barrier — just across from Nahal Oz — according to the IDF. Those tunnels did not cross into Israel, and were not believed to have been used by terrorists on October 7.
In all, at least six kilometers’ worth of tunnels have so far been demolished in Shejaiya.
Israel not only takes out major military tunnels, but gets hold of computer equipment that probably provides an enormous amount of invaluable, current intelligence?
GOOD!
Anything that damages hamas – and you can be assured this does just that – is welcome news.
But, just to be fair, I suggest that some of the “Free, free Palestine” crowd in the USA should consider taking time out from their indoctrination college experience and go over there to help reinstall those computers.
If so, I suggest they bring along some LGBTQ material to distribute. And the young women who seem to be so prominent in these protests should be sure to wear the same clothes they wear here.
That certainly will endear them to hamas. I mean, After all, hamas provides everyone a free, free Palestine, right?
Uh………right?
