Hamas got to claim victory and Israel can't initiate hostilities so I doubt anything will change soon

Of course they do, it's Vice

Thank you I will check it out

Fuck Hamas.

Explosion in alleged military-drone factory injures nine

The blast, hitting around 4 AM at the Sepahan Nargostar Chemical Industries plant where explosive materials and allegedly military drones are produced.

Sky News host Alan Jones says the “bumbling” US President Joe Biden is in trouble after demonstrating a “hopeless understanding” of the conflict in the Middle East.

The first AI war’
Military Intelligence played a key role in the operation, identifying targets for attack in advance and finding more during the conflict itself. This was done in part by so-called HUMINT, human intelligence, notably Palestinians in Gaza collecting intelligence and passing it along to IDF case officers. But in this round of fighting, machine learning and other advanced computing capabilities played a key role.

Indeed for the first time in battle, much of the effort was assisted by the IDF’s artificial intelligence programs, making this the IDF’s “first AI war,” according to Military Intelligence.

“For the first time, artificial intelligence represented a key factor and force-multiplier in warfare against an enemy,” the senior intelligence official said.

These advanced capabilities were used to sift through the unimaginably massive amounts of data that Military Intelligence intercepts and collects from Gaza — telephone calls, text messages, surveillance camera footage, satellite images and a huge array of various sensors — in order to turn them into usable intelligence information: where will a specific Hamas commander be located at a specific time, for instance.

To give a sense of scale of the amount of data being collected, the IDF said it estimates that any given point in the Gaza Strip was photographed at least 10 times each day during the conflict.

“This is the first war of its kind for the IDF, an actualization of new techniques and technological developments representing… the combination of a wide variety of intelligence sources with artificial intelligence and a deep connection with [troops in] the field, representing a dramatic shift in the connection between intelligence and those on the front,” the official added.

This allowed Military Intelligence to not only kill several dozen top operatives from Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the second-most significant terror group in the Strip, but also to do so with a smaller number of civilian casualties.


In one case, when the IDF killed Islamic Jihad commander Hassan Abu Harbid in the densely populated Shati refugee camp, Military Intelligence determined that the terrorist leader was staying in a detached guest room at his friend’s house. Knowing that Abu Harbid was staying in a separate building, the Israeli Air Force was able to strike only that room, killing him and no other people.

During the fighting, 253 Palestinians were killed, including 66 minors. The IDF maintains that most of the people killed were members of terror groups and that some were hit not by Israeli strikes but by errant rockets from Gaza that failed to clear the border and landed within the Strip; at least eight civilians were reportedly killed in this way.

But the military also acknowledges that civilians were killed by Israeli fire, though it says considerable effort was put into minimizing civilian casualties whenever possible. This included directly contacting people in buildings that were due to be attacked and calling off strikes when too many civilians were seen in the area.

One strike with no casualties that still looms over the IDF’s campaign is the attack on the Jala tower in Gaza City, which was home to the Associated Press, Al-Jazeera and a number of other international media outlets. According to the Israeli military, it also housed a Hamas intelligence unit that operated a number of advanced electronic warfare devices from the building meant to interfere with the military’s GPS reception, potentially affecting the normal operation of IDF weapons.

Military Intelligence maintains that the seriousness of this issue justified the attack on the building, as well as the decision to bring down the entire structure, rather than just a surgical strike on the floors where Hamas was operating, as this might not have destroyed all of the electronic warfare capabilities in the tower.

Though the military had more success in targeting Hamas’s more advanced, multiple-barreled launchers, or multiple launch rocket systems, taking out roughly 40 percent of these batteries, the IDF acknowledges that it only destroyed roughly 10 percent of Hamas’s rocket arsenal in the current round of fighting. This still leaves thousands of rockets, including long-range ones, in Hamas’s possession, though the IDF’s precise estimates for the size of the terror group’s arsenal is classified.

Hamas also had a military parade earlier today

Based on previous posts, the IDF now knows where all this is stored.

Phffft, everyone knows that.  It's stored between the elementary school and the mosque across the street from the hospital in the garage under the nursery school

Yup, take a left at the daycare.

Palestinians call for "Day of Rage" on Friday

Negotiations become more ominous as the Israeli and Palestinian factions solidify their demands on the Jerusalem and prisoner files, which there are wide gaps. At the same time both sides leak reports of military preparations for resumed fighting to their military correspondents https://t.co/9J9Lkqswsz

Israel being investigated for war crimes by UN

Global Cancel Culture is coming for Israel as I predicted.

We are screwed.

Un is a waste of oxygen .

Something tells me that bibi doesn’t give a fuck what the UN says.

Its only canceled if I agree its canceled.

I don't agree.

Push them into the sea.

Lol you havent been paying very much attention then.

Thousands attend funeral of Hamas soldiers in Gaza Strip

Good, more work to do. Go IDF!

Naftali Bennett is signaling he has put together a coalition to be announced Sunday. If true, he would replace Netanyahu by the end of the coming week.

That could make the next round more interesting.

As Prime Minister?

Yep.

Yes

Fascinating. If Naftali Bennett manages to pull it off, what does that signal for Gaza? A resumption of hostilities? More of the same stalemate till next time? Giving in to Palestinian demands? I know nothing of Israeli internal politics.

Hard to say. Bennett is not a dove by any stretch of the imagination though.

BREYKIN: Everybody and their mother knew the “press building” was a cover for Hamas

(Breitbart link above)

I just saw a "breaking news" headline that Bibi was out. I couldn't read the article because I would have needed to subscribe. The reaction emojis were positive but it seemed to be from a liberal media source.

What does it all mean? Are the Israelites becoming woke like the western world? Or the opposite?

The dude who could be PM looks like a hardliner.  One state, Israel only.  Liked Trump.  Sick of the cycle.  Etc..

Always wondered why the Israeli military wore Chef hats.






   The hat—called a mitznefet in Hebrew—attaches to a regular combat helmet and obscures its rigid, round shape. As the mitznefet
   flops about, it takes on an irregular form that's harder to recognize in a shadow or out of the corner of your eye. The hat also protects against the sun and the moon, which might reflect off the surface of the helmet. A standard mitznefet consists of reversible mesh fabric, with a greenish woodland camouflage print on one side and a brown desert print on the other...

   What does the word mitznefet mean? One common translation is "clown hat," but the term has some more dignified connotations. The biblical Book of Exodus uses *mitznefet *to describe the ancient headgear of the Jewish high priests. As such, the word has been translated as "mitre" or "headdress." But some biblical scholars think *mitznefet *comes from the root "to wrap," and say that a better translation would be "turban."

The above was written by Caroline Glick, who was a candidate in Bennett’s party a couple of years ago. Another journalist on Twitter said conservative voters in Israel are enraged at Bennett right now.

Read into the guy who is likely to be PM.. That doesnt read like an admin that pro Biden.

Fraud of the century?  Yeah, get in line, pal.  We have that covered here.

I like this part of the article:

a former White House national security official under Obama said the building was long known as a Hamas operational center and that people who worked there knew that.

Fuck the UN

Fuck the UN

Great info. Thanks

I've read a couple other that followed this vein. Bennett saw an opportunity to grab power and it doesn't seem to matter to him who he allies with to get it.
