Aftermath of Israeli airstrikes in parts of Gaza. Looks pretty indiscriminate
Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and other Related Conflicts in the Middle East (read the rules in the first post)
- Thread starter phrozenflame
- Start date
Israel enlarged ground ops in Gaza. They already cut all the telecommunications in Gaza.
Maybe Wang Yi and Sullivan are watching live streams at the Blair House.

— / NEW: USAF KC-135 aerial refueling planes have arrived in the Middle East & their identification markings have been removed
@Middle_East_Spectator
NOTE: For those who do not know, Israel has been training with the U.S. Air Force on mid-air refueling for years
The only reason these planes are in Israel right now, is to support a possible Israeli strike on Iran, as most IAF jets do not have the range to reach Iran without refueling.

Israel or the US are not going to preemptively strike iran or lebanon. There is no actual reason to act in advance and cause widespread condemnation from the whole international community if they would be well able to counter an attack and fight in even power and even numbers. NATO is not the whole world and they do not need to provoke more accusations of hypocrisy.
That assumes NATO, the US and Israel are rational actors that care about being branded hyprocrites at this point and not a group of white supremacists desperate to hold on to their hegemony by any means.

Tankers don’t mean strike on Iran, they can just be supporting the Israeli strikes on Gaza by extending the time on station for Israeli jets.
White House: Israel owes no one any justification, and will have no red lines

Israeli Prime-Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman: We rejects calls for ceasefire, We, as the State of Israel, will no longer live with this reality, the war is not being fought to 'deter Hamas', but instead 'we have decided that Hamas must be gone'.
----------------------------------
The Israelis say this is an expanded raid, not the anticipated large scale ground operation. We’re being patient with our reporting. It’s a very fluid and active front.
-----------------------------------
Opinion from @vysokygovorit
"Israel is launching powerful strikes on the Gaza Strip, involving aircraft, artillery, and tanks. While there is a significant amount of smoke and fire, it is unlikely to cause substantial damage to Hamas' military infrastructure. In my opinion, the much-anticipated ground operation threatened by Israeli politicians and military officials may not materialize.
In essence, the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has reached a military impasse. Israel may not resolve the issue with Hamas without a ground operation, and Hamas, through its rocket attacks, cannot inflict significant damage on Israel.
Furthermore, a ground operation, if properly planned and executed, would allow Hamas to potentially inflict substantial damage on the Israeli Defense Forces. In essence, drawing the IDF into urban warfare is what Palestinian insurgents may need."

It's slowly spreading to other regions... I guess Wang Yi's meeting is more important than ever. If the Israel/US/UK is crazy enough to go for Iran, it would be in China and Russia best interest to prevent it.

And, that assumption would be erroneous!
As I’ve posted, previously; Carte Blanche!
