Most of Ukraine is flat so outside cities there cannot be replication of Hamas's conditions. Gaza strip is a huge city of multi millions. It would only apply for Kiev and Kharkov. Assuming of course Ukrainians are as radicalized and have specialized tunnel teams. Also note that Gaza is average age 18. Ukrainians average 40. Even Kiev will have less fighting age male resisting than Gaza.

I dont think its about radicalisation. Its just that theyve lived their entire lives under occupation and daily planned humiliation by Israel. 100% of Gazans want freedom from occupation and aparthied, just like any other normal human would. Thats not the case with Russia. Alot of Ukrainians are Russian speaking and theyve been getting fkd over since 2014 thats why Russia was able to integrate most of the areas with ease. Russia isnt running around with "We are superior race because our god said so" philosophy.

The only thing common here is the Nazi shit being practiced by Azov and Israelis.

Any further word on US strikes on Houthi's? I read on Twitter earlier that some sort of join strike would be announced, but I wasn't sure if it was a reliable source? Just wondering if anyone has anything credible?

I tried to consult here and it seems that nothing has been released yet, it could probably take a few more hours or days.

Updated map of warships operating in the Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, Gulf of Aden, Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea on 31 December.

This one is a more complete view of the region, although it is from December 29th, which still seems up to date:

The US Navy with a presence deployed through:
Eisenhower: 8 squadrons (4 of Super Hornets, 1 of Growlers, 1 of E-2C/E-2D and 2 of helicopters, these divided between the Eisenhower and other ships and a detachment of 2 C-2A cargo)
6 escorts: 5 DDG and 1 CG

Only US Navy ships containing 5 DDG and 1 CG must contain up to 300 Tomahawks.

From what we know it was previously sent:
1 squadron of F-15Es (494th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron based in Lakenheath in the United Kingdom to Al-Azraq air base in Jordan) with daily dispatch being 3 F-15Es making transfers with REVO support from KC-135T.
1 F-16 squadron (119th Fighter Squadron)
1 A-10 squadron(354th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron)

In addition to all the equipment that was already in the CENTCOM AOR, as well as in Jordan, maintaining a base military(air???), Al Udeid Air Base(Qatar: 8 thousand personnel), NSA Bahrain/port Khalifa bin Salman of Bahrain(Bahrain: 9 thousand personnel), Camp Arifjan/Ali al-Salem Air Base(Kuwait: +10 thousand personnel), Al Dhafra Air Base/Portos(UAE: 3.5 thousand personnel), İncirlik Air Base(Turkey: 1 thousand personnel) and Oman.

According to several U.S. Officials, the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) and the remaining Ships with Carrier Strike Group 12 (CSG-12) including the Ticonderoga-Class Cruiser, USS Normandy (CG-60) as well as several Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyers, USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51), USS Bulkeley (DDG-84), USS Ramage (DDG-61), USS McFaul (DDG-74), and USS Thomas Hudner (DDG-116) will reportedly be Departing from the Eastern Mediterranean sometime in the coming days in order to Return to their Homeports in Norfolk, Virginia; Mayport, Florida; and Rota, Spain after being Deployed for over 243 Days, with a number of the Ships already having Transited out of the Mediterranean heading towards the United States; it is Unknown if another Aircraft Carrier will be Deployed to Replace the Ford in the Eastern Mediterranean, although it is likely considering the Escalation of Hostilities in the Middle East which will likely continue into 2024.

A collection of videos of Hamas attacking Merkavas:

There was one attack recently that is not in the video where the Hamas fighter took advantage of the distraction of a Merkava to place a bomb in the tank's wake, the tank had NO infantry support whatsoever.

Just to remember, Hamas can still exploit more casualties, simply from these events, setting up an ambush, as Hamas knows that the IDF will come to rescue the armored vehicle and its crew. These are mistakes that are destroying the IDF's reputation.

Tbh they only have high reputation among middle eastern armies. And no matter how incompetent they are relative to the standards of 1st, 2nd and even 3rd tier powers, they're not going below the impossibly low bar set by the other middle eastern nations.

Unless they fully lose to Hamas and are expelled from Gaza... Or if Hezbollah severely rolls them...

I mean, Hezbollah already rolled them once, and they had far less resources then than they do now. I assume this is one of the reasons why Israel keeps begging the US to jump directly into the war.

On the other hand, it seems likely the reason why the IDF managed to hold its own in the early years of its existence had to do with having lots of experienced WW2 veterans while the current IDF characterization as a tiktok and thirst traps army doesn't seem that far fetched.

Then there is the fact that Israeli soldiers seem more preoccupied with making some really heinous videos on social media rather than focus on fighting.
