Playing PUBG against Hamas in the ruins of Gaza doesn’t exactly play to IDF’s strength… it might be emotionally satisfying but is not the best tactical course of action. They have already dry cut off any water/food supply and can wait it out.

The world is silent because Israeli actions are supported by the U.S. This time Israel will completely take over Gaza, shut off water and food (is that even legal?), take all the land and eventually push the Palestinians into a small area of settlement. That’s the final solution.
HAMAS knows an IDF invasion is coming, that is why HAMAS taking a very large number of hostages, spreading them out in very part of Gaza in every valuable locations that IDF want to bomb.
There is an old Chinese saying "光脚的不怕穿鞋的" roughly translated as "one without hope has nothing to fear". That is where Palestinians are, it is the root cause of the endless conflict that Israeli ruling class refuses to face, except perhaps Yitzhak Rabin.
No country to help the civilians of Gaza and stop Israel for the indiscriminate bombing of innocent people?
Only against Russia do they impose sanctions and help Ukrainian terrorists?
Don't Palestinians get any help to defend themselves?
This is why the USA is still king of the world and Israel wins and humiliate Arabs. In the 60s and 70s Arabs still fought. Today they lost even the courage.
This war must end quickly, if there is no help for Gaza, and it will not divert the West's focus from Ukraine, then Russia will not benefit from it.

I'm surprised at how well Hamas is doing against the Israelis. A bit of shock as I expected the Israelis to be on top of everything as they're known to be very good in HUMINT. But, we all know that there is no such thing as 100% security. Ignoring the conspiracy theories (i.e. Netanyahu's political scheming), someone over in the intel / security services dropped the ball.
IF Russia is behind this, then it would be the best way to retaliate against the US. But, I'm not sure how they can keep this sustained covertly. Unless the Russians are going to be blatant about their support; taking a page out of NATO's playbook. This will forever shut up Western leaders claims of Russia running out of munitions. All Western politicians will be forced to prove that they've earned their bri...err...campaign donations. And with the Hezzies itching for a rematch, Iran (and Syria) gets to kick Israel in the gonads. The next question is what will Turkey do, will they start attacking the Kurds with greater frequency? If they do, the Syrians will not join in on the festivities.
But, I share the same sentiments as solarz. The planners must know this is a suicide mission. There's no going back to the status quo as both sides no longer accepts it. Keeping hostages is at best a temporary measure to give IDF pause in missile strikes and forces Netanyahu to commit ground troops. IF Israel is truly committed to what they've publicly stated, then we'll see a Dresden-like action. The World will not do anything about it but issue out some canned statement. In any case, I understand the Palestinian sentiments. They would rather die fighting than die with a whimper. When one lose everything, one lose it.
Unlikely. Egypt needs the transit fees and I doubt China would ever allow it. But, if Egypt ever did that, it'll give China more ammunition in promoting their inland trade routes.

Israel has started shelling Lebanese territory on the border..
They'll make it legal. And Israel gets the offshore drilling rights to the gas/oil reserves as well.
I'm seeing reports on X that Hezbollah has already lost 3 troops so far. Israel threatening to bomb Damascus (?!) if Hez do fully engage.
