LordAdam16:


When they're killed has no bearing on who replaces them or how they're replaced.

-Lord

You know I'm not referring to when. The entire chain of command is dead that's the problem. Take in the case of Hamas leaders death Yaya sinwar wasn't chosen the next day and he wasn't the only one considered.

A while back, I watched a documentary on Hamas and israel in which a former mossad head praised Hamas' counter-intelligence efforts against israel

The mossad head said that they used to have so much success in the past against Hamas, but now they faced difficulties due to Hamas upping its game. This shows that Hamas is well versed at countering israel's spying against it, evidenced by its regular dismantling of israeli spy networks, through identifying and execution of collaborators

That's probably why they were successful with the October 7 attacks and they've successfully outsmarted israel on this captives issue. It also explains why israle's intelligence on Hamas' number, weapons stockpiles, tunnel networks etc. are hazy. I refer to Hamas along with all the other armed factions in Gaza

Now to compare this with Iran and Hezbullah, their counter-intelligence against israel seems weak. This is understandable, because the focus of their intelligence efforts have been against Sunni countries in the region and America. This is evidenced by the primary conflicts they've busied themselves with recently, such as, Yemen, Syria, Iraq etc

This has made them open to israel's infiltration which apparently has happened and has made them exposed to hits by the israelis

Iran has started cleaning house it seems and they need to recenter their focus back to israel if they want to be effective on that front. They can gain from Hamas' experience, counter-intelligence tactics that'll help them

The reality is that unless israel's foes put aside their differences and work together for their mutual interests, America will continue to divide them and play them against each other all for israel's gain


As a sidenote:

Jubilating over the killings of leaders of quasi-military groups like Hamas and Hezbullah is stupid and that's because, groups like them are deliberately setup to withstand and adapt to rapid changes in leadership

The only time the death of any leader will be a big blow is if that leader is extra-ordinarily competent, otherwise, it'll simply be like pinball

This is true of Hamas which has had so many of its leaders killed and yet has grown ever stronger overtime

The only real success is the severe degradation of such groups, which usually only happens with active collaboration of locals and this necessitates the erosion of the popularity of such groups

As for invading Lebanon, time will tell

As for defeating Hamas, how have they done so? Have they degraded Hamas' fighting capabilities? If so, to what extent? Have they significantly killed off their fighters? If so, what's the estimated number? Have they completely secured any part of Gaza i.e. completely taken it over? Have they destroyed the tunnels? Have they recovered the captives? I could go on and on about this.

FYI, israel had very clear aims when going into Gaza. as of today, they've not announced the achievement of any of those goals

You seem to be using the launching of rockets as proof of Hamas' defeat. The reality is that since the beginning of the war, Hamas' and the other factions' volley of rockets significantly reduced and they shifted focus to guerrilla warfare, i.e. ground combat and maneuvers. What if i told you that just recently i saw a video of Hamas and Islamic Jihad firing rockets from Gaza into israel but it went underreported because the focus was on Hezbullah and Lebanon

Let me advice you, stop being desperate about Hamas' defeat, at least wait till israel officially says so and it's verified before you insist on it. I mentioned verified because the israelis have claimed many things before which turned out bogus, like their claim of being in control of Northern Gaza, only for it to be debunked to their utter humiliation

israle is an occupying power according to International Law and according to said International Law, the occupier is never the victim

Well Israel holds the Philadelphi corridors and and many others has destroyed a large network of tunnles

Many of you are asking for an update on Gaza.

Two operational divisions are still present in the area. Dozens of terrorists are being eliminated daily. Hamas is no longer functioning as a military organization; they have now devolved into guerrilla groups with hardly any rockets left, and most of their command and control capabilities are gone.

Yehiya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, has been out of contact for many weeks, leading to speculation that he is either injured or dead.

We are continuing to search for more terrorists to eliminate and abductees to rescue.

If you’re wondering why Hamas has run out of supplies, it’s because we have taken control of their primary supply route—the Rafah area, including both the above-ground crossing and the tunnels beneath the Philadelphi Corridor.

Rafah was the key, which is why there was immense international pressure on us not to enter the area.

That's from a prominent Jew. The IDF spokes man said the same thing also


The UN itself describe October 7th a terrorist attack because the part of Israel Hamas attacked isn't occupied territories and is within the part of Israel that was partition for Israel. So no Hamas is the aggressor.

What does the fact that Hamas had multiple contenders to replace Haniyeh tell you?
Even after 10 months of intense warfare.

The leadership will be replaced.
The missile barrage into Israel has increased not reduced.

Who's the prominent jew? And the idf spokesperson?

The same hagari that has been caught in lies before?

Look, let's wait till israel declares victory and it's beyond doubt, before we affirm any such claims

The siege placed upon Gaza by israel, definitively means Gaza is occupied by israel under International Law. The attack emanated from an occupied territory, by an occupied people, against their occupier

I saw an interview with a high ranking Hamas representative recently and he said they're not in a hurry for a ceasefire and they'll not budge from their positions or their conditions for a ceasefire.....this doesn't sound like a defeated group or one on the verge of defeat

[b]TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Secretary General of Hezbollah Seyed Hassan Nasrallah and the head of the movement’s Executive Council Seyed Hashem Safieddine are unharmed and in full health, informed sources told Tasnim.
The sources told Tasnim’s correspondent in Lebanon that none of the senior leaders of the Lebanese resistance movement have been martyred in the brutal terrorist operation launched by the Zionist regime on Friday evening.

The Zionists’ operation tonight has ended in failure, they confirmed.

This comes after rumors circulating on social media suggested that Nasrallah and Safieddine were targeted during the Israeli regime’s large aerial assault on the Dahiya neighborhood of southern Beirut on Friday.

Six buildings were razed to the ground as a result of the Israeli aggression on the southern suburb of Beirut.

The Israeli army radio said that F-35 aircraft carried out the aggression using bunker-buster bombs.

Israeli media reports said the regime had informed the United States of the attack shortly before[/b]

If he were fighting Turkey or Pakistan; we will have a scoreboard up.

The 1948 Arab war was fought with who??
The sucez canal crisis was fought with who??
The six days war was fought with who?
The yom kippur war was fought with who?
The war of attrition 1967 was fought with who?
I982 Lebanon war was fought with who??

So sad Seeing you transition from being a neutral contributor to full time terrorist sympathizer.

LordAdam16:


Russia should treat with urgency the transfer of sophisticated anti-ship missiles to the Houthis.

The Houthis should not try to sink a USN warship though.
Only score successful hits that will end deployment early.

-Lord

The funny thing here is no others news articles has pointed/show the USN big horn damage to Houthis attacks. The greatest propagandas against the US itself is the US press, and there's no incidence that the US try to cover up that the press wouldn't unveil in time.
Maybe they've not unwind this yet but it's hilarious how a Nigeria blogger WriterNG could get the news first as a Houthis attack.

That said, the Russian supply of advanced ASM to the Houthis will be a desperation taken too far. Even if it's for deterrence.
Houthis has proven not to be a reliable partner that can be cajole on a common objectives, rather they'll choose to do what they want regardless of its impact.
Houthis has been known to attacking civilian vessels without discrimination, in fact all successful attack has been against civilian merchandise, what happens to Russian vessels?
It's one thing to have the weapons it's another to have an advance targeting system with midphase guidance. Would the Russian also help in setting an entire relay infrastructure?
Can the Houthis successfully discriminate vessels hundreds of miles away before engaging or just shoot blind into the horizon hoping to lock-in whatever is out there?

As for your previous comment, from netanyahu's UN speech, there's clearly someway to go

If we're to take him by his word, he'll keep on pushing the needle to the tipping point, but you should realise one thing, netanyahu banks on the US coming to their aid in an expanded war

In the case of a full war with Hezbullah, Iran will assist against israel. Note, they won't be directly involved though

israel can't sustain two fronts against Gaza and Lebanon on its own. I'm not talking airstrikes, i mean full invasions and the US has threatened, by deploying aircraft carriers as a deterrence, which has emboldened israel

As for Iran, they're trying to maintain a power balance in its competition with the sunni bloc. In a direct war with israel, they'll be weakened, which will be to the advantage of its rivals. Moreover, there's the US(west) factor they have to consider...but since Hezbullah is part of what gives Iran it's regional muscle, it will definitely assist incase of a war with israel

For all my criticisms of israel, the fact is they're one of the most technologically advanced armies on earth and one of the most powerful. They have very destructive weapons and mossad is an effective spy agency, but their ground combat capabilities aren't anything special

It isn't black and white, so when i make a point, you should know i do so within its context

It's you who actually deserve the title of the "smart" one. Not the others around here pretending to be what they can't be.

Firstly Gaza wasn't under a siege until November of last year that's when the siege of Gaza began. The Gaza strip was under a blockade a blockade is not an occupation. The blockade was more like a security check point to check what and who enters Gaza and you forget about 10k Palestinians cross from Gaza to work in Israel. So your point of a siege is dead on arrival
But did the hamas combatants killed Jews on occupied lands abi in Jewish lands thats the question. And did they kill combatants or civillian. The UN calls it a terror attack .

Its tells me that Hezbollah will also have more candidates to replace nasrallah so it will take time because each person will want to lead and they won't just point one of them and say you lead. And they will have to do that for their entire leadership almost at the same time.

You talk of the war in Gaza as if Isreal is bugged down like Russia in Ukraine.
There's no meaningful resistance in Gaza, any clog on the Gaza offensive is because of the consideration for civilian casualties and not hamas militant. True they'll be schemish and sneaks attack here and there but that's all there is.
No matter how superiorly numerical you are, in personnel and equipment, ground offensive also comes with its own challenges. This I believe Isreal will encounter in Lebanon, the deeper they thrust the more challenging it becomes.
The greatest challenge will be from within, from the grandeurs politics at play, it's internal military miring and with a little Hezbolla resistance.
Wars are not won on the battlefield... Sun Tzu

Consideration of civilian casualties? Really? I don't even think that deserves an answer honestly

The israelis aren't bogged down, i agree because they can withdraw at anytime and end this thing, but they've refused all suggestions of it. They've put themselves in a hole currently by setting for themselves unachievable goals like "destroying Hamas" and "militarily rescuing all captives".


It must be pointed out though, that those responsible for prolonging the war are netanyahu and the right wing coalition members, the military representatives together with gantz have expressed an opennesss to negotiating an end to the war and returning the captives

It's left to be seen the extent to which the current israeli government coalition of doomsdayists will be allowed to overstretch its hands, to the endangerment of the region and their people
