    It took them years to prepare that operation. It was against Hezbollah, not Hamas, because they saw them as the bigger threat.

    The war in Gazah is barbaric, but the sensible immediate alternative would have been a very targeted operation to find and rescue the hostages, not something like this.

      The idf keep killing their hostages in what seem like very purposeful attempts to do so.

      And it required Hezbollah to have no concept of logistic security. Maybe Hamas is not as amateurish as Hezbollah in that regard.

      Compared to dumping white phosphorus over hospitals and refugee camps, killing 2 (?) children during an attack that targeted hundreds/thousands is many orders of magnitude more precise. I hate dead innocents as much as anyone, but you gotta admit the pagers were effective and included way less collateral damage than the methods Isreal has employed in recent history.

      The point of the post isn’t to praise the pagers attack. It’s to point out that Isreal is capable of causing less collateral damage in Gaza but chooses not to.

      It’s an Obama type technique. Sure, you might blow up a few innocents, but the rate of eliminated enemies vs killed innocents is better than in traditional warfare, so a numbers guy would always go for that one.

    Crazy, it’s almost like plans improved with time. That’s never been the case ever in history.

    Mossad: “Making 40,000 pagers full of C4 and then convincing everyone in Gaza that they’re hip in 2024 is not profitable! What are we, Apple?”

    Also Mossad: “But what about Lebanon?”

    But how would they arbitrarily punish everyone without carpet bombing? It’s not like everyone has a pager.

    Room had too be made. Same as what’s happening in the West Bank right now. The Lebenon isn’t an expansion target.

    None of this should be a surprise to anyone.
