JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli warplanes hammered the Gaza Strip neighborhood by neighborhood on Tuesday, reducing buildings to rubble and sending people scrambling to find safety in the tiny, sealed-off territory as Israel vowed a retaliation for Hamas’ surprise weekend attack that would “reverberate ... for generations.”
Aid organizations pleaded for the creation of humanitarian corridors to get aid into Gaza, warning that hospitals overwhelmed with wounded were running out of supplies. Israel has stopped all access of food, fuel and medicines into Gaza, and the sole remaining access from Egypt shut down Tuesday after airstrikes hit near the border crossing.
The war began after Hamas militants stormed into Israel on Saturday, bringing gunbattles to its streets for the first time in decades. At least 1,600 lives have already been claimed on both sides, and perhaps hundreds more. Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza hold more than 150 soldiers and civilians hostage, according to Israel.
The conflict is only expected to escalate. Israel expanded the mobilization of reservists to 360,000 on Tuesday, according to the country’s media. After days of fighting, Israel’s military said Tuesday morning that it had regained effective control over areas Hamas attacked in its south, and of the Gaza border.
A looming question is whether Israel will launch a ground offensive into Gaza — a 40 kilometer-long (25 mile-long) strip of land wedged among Israel, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea that is home to 2.3 million people and has been governed by Hamas since 2007.

Or a hostage..........................
Boring. Nothing’s happening. No smoke plumes or nothin’. 😏
Gee that's too bad.
... and they're probably considered "useful idiots" by the IRAN regime.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving people.
Hamas must be destroyed.
“There is so much money in those countries, and if they cared to they could fund Palestinian development, instead of anti-Israel terrorism in the name of Palestinians. With 25 miles of Mediterranean coastline, a stable non-violent government, and proper development, tourism to Gaza could generate enough income to incredibly increase the standard of living for those Palestinians living there. Egypt could also offer them an additional parcel of land in the Sinai for economic development - or even farming.
The hatred of Israel and Jews is the biggest obstacle to Palestinian prosperity.”
Good idea and points.
One Day In September. Trailer.

For those too young to remember 1972, documentary with footage from Munich Olympics.
Eventually there will have to be.
>>Practical question: Say, you have a guy, 32 y/o, unarmed, no Hamas tattoo or anything like that. Doesn’t match any video evidence. How do you know if he is Hamas?
Easy. Shoot him anyway, God will know his own. Hamas is just the proxy by which the Palis make war on Israel; they are ALL guilty.
Humanitarian? Like the humanitarian conduct of murdering and mutilating children?!
Hamas is getting the Hamas Treatment. Unfortunately, it is well deserved.
There’s no war in Ukraine. It’s fake just like that moon landing. All AI-generated in order to build the largest money-laundering scheme in the history of the world. Biden, Zelensky and Putin are dividing the money evenly.
Agree. But I’m sure Israel has a database of Hamas affiliates.
And they have ID’s.
Yes, they can identify them.
I’m sure the Israeli’s also have facial recognition data.
Not perfect, but is likely to work in most instances.
Interrogators can also pick up on speech and tone. Like accents.
Yep
“It’s not sealed off. They can swim away.”
Don’t give Brandon any ideas! He’ll have American aircraft carriers waiting to pick them up and bring them HERE!
*SHUDDER*
No the poster is only an authority on keyboard warfare
It’s only a war crime if you lose.
Reduce every standing structure to rubble and every living thing to ash...
