“The accuracy, the quality of execution, and the perfect coordination
with the forces are very impressive,” Gallant continued. “We are
operating with force in the Khan Yunis area, and it will expand. The
mushroom clouds from the tanks, artillery, and Air Force planes will
continue to cover the skies of Gaza until we achieve our goals,
primarily the dismantling of Hamas and the return of the hostages
to their homes.”

—————————————–
the war seems far from over no matter what the
idf declares about its achievements
considering that only 10,000 gazan jihadis have
been killed by the idf, 1,000 in negev and 9,000
in gaza, that still puts 20,000 regulars to account
for
true many are captured and injured and there are
those that are buried in the rubble and collapsed
tunnels … but only 10k dead in a hundred days will
mean at that rate of another 200 days of battling
fighting on the jihadis home ground gives a 6x fac-
tor of advantage for them … meaning the 30k of
regulars equated to 30k x 6 = 180k
now the 20k remaining equate to 120k … so the
war must continue to degrade the jihadi war mach-
ine to the point that there is much less chance of
repeats of the 07oct2023 atrocities
