It has only been six months of war, but progress is being made by the Israelis at great expense of human suffering, death and of course economic sacrifices. But there are approximately 10%, 220,000, of the Gazans that are either militia members or actively participate in the armed holy war against Israel and the goal of its destruction. So, the Israelis were shocked by how efficiently the Gazans killed, injured and kidnapped people in just under 24 hours. The Gazans on that day were able to kill one Israeli ever 84 seconds. This has awaken the Israelis and now they seem pretty determine to reduce the war capacity of the Gazans. But it takes a lot of time to incapacitate 220,000 Gazans, by their capture, their injuries, their deaths, and simply giving up on the holy war cause and returning to home life. Now we expect easily another six months to a year of combat. May all those that die, Gazans and Israelis, RIP.
Many more Israelis will be injured and die in their battle to reduce the Gazan war machine.
