Hamas launches war on Israel
Netanjahu has declared a state of war.
Reservists are being called up in huge numbers, observers count that as a sign of that they have the situatin not under control. Hamas started with a barrage of "hundres of rockets". Hamas commandos have attacked into Israel on the ground, killed many civilians in the streets on sight, and hijacked "a huge number". The Israeli air force is in full combat engagement. It seems the Israelis this time got caught on the wrong foot. I guess they will regain control, but I also think this is a new war, not just an "operation".

Observers in Israel describe the way Hamas strikes and tactics it uses as right the worst case scenario the army always had feared and warned of. The situation gets compared to the debakle of Jom Kippur 1973. Sounds all pretty serious. And the hostages - many of them already. Wasn't there this Israeli soldier who was held hostage for 5 years and then got freed - for over 1000 terrorists in Israeli prisons?

What I'm wondering about is-What can we expect from Iran, Syria and Lebanon(Hizbollah)?
Hopefully they stay calm. Markus

2200 rockets fired so far, says IDF speaker. At least 40 dead, 780 wounded. A "huge number" (speaker) of hostages taken.
Sooner or later it will be Israel'S move. It will be anything but shy.

Analysis of "why now?" To the author it is no surprise.

Putin’s Gaza Front
Great article by James Sherr, thought it deserved its own thread so it wouldn’t get lost in the spam.
COMMENTARY OCTOBER 30, 2023 Putin’s Gaza front https://icds.ee/en/putins-gaza-front/ Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu take part in a wreath laying ceremony in Moscow on May 9, 2018. In 2011, Putin went so far as to describe Israel as a practically a Russian-speaking country’, and only seven years ago, he called it an ‘unconditional ally against international terrorism’. Yet Putin offered no condolences to Netanyahu after Hamas’s attack. Quote:

You're too late; I already referenced "Putins war by distraction" in the Hamas attacks Israel thread. That was on 10/8; 18 days before Jame Sherr's editorial was published (10/26)!

BREAKING:
Dozens of people are reported killed after a blast at the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. The Hamas-run health ministry and a hospital director say at least 50 people were killed. The health ministry blames Israeli air strikes - the Israeli military are yet comment. The camp is in northern Gaza - an area where Israel has told people to leave for their safety. ================================================== ======== Israel's military has confirmed that Israeli fighter jets carried out the attack on the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza. The IDF says the strike killed a senior Hamas commander and caused the collapse of Hamas's underground infrastructure.
