Israel is playing what they say LONG HAUL
they first looked the other way when they had a hint that HAMAS was planning a big attack in 1st or 2nd week of oct 2023 ... but they kept quite and to put it polietly sacrifced some 250 women and children on its religious holiday so that it can do what it was waiting to do for a long long time which it did eventually and wiped outalmost all traces of ressitence in west bank , Gaza and lebnon to golan hights and still not showing any sighns of slowing down
on the other hand Iran not just lost all its proxies in Gaza , West Bank , Lebnon but in Syria & Jordan and Iran itself while it had no power to retaliate since Russia & NATO was preoccupied in Ukraine
now what since Egypt and Turkiye are in biggest Financial crisis so is Jordan while Bashar Govt has fell in Syria and there is a power vaccum while Iran is behaving like a headless chicken while rich arab nations are playing a waiting game
in short kuch nahi honne lagga
West bank scene is completely different from Gaza, it is very much a shared space, but apartheid style.. certain areas (expanding ever more) are for Israelis exclusively, other ones are Palestinian roads.. checkpoints and permits, armed guards, APCs always ready if a Palestinian wants to go there.
Then there's the actual land there which makes it holy for all 3 Abrahamic ones, temple mound, al aqsa, purani churchein bhi hain.
Gazans, some used to work labour in Israel, given a pass, and to traverse to west bank, very highly regulated hai sara, but inside Gaza, after I think the 2005? something occupation, they rolled out and blocked it off.. gazans free to do what they want inside.
They made tunnels, IEDs and figured some jugaad for making crude rockets with Iranian help.. (katushya (old soviet projectile?) .. fajr and some others)
but what you're saying about it being ALLOWED TO HAPPEN, Oct 7th concert raid and rampage in nearby areas... is probably true.
Ab carte blanche sa mil jayega, they were thinking.
but they've gone a little over the top.. full ww2 pe rewind kar dia war ka game, Grozy etc to kuch bhi nahi hai iske saamne.
Dresden, Tokyo firebombing waala hisaab, tabahi !
against a mostly defenseless bunch when attacked by air..
seriously fcuked up situation.. holy land holy na raha, poora god forsaken ho gya hai..
