Welp, the cease fire is over, and there's a new POTUS in town. The mistake Hamas made was thinking they were somehow on equal footing during the negotiations, and now they are fully in the "FO" stage of "FAFO".

Iran is probably shitting bricks right now. POTUS was serious when he said the MidEast status quo was over and that it was time to bring these long running issues to a close.

Mohammed Shit (no, really) got blowed up real good

I'm thinking a bomb already in the car. It may have been an IED, but I did not see much concealment.

It's at 1:22 if you need to smile. Whatever method they used, I'm pleased with the results!

was it a shape charge ? the kablewey went straight UP in a narrow plume. So maybe the car bomb was underneath with the charge blowing up through the driver and passenger compartment. Drone missiles seem to splat the target sideways in all directions for ground targets. In any case Karma was working in full force.

It appears Israel is fighting two wars... Hamas and internally.



OH, ISRAEL

Will Israel be ruined from the enemies within, who live in the Orwellian world of claiming their support for tyranny as actual support for democracy? It certainly looks that way. The Marxist activists and unelected ruling class led by their radical-left Supreme Court, have seized control over the levers of power and are moving rapidly to try to tighten their hold on the throat of Israel's highest elected official, the prime minister. And they are threatening a massive and violent revolt against any steps the prime minister may take, including the ministerial act of any chief executive such as removing a failed subordinate -- the director of their domestic equivalent of our FBI -- to manage his country. PM Netanyahu has stood for election many times, and he won election many times. He and his party, with its coalition, represent the will of the Israeli people. But they are relentlessly thwarted by an entrenched, unelected, unrepresentative cabal of judges and bureaucrats, backed by the minority left-wing parties, that threaten a civil war if the prime minister does not relent.

Link to the article Levin is discussing

An hour-long interview in Hebrew (with English subtitles) with Bibi who explains all his decision regarding the current war up to this point. I found it well worthwhile. Tablet will publish the transcript later.

So, what the hell is going on over there now. I see the "media" is pretty much ignoring it altogether. My impression is it's some kind of stare down, with the bad guys holding their breath and the good guys trying not to blink, while both sides making all sorts of active and reactive plans and contingencies. Is that basically it ? Everyone "holding on for now" in hope for a miracle acceptable solution of some sort ? Knowing the Iranians that doesn't even seem possible.

They copied what the Brits did in Dresden and what we did on the Ho Chi Minh Trail!

I heard the IDF is taking over civilian aid processing to draw civilians out of the areas where they need to mop up remaining combatants, and stop Hamas from selling the aid to their own people to fund their war machine. This sounds like something that has been done in war for millennia that you might read about in Sun Tsu.

Since the beginning I believed most of it was going directly to Hamas anyway in spite of whatever good intentions or corruption prevailed, and from what I heard this was a fact. I'm sure everyone in the know or with a lick of common sense knew this as well.

Maybe civilians not showing up for aid may be considered possible enemy combatants or their agents. I suspect this is part of the IDF plan as well. I bet Sun Tsu already discussed this, he covers lots of territory from all angles, and Israel is justifiably running out of patience.

Not sure when this happened (JNS International Policy Summit) or who the audience is.

It's a high level summary of history, events and truths / perspectives.

One thing is the acknowledgement that (young or democrat americans) are not supportive of ISR. Hopefully, there will be clear acknowledgement of the support ISR has from conservative republicans and the Trump administration.

Sad that ISR has been forced into a position to not share intel or decisions with the US (biden).

I heard today that Israel is going to occupy Gaza. I don't know the details or to what extent but it sounded like a big shift in policy for finishing the job and preventing terrorism from reforming again into the foreseeable future.

IDF, Shin Bet chief give final tactical approvals for widened Gaza invasion

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-852858

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir and Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar on Tuesday approved the final tactical plans for the widening of the Gaza invasion, which was more generally authorized by the security cabinet on Monday.

At this stage, this means that the IDF Southern Commanders, generals, and brigade commanders within the IDF and the Shin Bet already have practical "marching" orders for where to maneuver and with which forces.

The only thing holding them back now is some period of days for the full necessary IDF reservists to arrive and be ready for action as well as giving Hamas a last opportunity to cut a new hostage deal until after US President Donald Trump's visit to the region, due to conclude around May 15-16.

This comes a day after a senior security source said on Monday that as part of the impending widening of the invasion of Gaza, the IDF plans to completely clear northern Gaza of civilians, sending them to southern Gaza, where the new humanitarian aid pilot program will start.

The announcement finally means effectively the implementation of the "General's Plan," which was widely discussed for much of 2024, but never implemented under a mix of pressure from the Biden administration and objections within the IDF itself.

According to the plan - originated by former national security council chief Giora Eiland and then also adopted by a group of senior reservists officers who were upset that the war was not leading to a quick enough defeat of Hamas - if all civilians were cleared from northern Gaza, then the IDF could let loose completely against any remaining Hamas terrorists in the area.

Under the Trump administration, Israel has had a freer hand regarding how it handles war tactics and humanitarian aid.

The senior security source added that most of Gaza, other than certain set zones, would be cleared, and that northern Gaza, especially, would be mostly flattened as the IDF did in the Rafah area at the Morag Junction.

This would make it much harder for Hamas to continue to hide in northern Gaza.

It would also make it easier, said the source, to separate groups of Gazans to receive food without Hamas interference.

Further, the sources said that in the new phase of the invasion, Israel will significantly increase how much of Gaza it will hold onto, including keeping forces stationed in areas that have been taken over, far beyond the already 40% of Gaza that has been taken over.

In the event of a new ceasefire deal with Hamas, the source said that Israel would keep at a minimum a security zone strip around Gaza to secure the Israeli border perimeter.

Aid distribution in Gaza
All of this comes a day after The Jerusalem Post confirmed that the two companies expected to handle Gaza food aid distribution once Israel reopens the spigot to facilitate the aid are American companies: Safe Reach Solutions and UG Solutions.

These are the same companies who, along with certain Egyptian officials, supervised the checking of vehicles seeking to pass through from southern to northern Gaza in January of this year after the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas at the time went into effect.

The companies’ personnel often have special forces or CIA backgrounds to be qualified for handling complex foreign missions.

Although there is still no set date, the food aid is expected to be restarted in the coming weeks.

The Washington Post has reported that these companies will run five food distribution hubs in southern Gaza as part of the pilot program for returning at least 60 trucks of food per day to the Strip.
