But the vast majority of those "people" most certainly support Hamas. Since he's so smart, he should drag his butt over there and help the troops ID Hamas.

now hezbollah attacks with rockets from the north
So grateful Bibi is at the helm

Attack from the North

My guess is that Hamas has told Gaza civilians that they’ll be shot if they try to flee southward.

Hamas doesn’t want their human shields to escape.

Well planes and possibly a cruise ship will be employed to evacuate Americans. I am rather shocked that it took this long. The American tourists at the airport were beyond angry.

Just seems the Palestinian population of the West Bank is of little to no concern right now.

Fatah runs the West Bank. They lost the election to Hamas in Gaza and were booted. Fatah is supposedly more willing to work with Israel on a two state solution while acknowledging Israel’s right to exist and not demanding extinction of the Jews. I wouldn’t trust them but they’re claiming to be less death culty than Hamas and have behaved themselves much better so there’s that. I don’t imagine openly supporting Hamas in the West Bank is a life prolonging event much as not supporting Hamas in Gaza is any kind of option for one who wants to live a pain free existence until Hamas makes them stay home to die as propaganda martyrs.

The IDF struck 750 military targets overnight, including underground Hamas terror tunnels, military compounds and posts, residences of senior terrorist operatives used as military command centers, weapons storage warehouses, comms rooms and targeted senior terrorist operatives.

Dozens of fighter jets struck numerous Hamas military targets in the Gaza Strip, including 12 Hamas military assets, each located in a multi-story building used by the Hamas for terror purposes.

In parallel, IDF soldiers from a special unit targeted three Hamas operatives that specialize in mortar fire in the Gaza Strip, in a military command center in Gaza City, from which mortar shells were launched toward Israeli territory.

Overnight (Thursday), the IDF conducted a wave of strikes targeting the Nukhba elite forces of the Hamas terrorist organization, by striking operational command centers used by operatives who infiltrated the communities surrounding Gaza last Saturday.

The Nukhba elite forces consist of terrorists selected by senior Hamas operatives, designated to carry out terrorist attacks such as ambushes, raids, assaults, infiltration through terror tunnels, as well as anti-tank missile, rocket, and sniper fire. The Nukhba elite forces were one of the leading forces that infiltrated the State of Israel in order to carry out murderous acts of terror against its civilians.
Furthermore, IDF aircraft struck Muhammad Abu Shamla, a senior Hamas naval operative in the Rafah Brigade. Abu Shamla's residence was used to store naval weapons designated for terror against the State of Israel.

A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck an important operational, political and military center belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip - the Islamic University. The university was being used as a Hamas training camp for military intelligence operatives, as well as for the development and production of weapons. Hamas used university conferences in order to raise funds for terrorism. The university maintained close ties with the senior leadership of Hamas.

The IDF is continuing wide-scale strikes in the Gaza Strip at this time.

Yep. It’s hard for me to feel bad for the 98% of the population that aren’t “radical” that somehow turn a blind eye to the 2% doing all the brutalizing. History seems to have forgotten what happens when the general population allows stuff like this to occur. Can’t wait to see all of the cowards squawk when Israel follows through.

Absolutely YES they can move 1 million people in 24 hours.

On September 19, 1981 about 500,000 people attended the Simon and Garfunkel concert in Central Park. Many were pretty stoned. We parked maybe a 20 minute walk away. After the concert the mass of people walking down 5th Avenue was like a parade.

Over the course of maybe 4 or 5 hours, half a million people worked their way into Central Park and then back out. Peacefully, without needing outside organization.

Yes, a million people can move a few miles in 24 hours. If they want to.

I keep hearing the experts say how the terrorists are going to be popping in and out of tunnels, I think thats gonna be pretty hard to do when there are buildings laying on top of the entrances.

Reps. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) and Andy Ogles (R-TN) are introducing legislation that would ban President Joe Biden’s administration from importing Palestinians to the United States to be resettled in American communities.

The bill, exclusively shared with Breitbart News ahead of its introduction, is titled the “Guaranteeing Aggressors Zero Admission Act” or the GAZA Act. The legislation would prevent Biden’s administration from issuing visas to those with Palestinian Authority passports.

“Following the horrific attack by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists on innocent Israeli civilians, the last thing America ought to do is trust identity documents issued by the radicals that oversee these territories,” Tiffany said in a statement. “We need to put our security at home first and that starts by closing the door to bad actors who might be seeking to enter our country.”

Likewise, the bill would prevent Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from funneling Palestinians into the U.S. through the agency’s parole pipeline.

While fuming as I watched the pro-Hamas attack demonstrations at our so-called "Institutions of Higher Learning", my wife made an interesting observation, "Those are the type of people who Biden wants to pay student loans off for."

Insanity.

I halfway expected to see that sort of thing going on at Harvard and Yale. I was surprised (and annoyed) this evening to learn that UVA and UNC campuses were sites of such "protests."

Tonydec, your wife makes a very good point.

Thank God my alma mater had no protests. Harvard has been out of touch for years. I have never been impressed with their graduates. Dershowitz is going nuts over the protests,as he is a Harvard grad.

I have read here and in other venues that the Hamas leadership don’t even live in Gaza but instead some place else.
Do we know who these people actually are and where they live so they can be taken out?

Trump has been critical of Netanyahu of late. I'm not offering any comments about this. Just raising the issue. I do wonder if this may cost Trump some support among Conservative supporters of Israel and Netanyahu.

Thank you Berto !!! That cleared it up for me.

Constructive criticism.
