When do they get the water for flooding the tunnel?

The ones that go into Israel proper I'm pretty sure they could easily get a fire hose hooked up to a nearby hydrant and flood them. I don't know how it would work in Gaza, but I'm sure they have a way.

Where do they get the water for flooding the tunnel? They’d need a LOT.

Have you looked at a map?

^^^^
A partial translation I saw on the X feed said "God, God, God is my witness." Whether it is correct or not, who knows.

I suppose that probably makes more sense, but I was thinking something like a scaled up Rodex 5000 pro would be the bomb. Pun intended.

Regarding dealing with the Hamas tunnel network, I saw this video yesterday that was pretty informative. It is my understanding that the US may be withholding the more powerful GBU-72 variant for this conflict.

Watching this video, that is some top-knotch BDA. Is this being provided by the attacking aircraft, or do they pre-position drones that provide this footage?

here is some more footage of the video para posted where a terrorist is shot

Shows what happened earlier

At 0:45 it looks like the terrorist shot someone in a house

The way he cries out at his end is most satisfying.

It’s a Trap! The Wave of Repercussions as the Middle East Fights “The Last War”

By Brandon Smith

Few people are familiar with a little event around 1200 BC called the Bronze Age Collapse in the region known as the Levant (now known as the Middle East). Most folks are taught that history and progress travel in a straight line and that each generation improves upon the culture and innovations of previous generations. This delusion is constructed around a Smithsonian-influenced view of the past. In reality, history tends to go in a circle, or a spiral, with innovation leading to ease, ease leading to laziness and corruption, and corruption leading to weakness and collapse.

Over and over again, humanity reaches for Elysium on Earth only to be slapped back down. The survivors then build grass huts on top of the ruins of the old empires and they start over from scratch. Why is does the Bronze Age catastrophe matter? Obviously, because history tends to rhyme.

This seems to be well documented from many sources.

___________________________

The Hamas was no match for an intrepid 25-year-old Israeli woman — who saved an entire kibbutz from harm by leading a group of residents to kill more than two dozen advancing terrorists, including five she slaughtered herself.

Inbar Lieberman, the security coordinator of Kibbutz Nir Am since December 2022, heard explosions early Saturday, when the terrorists launched their unprecedented attack on the Jewish state, according to Walla News.

She realized that the sounds were different than those heard during the usual rocket attacks on the kibbutz — located near Sderot and a stone’s throw from the Gaza Strip.

So Lieberman rushed to open the armory, distributed guns to the 12-member security team and coordinated their decisive response amid the unfolding attack.

She placed her squad of kibbutzniks in strategic positions across the settlement and set up ambushes that caught the gunmen off guard and turned the tables on them during their mission to inflict mass casualties.

Lieberman killed five terrorists by herself, while the others gunned down 20 more over four hours as they turned Nir Am into an impenetrable fortress — while nearby kibbutzim suffered heavy losses, Walla News reported.

That's a shortened version of one of my favorite quote about the study of history:

"It has been said that history repeats itself. This is perhaps not quite correct... it merely rhymes."

Good video at

2,000 US troops just received orders to prepare for possible deployment.

From https://www.wsj.com/livecovera...0pYNLxiZ7dmUbN6NxCML

quote:

The U.S. military has selected roughly 2,000 troops to prepare for a potential deployment to support Israel, U.S. defense officials said. The troops are tasked with missions like advising and medical support, the officials said, and they are from across the U.S. armed services. They aren't intended to serve in a combat role, the officials said. No infantry have been put on prepare-to-deploy order.

The troops are currently stationed both inside the Middle East and outside, including Europe, the officials said. It isn't clear under what circumstances the U.S. could deploy the troops or to where, but the Pentagon decision signaled it is preparing to support Israeli troops should Israel launch a ground incursion into Gaza.

"They aren't intended to serve in a combat role".

Hmmmmmm...now where have I heard THAT bullshit before?!?!? JSMFH......

** Wonder if any of the 2,000 are Palestinian. Just askin'.....

Do you think that we don’t already have boots on the ground?

^^^^
To be quite honest, no. Do you have compelling evidence to suggest "we" do??
