Interesting article in naked capitalism that contains an info I had not seen before:

Palestinian forces made substantial inroads, advancing into Israeli camps and targeting the 8200th Intelligence Unit among other 11 military barracks. This unit, a linchpin of the Israeli intelligence apparatus, is directly linked to the Gaza Division Command and oversees drones that gather intelligence for Israeli targeting.

The successful attack on this unit, resulting in its destruction and the reported capture or elimination or escape of its personnel, has severely affected the Israeli military’s intelligence capabilities. This setback is evident in the Israeli army’s lack of actionable intelligence.

The unit mentioned has apparently been described as "Israel's NSA". Yet another element showing this was brilliantly planned.

Governments, if they want, can decrypt any chat

This is not true. Encryption that is not breakable by anyone - including governments - and the tools to use it have been available to everyone for decades now.

It might be broken later (which is why the US stores encrypted messages) but not right now, and is unlikely to be in the foreseeable future.

One of the lemmy.ml mods - for the privacy, technology, and privatelife comms - is a deep seated misogynist

lmao I thought you were kidding

The only thing she did was rightfully call the Palestinian fighters "freedom fighters", too.

If it's a bit I fail to get the joke, and their comments history doesn't support that either

I hoped that the hostages taken by Hamas might deter any extreme excesses from the IDF

Israel already said they will bomb houses indiscriminately without checking if they contain hostages beforehand IIRC; they don't care.

the Israeli government is more than willing to make a couple hundred martyrs

Already more than 400 Palestinians have been killed in retaliatory airstrikes, including at least 20 children.

Also, while Israel has the backing of the imperial core, ultimately if the recent events have proved something it's that no matter their advances in terms of means / funds / tech, ultimately sufficiently organized and motivated resistance fighters made that count for very little. Erez crossing for example was supposed to be an ultra-secure high tech border checkpoint and it got wrecked instantly.

The book provides details about main motions [...] Subsidiary motions – postpone indefinitely, amend, commit or refer, postpone to a certain time, limit or extend limits of debate, previous question, and lay on the table

Remember that grandmother that was captured ? more on her:

“Her name is Yaffa Adar and she is 85!!” Adar wrote of her kidnapped granny. [...] “My grandmother established the kibbutz with her own hands, believed in Zionism, in this country that has abandoned her, a hostage,” Adar wrote
