Meanwhile in Gaza:
CW for combat footage, in the link, but it's Zionazis eating shit.
The military wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, released new combat footage documenting targeted operations as part of its ongoing campaign titled David’s Stones, including a direct strike on an Israeli Merkava tank in southern Khan Younis.
According to the footage, fighters used a Yassin-105 anti-tank shell to target the tank near Abu Sharakh junction, amid continued confrontations with Israeli occupation forces along various axes of incursion. The video also showed mortar attacks on Israeli troop concentrations in multiple areas of Gaza.
Al-Qassam also revealed footage of a complex ambush carried out in al-Atatra, Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza. The operation targeted an Israeli unit barricaded inside a house, striking the site with a TBG shell, reportedly causing casualties among the Israeli force.
In the same engagement, Resistance fighters also hit another Merkava tank with a Yassin-105 and detonated an IED under a D9 bulldozer, destroying its turret and injuring its crew.
Separately, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, al-Quds Brigades, published footage of their own operation north of Khan Younis, where an Israeli military vehicle was blown up using an IED assembled from repurposed remnants of Israeli weaponry.
Al-Quds Brigades also confirmed they had detonated a minefield targeting an Israeli sapper unit east of Khan Younis on Thursday, adding to the growing number of tactical strikes against advancing occupation forces.
The Palestinian Resistance movement stressed that "Israel’s" escalating military campaign is "only deepening its losses and pushing its captives further into the unknown." Hamas reiterated that "there is no solution except through a comprehensive agreement, a path Netanyahu continues to reject."
Dismissing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rhetoric of "absolute victory" as a "misleading illusion," Hamas declared that "the war Netanyahu sought to make endless has become a daily burden," warning that his insistence on prolonging the aggression would ultimately "mark the end of his political and personal career."
These statements follow reports by Israeli media that 12 Israeli soldiers were evacuated from Khan Younis in southern Gaza after a booby-trapped building they were in exploded during an operation.
Most of the injured personnel are reportedly members of elite military units.
THEY HIT THE FUCKING PENTAGON
Oh shit it's begun.
Would you consider the feeling of uncertainty be preferable to despair and frustration?
Either way I'm still feeling like my insides are about to melt.
IOF issuing some untypically... stoic statements? definitely a more grim tone
If you were to go by the current mood in this megathread so far, you'd expect the IOF to be hooting and hollering in victory right now.
I don't want to trivialize any of this by saying something so incredibly cringe, but I wish there were irl spoilers I can read just so I know what the outcome's going to be. All this constant anxiety over the state of the world is too fucking much.
On another note: Disney+? I'm pretty sure the only thing Israelis watch for entertainment are footage of Palestinian children being killed.
If Iran falters I'm gonna start putting my hopes into climate change fucking Israel up so hard that no settler would want to live there anymore.
There is no layer of hell deep enough for Israel and all of its supporters.
My view is entirely vibes, but I always feel like life/events/some evil god has a tendency to see people here trying to reassure others that all is not lost, and then proceed to rig things in Israel's favor just as a "fuck you," even if it defies all logic and material analysis in the process.
The continuing to prove itself to be the primordial source of all the evil that plagues the world today.
After the initial high of Iran's missile strikes from yesterday wore off, I don't know if it's healthy to be following events as they unfold. Looks like things are continuing to escalate? So much going on.
Personally I still feel slightly ill.
