Understanding #Gaza and #IsraelUnderAttack

1. Gaza strip is narrow sliver of land on the South Eastern shore of the Mediterranean Ocean. It has a 11 km border with Egypt on its South, a 50 km border with Israel on its North and East and of course the ocean on its West

1/n

2. It produces nothing and gets its electricity and water from Israel. Food comes partly from Israel and partly from Egypt. The border with Egypt has only once crossing at Rafa. The rest is guarded and patrolled by Egypt. Infact Egypt is building a wall. Yes a wall like the

2/n

one Trump was building with Mexico. Why ? Because Egypt does not want these vicious crazed Jihadis to come in. In fact no Arab country does. Thats why none of the other Arab countries close by- Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Saudi, Lebanon have taken in Palestinians since 1947

3/n

That tells you something

3. So Iran fishes in troubled waters and tries to incite Jihad via its proxies. Israel has done its best for peace and has given up many of its claims but Iran incites Palestinians to intifada to show Arabs, Sunnis that Iran is more Muslim than them

4/n

4. So the quetsion is how does Iran get weapons to #Hamas ? The only land route is via the 11 km border with Egypt. And thats guarded. Palestians keep building tunnels and Egypt keeps destroying them. Smuggling heavy weapons like MLRS via tunnels is impossible, though

5/n

rockets for MLRS can be smuggled in with difficulty. So that could be a route

The only other route is via the sea. Its unlikely that Israel allows anything to slip by as the sea frontage is so narrow and easily patrolled. But maybe some gets through

Gaza is known to have

6/n

workshops to produce rockets with Iranian designs. They also produce mortars. But where do they get the steel, fuel and raw materials to build such a large arsenal ?

5. And their arsenal is big. They have fired 1200 plus rockets. For comparison a Pinka Regt fires 216 🚀

7/n

as its first load and carries 2/3 reloads before needing re supply. So this is a heavy volume of fire designed to overwhelm Israeli defences like Iron Dome

Plus mortar fire is being used on Israeli villages nearby

6. It is very likely that Hamas is getting advice from 🇮🇷

8/n

on operational and tactical matters via the Internet. That is why Israel has taken out their INT echelon and their Internet and mobile communications.

Israel should also cut off electricity to Gaza

7. Hamas are using human shields by occupying buildings where civilians

9/10

"civilians" live. Hamas must be held to account for the inevitable "civilian casualties" as Israel targets the weapons locations, INT networks, command and control of Hamas. Its vital to take these out and Israel is doing so with success.

8. A ground op is necessary

10/n

to locate and destroy all weapons producing facilities, residual leadership, tunnels

Israel will be well within its rights to reduce the size of Gaza and occupy key areas of it. Its clear that Palestinians are not wired for peace. The arab world is also tired of them

11/n

and will not give them much support except perhaps Qatar which is on a jiahdi trajectory.

With Biden's election and the takeover of Democratic party by Islamists, the peace that Trump brought to Middle East is under stress

But Israel is resolute
