  1. In the sense that they were fighting, caught by surprised. Then, mobilized into a coherent force. An example would be the current Russian army in Ukraine, as opposed to the initial invasion force. As they are better organized and logistics have also stabilized.

  2. Why, it's not like Hezbollah is going cross the border. Especially when the IDF is now mobilized. The even more difficult part is Russia is occupied in Ukraine. So they're not being supplied en mass by Syria, which is still involved in a civil war. Who is also supplied by Russia. Even Iran is questionable, given they're selling to Russia.

  3. That argument makes no sense. You're essentially saying they're both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli, at the same time.

  4. You mean the same tunnel system that is partially flooded. After the IDF started pumping sea water into it. Regardless of your own political opinions, that's definitely an effective counter.

  5. So, who are you to believe. What are your credentials?

  7.  @ALMUTASEMBELLAH  Smart enough to figure that sentence isn't structured right. But sure, what are the numbers you're referring to.

  8. So what happened those other times involving the Syrian and Egyptian armies.

  9. Not all males, but over the age of 14 apparently. And that's assuming the accusation is actually true. Given 15,000 militants out of a population of over 2.3 million is entirely possible. It would be less than 0.65% of the population.

  10. He's just trying to be edgy with the memes like a child. So he avoids saying Hamas, which is clearly involved.

  11. Or it could be the obvious fact that not many troops for a territory with over 2 million people within. IDF causalities have nothing to do with it. There's just a lot of people in the Gaza Strip.

  12. @avus-kw2f213  The issue is that the opposition is going eventually run out of resources. Iran is busy supplying Russia in Ukraine. Not to mention, some of the tunnel were already flooded when the IDF pumped seawater into them. If anything, Israel intends to re-occupy the Gaza Strip.

  13. @avus-kw2f213  Which still requires import, as was the case before. It will be harder if the IDF re-takes the ports as they have been discussing.

  14. @avus-kw2f213  Although how long will that last.

  15. Granted they're the stateless opposition. Also, exactly how would they measure those details. It's about as biased as asking Russia for Ukraine casualty figures.

  16. Based on what, since you're confident.
