Word on social media is Hamas is scoring some hits on IOF tanks and soldiers too.

It's a shame American media can't get any journalists in safely to report what is happening in war fighting, now that Israel is going after Hamas and telling us they plan to occupy the territories.

They have made big mess they will have to clean up, but maybe their occupying soldiers will be better at rebuilding than they are strategy military strategy?  It will be good when the civilians are not targeted, and the Hamas soldiers underground are focused up by fighting forces.

Gaza is their turf; of course Israel will continue to lose soldiers in the fight against Hamas. Running up the score on the civilian deaths wasn't the big win internationally, or as motivation for their own citizens either, I suspect, with so many hostages still outstanding and the natural push not to be involved in long-term wars with little real results other than taking lives for little gain: 

Israel said it was continuing its pursuit of top Hamas leaders in the southern Gaza Strip, as civilians forced into slivers of land on the southern edge of the enclave faced continuing bombardment even in the places they were told to go to by the Israeli military.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israeli troops had surrounded the home of Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis. Israeli authorities have said that Mr. Sinwar masterminded the Hamas attacks in Israel on Oct. 7. It was not immediately clear if Israel had confirmed his presence inside the home.

“He can escape, but it is only a matter of time until we reach him,” Mr. Netanyahu said in a video posted on the social media site X.

Some of the tens of thousands of people ordered to leave parts of Khan Younis have fled farther south to Rafah, a city along the border with Egypt and one of the few remaining places Israel’s military has told displaced Gazans they can seek safety.

Later on Wednesday, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military’s chief spokesman, said Mr. Sinwar was “not above the ground” but did not provide any additional details about where they believed he is.
