A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

60% of Gaza destroyed already..... That's... Just rubble.
And now they are going for the south.
The hamas leader sure seems to be in a lot of places at once.
Kind of feels like burning a house down to kill a spider.
Most likely just going to rebuild it as their own.
The reports of ignoring intelligence and low amount of troops on the border almost makes it feel like they allowed it to happen so they could go in and level the place.
Like a false flag attack but allowing it to happen instead of doing it yourself.
I think they just got cocky being in control for so long, but the right wing have never been ones to let a good disaster go to waste.
Yeah. Letting it happen doesn't exactly make them look good. So most likely just incompetence.

I honestly thought the leadership was outside of Palestine, otherwise they would have been assassinated already
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israel remains determined to take control of the southern part of the strip, and in particular Khan Younis, where it believes Hamas’s leader, Yahwa Sinwar, is based, in pursuit of the overall goal of destroying the group’s military and political capacity.
“The IDF knows it cannot conduct a duplicate of the operation in northern Gaza in the south,” said Tamir Hayman, a former head of Israel’s military intelligence, who has been providing advice to his previous employer since 7 October.
On Wednesday, Yahya al-Sarraj, the mayor of Gaza City, told Al Jazeera that 60% of housing units and apartments have been destroyed, roughly in line with analysis from satellite imagery.
Gaza’s northernmost town, Beit Hanoun, was after the initial aerial bombardment attacked and surrounded, and a commander, Col Arye Baat from the 252nd division, a unit of reservists, said it took “about 24 days” to seize military control in heavy fighting.
Oxfam says it and its partners have struggled to deliver aid on the levels required during the current pause in fighting, with water, electricity and full telecoms not restored, with humanitarian workers and machinery to remove the rubble often denied entry.
The stakes have been raised so high by Israel, which argues that the very existence of Hamas on its border amounts to an existential threat, that the simple survival of the group as a coherent force and Sinwar himself would be seen as a defeat.
