Israel Has Taken All of Northern Gaza But Gaza War Will Continue through 2024

Main combat operations in the north of the Gaza Strip have come to an end, with the focus shifting to central and southern Gaza.

In central Gaza, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) has advanced and encircled the Al Bureij camp. They have also advanced south along the Salah Al Deen road.

The IDF has continued to expand its control in the Kharn Yunis area.

Israeli spokesman indicate that Israel must achieve total victory in Gaza and against Hamas. This will mean operations shift from the North to Center and South.

Israel’s military says Hamas has been destroyed in northern Gaza and that the Jewish state will now concentrate on its central and southern regions — with the war set to last at least a year.

The Palestinian terror group’s 12 battalions operating out of north Gaza have been defeated, Israel Defense Forces Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari announced over the weekend.

“Now, we are focusing on dismantling Hamas in the central and southern Gaza Strip. We will do this differently, thoroughly, based on the lessons we have learned from the fighting so far,” Israel Defense Forces Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said.

It will take a year to dismantle Hamas according to Maj Gen Amos Yadlin.

  1. The Japanese were (are) an extraordinarily productive people; WW2 for them was the culmination of their efforts as an industrial power (THE industrial power in all Asia), and they were determined to make an Asian Empire, a Japanese Empire that would be at least as large — economically, militarily and population-wise — as America and Europe combined.

    So … we blasted ’em. And they quickly got it. Stop doing that.

    Once surrendered, with the remarkable foresight of the US: realizing that Japan’s industrial excellence was only slightly harmed by both The War and The Nuking, and that a fully re-built Japan as an ally, would be quite beneficial for both, the reparations began. As in repair-ations.

    Sure enough, the Japanese didn’t disappoint. Absolutely epic rebuilding on all corners of the picayune island nation.

    So, now of the Palestinians. Let’s follow the crumbs, see how this goes.

    HAMAS is defeated outright. Its leadership “gets it” and takes the uniform advice of a hundred nations: to unconditionally surrender. Admit defeat, have the figureheads-of-shame incarcerated, some hanged. MOVE ON to a new Palestine, one that not only is rebuilt, but thrives. Israel (and Léts face it, mostly the United States) coughs up quite a few more billions to seriously rebuild Gaza. Done right. Not slums. Gazans get their shît together and elect a competent government. Industry is invested in, agriculture is modernized. The neighboring oil-ticks are in turn taxed with providing seed capital to get Gaza going well. Grudgingly they chuck mun into the pot.

    Is this plausible?

    If we LISTEN to the Gazan mouthpieces, we hear that Gaza is now uninhabitable. And that Gaza was almost unimaginably impoverished by Israeli Apartheid. And that she has dozens of critically necessary REFUGEE camps, now dust and debris. And that they’d rather die trying than ever accept a Peace Accord with her Israeli genocidal tormenters.

    Um… no. Gaza’s people ARE responsible for her lack-of-development in ways compatible with her neighbors. Completely so. She’s been handed billions of Refugee Relief funds, and now has legions of fat cats driving fancy Italian cars, that have villas abroad. Her impoverished remains poor because they are ruled by a kleptocratic band of overlords.

    Chuck THOSE out, and KEEP EM OUT. That’d really be the first step.

    So… defeat of HAMAS and her surrender is key. There is no way to ‘cure the patient’ if the cancer isn’t completely removed. The trick is NOT TO KILL the patient. Neat trick. Perhaps Israel will do so, in spite of the anti-war protests around the world undermining her efforts. Perhaps.

    To hoping.

    • Yes, but its one thing to kill Hamas, it’s another to kill the idea behind Hamas

      Hamas is just Al Quida, Taliban, ISIS all over again

  2. Maybe Hamas will learn something from this, probably not. Maybe Gazans spending a decade rebuilding will preoccupy them sufficiently that they won’t have time to plan any other terror-rape-kidnapping attacks.

    • If inflicted with enough suffering, hamas will eventually learn. We saw something similar in Japan where they had a civilian population ready to might the USA to the death should they be invaded. But after being nuked twice, they gave up hope and surrendered. If gazans really give up on fighting the Israelis, there will be peace. The only question is what will it take to convince them.

      • Japanese had a sovereign state post nuking to get busy with. This conflict won’t end until some sort of Palestinian state forms. Trying to pacify Palestinians with suffering will only discredit Israel while boosting recruitment for whatever militant group rises next.

      • Gaza was a trial run

        Israel gave it back in 2005
        The blockade began in 2007 when Hamas took power.

        Hamas is dedicated to the destruction of Israel, hence the blockade
