You remain an determined ignoramus, one unable to get pass the tit for tat argument of the playground . Israel has been found to hit both hospitals and ambulances in the past , deliberately fudging the truth in the vital few hours after the occurrence. Whether this is or is not the case here still ...

Grow up , there’s a good boy . FFS It is unclear to whom that comment was directed, but a short review of your posting from a couple of days ago, tends to suggest you have enough egg on your face to make a large omelette.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4AIibXdqQM Great if true - Palestinians hunting down Hamas members None of the usual suspects here have dismissed this as Israeli propaganda yet.

And a reminder, yes Hamas does have rockets that can cause that much damage. And then some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYvxSNRjbyg S-8OFP Unguided Missile S-8OFP (С-8ОФП) is an 80mm unguided rocket developed primarily for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Israel is being the catalyst with its rapprochement with Arab states. Why do you think Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah are suddenly intensifying the war and in one case cutting off babies heads, raping women, and taking hostages? They can see that time is turning against them. 1991 called and it wants i...

Yeah, it's about end game and exit strategy really. I understand Israeli motivation for a ground invasion, but other than revenge, what's the strategic goal? Other than a completely unrealistic pipe dream of eliminating Hamas. There's only massive escalation and suffering on all sides as realistic ...

I am watching Turkey USA relations with reference to Israel Palestine. This might provide the time frame for escallation to the wider region.

Of course the lefties will all bridle at that because they don't like private enterprise, but they can get f u cked. See, this is where Democracy goes wrong.

The only bit I have seen is a quoted "leading defence analysist" who is named as Malcolm Davis, who says it doesnt look like Israel. I looked up Malcolm Davis and he seemed legitimate, but the evidence he quotes is circumstantial. I think therefore there is a good chance it was Hamas / Islamic Jiha...

Flockwitt has already posted the link. The Telegraph article? But that quotes an Israeli army analyst. He is not neutral. Gaza's health minister said it was Israel. He is not neutral either. Why believe one over the other? There is a good article on News.com.au about it, quoting an Australian analy...

Actually it has been, from drone footage & geo-location by an independent organisation. They say ... "the strike was likely caused by “a missile launched by a Palestinian group [which] exploded mid-air (reason unknown) and one piece fell on the hospital causing an explosion”.

News also coming out of Lebanon that the crowds decided it would be a sensible idea to attack the UN building there as well.

Here is an example of propaganda, based on an outright lie, masquerading as a news story, that is being used to whip up a frenzy against not only Israel, and the US, but also now France. https://bnn.network/world/iran/black-flag-raised-at-razavi-shrine-in-mashhad-echoing-prophetic-hadith-about-khora...

I just had a look at the distances on a scale map - Poima is about 5km from Prydniprovs'ke, but is a tiny village; Pishchanivka is a significantly bigger built up area, so it is too early to tell exactly what the UAF are doing here. This is just upstream from the (destroyed by HIMARS) Antonivka brid...

A very interesting discussion of "chip-tracing" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsuo_L26vwU It seems that until May 2023, recovered chips from wreckage of Russian drones and missiles were from production batches prior to February 2022, which might have been stockpiled. Lately however more rece...

If you mean blend in and pretend to be a civilian, that runs the risk they will be identified anyway.

"Relentless use of artillery and airpower" and boots on the ground - and "If Hamas choose to fight, then they will die".

Avdiivka appears to have turned into the same type of disaster for the Russians as Vuhledar last Winter. It's very 'Soviet' of them.

The ISW mapping is showing some Russian gains North and South of the village of Avdiivka. However, it seems they have "expended" a lot of armoured vehicles and riflemen to do it. Why they want it back is unclear; it's the high ground to the North near Klishchiivka that is more important. If they int...

Is this honestly a serious post? Do you think Hamas is widely supported in Palestine? The same old threadbare apologia.

You are hiding behind propaganda, who knows you may even believe it. There is no targeting of Hamas, they are targeting an dense area were millions live, and maybe just maybe a Hamas fighter might be nearby, therefore they, whatever they say, are just killing civilians on mass.
