Looks like a war is beginning in Israel tonight

[Arazi]

Lots of reports of casualties, rockets, police station ambushed etc.

Hamas has called for reinforcements from Lebanon, Syria etc.

An incursion this large would have had some level of help (and backing) of Iran imo.

Things are going to get very very ugly over the next 24 hours …

8. Wow, thanks for posting the link.

I just turned CNN on. I don't watch that station unless it is about something objective, like an earthquake or an extreme weather event.

This is very, very bad.

I'm going to post it in Latest Breaking News since it hasn't been done so far.

How did Israel miss the planning for this, I wonder.

This is a massive incursion atm

3. IDF air strikes underway. Gaza will be a parking lot after this

4. Violence in response to violence in response to violence in response to... you get the point.

Get ready for a nauseating parade of wagging fingers from people who have fuck-all knowledge of what is actually happening there day in day out...

[Arazi]

7. I'm more worried Israel will use this as an excuse to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities

There’s no way Hamas has gotten this much firepower piecemeal via smuggling.

Gaza is going to be obliterated but I’m thinking Israel will go bigger. The images are horrific (torture and mutilation)

[Sympthsical]

6. Had a friend calling us about it

He’s visiting his father who lives in Israel.

Said he was freaking out, but his dad was sleeping through. Kind of darkly funny. We asked if there was a shelter, but he wasn’t sure.

But it seems to be going down from what he was saying.

9. I read that Israel has declared a state of war

[applegrove]

10. Israel has declared a 'State of War Alert'. The CNN reporter

was speculating it had to do with Israel negotiations with Saudi Arabia and the USA. The Palestinians want to make a point. Vibes to one and all.

14. Not just captured. Tortured and killed

The Israeli response is going to be massive once they get over the shock.

Their slow response has been pretty stunning.

That’ll change and fast - nobody’s going to be taken captive anymore

15. At this time, substitute twitter for x and you get the preview and link.

But things change so fast with Melon Mmusk.

16. Thx.

12. Many many many twitter images are very very bloody

13. No big surprise, Palestinian Islamic Jihad has joined Hamas

An outright terrorist group. Any restraint Israel might have been exercising for the past 10 years is over

Of those places and a couple more.
