The last time Israel invaded the Gaza Strip nearly a decade ago, its troops pummeled an overmatched Hamas fighting force. They destroyed tunnel systems and sealed off smuggling routes, costing the Islamist group two-thirds of its missiles by the time they withdrew.
Now, as Israel steps up a new invasion, it faces a more-potent enemy that has rebuilt its arsenal with help from Iran. Since the operation started on Oct. 27, Hamas has attacked the Israeli army with explosive-laden drones, anti-tank missiles and high-impact rockets—the sorts of weapons that have transformed the battlefield in Ukraine.
With 26 fatalities in a week of operation, Israelis are dying at more than twice the rate as in 2014, when 67 lost their lives during a seven-week campaign.

Every time I neglect the weeds in my garden they sprout up and grow like, well, weeds. Not any more. I have resolved to keep them in check, and may even stoop to spreading a little weed killer.
Left to their own devices, weeds destroy everything.

$6 billion from Biden to Iran perhaps had something to do with it
@RepublicBrandonDemocrat7mos7MO
Biden stopped enforcing sanctions on Iran. Idiot woke Americans donating to “Palestine” that gets redirected to the terrorists.
News media that uncritically parrot Hamas PR and never provide real information that contradicts the narrative.
