 All right, so first up, a quick update on what's happening on the ground in Israel, and then we'll go into some details on a few of the different aspects of the war. Israel, as we talked about yesterday, is basically surrounded Gaza City, which is where most of the Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip live. They've come in from the north, they've come in from the south, they've split, basically disconnected the north part of Gaza from the south part of Gaza, and they are slowly starting to enter Gaza City and in the various towns and camps surrounding Gaza City. The goal is to go in and dismantle and destroy the tunnel infrastructure that Hamas has built. They're killed as many Hamas members as possible and destroy any ammunition they have and hopefully find some hostages and free them if that is at all possible. My understanding is that they are going to try to avoid going into the tunnels themselves. Going into tunnels could be suicidal, my guess is they might send special forces in there to try to get intelligence and to try to release hostages, but generally I think the goal is going to be to either smoke the Hamas out, that is fill the tunnels with smoke and force them out, or to basically destroy the tunnels to have them, cause them to cave in, to block the exits and to create a situation where people, you know, the Hamas are trapped inside, die inside, or are forced out and therefore into the open and are killed outside. The challenge of course is that at least in Gaza City and the south part of Gaza City, so close to where the Israeli troops are already there, there are two hospitals. And the challenge is that the Hamas has built much of their infrastructure, their command posts underneath these hospitals. So a lot of the tunnels, the hubs underneath these hospitals, Israel has constantly asked for these hospitals to be evacuated. The Palestinians refused, the hospitals are still functioning, but Israel cannot destroy the tunnels underneath them, it cannot destroy the facilities underneath them without destroying the hospitals above or without risking munitions exploding underneath the hospital and imploding the whole hospital and then Israel gets to blame. So Israel has a real quandary in terms of how to do it, how to do it. And for now what it looks like they're doing is the bombing everything around the hospital, they're basically destroying the buildings surrounding the hospital, partially I think to give them a warning, to tell them what's going to happen to them unless they evacuate. So that's going on right now, you've got massive shelling of the buildings and infrastructure around the two hospitals, but the flattening of those buildings will also potentially give Israel access to the tunnels without actually going through the hospital, but it's still true that anyone of those tunnels could implode and explode and take down a hospital with it. And that's the purpose, that's how Hamas fights. It fights by jeopardizing and sacrificing its own people by putting its own people in the line of fire, by creating a circumstance where for Israel to win it must kill many civilians. That is the Hamas strategy. The Hamas strategy is not to win, the Hamas strategy is to force the hand of the Americans and the Europeans to start reining in Israel, to force Israel to have a ceasefire, to force Israel to retreat. Hamas can't kick Israel out of Gaza, but America could put the squeeze on Israel and force them out of Gaza, and that's what Hamas is counting on. And for that, Hamas needs as many civilians to die, as many hospitals to be blown up, as many good TikTok videos to be available to show how horrible life is in Gaza and how evil Israel is actually.
