Featured Israel-Palestinian Conflict Resurgence 2021: Al-Aqsa attacks, riots, rockets, military clashes and Jerusalem conflict

[Tomcats]

I think most people on the forum have realized that talking to you is like talking to a brick wall, The Israeli's have forced the hand of the Palestinians, they have no other choice but to fire and fight from densely populated area's because there are no other area's to fire from, and mind you the area is so densely populated because the Israeli's keep encroaching upon Palestinian land and kicking them out. You talk about them firing rockets indiscriminately and hitting civilians, well that's because most of their rockets are unguided and imprecise maybe if the Israeli's stopped killing any respectable Palestinian scientist or industry they could develop some more precise weaponry so that collateral damage is reduced. These Palestinians are fighting for their lives and when your pushed to such limits you have two options, you use what is at your disposal or you surrender to your enemy and in the case of the Palestinians that would be worse than death

I agree that Netanyahu's actions definitely instigated the situation, however the militants are escalating it. There was not one death from the protests at first, messy scenes but no deaths. Yet the militants felt so threatened that they launched missiles knowingly imprecise at Jerusalem. Imagine if that hit Al-Aqsa, they'll probably say Israel exploded it or some other bs and cause an all out massacre of each other, which is precisely their aim. Even with guided munitions they targeted a civilian vehicle so make of that what you will i suppose. They have precision and long range weaponry however are refraining from using it mostly as it will be another escalation, they are being a tad bit cautious to provoke Israel further.

I am open to other opinions as long as they are respectful, provide insight and constructive criticism. I don't tolerate genocidal delusions as a certain member(s) are here trying to incite.

Arab leaders are pressuring Hamas into de-escalation. As if Hamas had attacked Jerusalem.

Go on Hamas, Allah/God is always on side of the oppressed regardless of faith/religion/race. Your deads will be revived with martyrs of Khaybar war.

Same $hit we have seen during the past decades. Monafegh Egypt is the real troublemaker here... everytime the Israelis get pressured they quickly act to please their zionist masters. Egypt and Jordan are the trouble here.

Qassam Brigades statement:

"English: If the enemy goes too far and bombs the civilian towers, Tel Aviv will be on a date with a more severe missile strike than what happened in Ashkelon"

Reminder that they stated they fired 137 rockets at Ashkelon/Ashdod in 5 minutes .... And this is their official spokesman so they will do it if Israel moves forward with more attacks....

Israel may be surprised if escalation continues other entities may enter the picture

Currently 7:04PM in Gaza City. What the hell is PIJ doing at 21:00? Anyone have a guess? 9pm special



The idea of Israel killing civilians by accident is a myth, IDF has the location of every phone number in Gaza

Target Tel-Aviv?

Israeli forces killed one Palestinian, and critically injured another after shooting at their car in the West Bank.

Reminder that they stated they fired 137 rockets at Ashkelon/Ashdod in 5 minutes .... And this is their official spokesman so they will do it if Israel moves forward with more attacks....

Okay, so they stated if Israel targets high rise buildings/complexes for destruction. Israel has done this in the past to cause immense infrastructure damage and would call residents of apartment complexes to evacuate then hit the building just like this:

If they do that again, then Tel Aviv will be targeted in similar manner.

Some senior figure in Hamas said that barrage was not even a fraction of Hamas' rocket arsenal.

If they can fire 137 rockets in 5 minutes and 630 rockets in 24 hours, he's probably right.

My estimate is about 7,000-11,000 rockets total

Also fact. A BM-21 Grad for reference can fire 40 rockets in 20 seconds.

137 rockets overwhelming the Iron Dome in 5 minutes is a very simple feat amongst a 2nd rate national power. Most countries would be able to overwhelm the system quite quickly, but alas they have to bully Gaza because of their limitations. Iron Dome is a great system but with serious vulnerabilities not easily apparent until confronted with a more powerful entity.

Target Tel-Aviv?

Could be, depends how pissed they are when the sun goes down

 

[Tomcats]

A huge portion of the deaths are children. **** off

To my knowledge (info could be outdated) there were 26 deaths in Gaza. 16 Militants, 9 Children of which 3 were killed by a militant rocket failure and 1 woman. As i said it is saddening that there are civilian casualties and i hope the innocents who have died go to heaven.

Inventory is one factor but being able to launch in volume is another one that is very difficult in the strip. I honestly don't know how they are still able to launch rockets with every inch of the strip being monitored by Israel and most likely the US.

All respect to Palestinian brothers who are at the frontlines. Target the enemy hard.. wish the world could have done more for you guys.

Yeah their arsenal is not big, Gaza is too small and their military budget is too small but they have to do concentrated attacks like that to make an impact.

Also fact. A BM-21 Grad for reference can fire 40 rockets in 20 seconds.

Agree, for nation states these defenses can be taken out or overwhelmed rather quickly.

We tried, so they sanctioned us to death for terrorism..

So:
1 Isreali = 14 Palestinians
