#3 The Israeli authorities may be influenced by the US position

No shit Sherlock? But, as long as Israel avoids ground operation Americans are happy and raise no arguments re bombing & shelling.

#4 Security source: When the power goes, Hamas will be forced out of the tunnels

Official says without power, the ventilation systems in Hamas' tunnels won't work and leaders will be forced to leave tunnels or suffocate.

#6 Translation (essentials): 8 shells a minute, 40 km range, automatic reloading.
Limit? Possibilities?

#7 Fire while displacing to a new location ?

Yes, but only once.

#8 no arguments re bombing & shelling.

Because we supply the bombs and shells.

Well, not exactly.

#10 Neither a bomb or shell.

#11 But you get the point.

p.s. IMI produces 155 mm shells and bombs and Rafael some other staff.

#12 #4: Won't the tunnel air handling be able to rely on the hospital generators?

#13 Watching the media for the magic word.
Quagmire.
You know it's coming.

#15 the effort by Hamas and its allies to prevent a ground operation leads me to think they are plenty worried about the IDF's preparation

#16 No doubt the delay also allows Hamas to further booby-trap the tunnels. Glad I'm not clearing them. Prayers for those who do!

#17 ...don't clear them. Bury them. That's what we did in the island hopping campaign. Don't dig them out. Seal all exits. Let nature take its course.

Drop a crater or ground perching bomb immediately followed by a FA bomb!

That should help clear out any booby traps, along with any remaining Hamas!

#19 I love the smell of FAEs in the morning! I'm expecting to see a lot of those cute little drones they use for closed space inspections, along with bomb disposal robots. And maybe some dogs when things have settled down and they are rounding up any stragglers.
