Ok, think through with me, this is actually pretty simple.
So historically when the middle east flairs up, there is a story or narrative to go with it. Something to bind the action together. Like any good action movie, even Rambo and Predator had a storyline that kept it together.
For some reason, all this conflict has is what, Hamas hate Israel??? And we're supposed to think that is justification for them to send hundreds/thousands on a suicide attack, knowing full well the backlash for such a thing?
Has anyone from Hammas stated what the objective was? Revenge for their leaders death? The death of his brother? Attack to release prisoners? Someone made a bad batch of Hummus? Anything?
Why would seemingly intelligent terrorist operatives perform a raid with crap for support, and no real objective other than suicide by lead poisoning and for their homeland to be glassed?
I mean yeah, Israel. But in my mind do they have to have a reason? Well yeah, actually. This isn't some craptastic phone app with lots of action, good graphics and no plot whatsoever. Makes no sense to me.
Has anyone release a video, like in the 80s and 90s? At least then they knew to release some sketchy dudes in the desert with AKs shooting a reporter, or saying scripted lines about infidels or capatilist pigs.
Its like their writers took the day off but the director still called for places, and then action.
Maybe they didn't want to recycle an old script, but also didn't want to wait for the writer's strike to be over and thought no one would notice or question it????
Thoughts? (please don't tell me they released a VHS and I just missed it)
I only have second hand info, so take as you will. My mom's decades old friend has a daughter over there, active IDF squad leader, so the story comes from that source.
They were on patrol with reinforcements (sounded like two squads, about 20 guys & gals) in their security sector and realized what was happening. Took up positions and nailed them as they came out.
It was a gang rush that ended up with a pile of 50 of em all around, and the IDF troops only had minor skuffs & bruises.
Really hard to get updates from on the ground. Their comms & internet are getting tons of interference and/or aredown most of the time so far.
And I agree with you. Some major shinnanigans going on over there. They have ground sensors too, specifically for tunnels. Should have known what was going on a long time ago.
