Yeah, so right now, the main focus of the operation is in Rafah and communists in southern Gaza. The Israeli military... For them to occupy, look, 2 million people in Gaza. It's a large area. The Israeli military isn't built for this. They're built to fight. quick, fast-strike, high-technology-type wars, something like an occupation.

The Israeli doesn't have that kind of manpower in their military. I think we've heard the Israelis say time and time again since this war began that its objective is to defeat Hamas. And yet here we are well over a year and a half since the October 17, 2023 attack. And Hamas is still in the fight. I think it's going to be difficult. The Israelis have to be smart about this.

The only thing I could think here is that I do see some evidence that the people in Gaza are starting to grow tired of Hamas. We've seen a couple of instances of protests. Now, Hamas has responded to that by going out and beating and executing the ringleaders of these protests.

which shows that they still have staying power and that they still can wield the stick, particularly amongst their own people. for the Israelis to completely, you know, to occupy 75% of Gaza. Well, then what about that other 25%? Is this where Hamas slips into in order to slip away from the Israeli Defense Force and bide their time?

We've seen this in, you know, the insurgencies that we fought, particularly in Afghanistan and in Iraq over time. So, call me skeptical that it can be successful, that the Israelis can succeed here, but Maybe but maybe they can. They certainly have to try because raids and airstrikes that they've been doing over the last year and a half, of course, they have inserted ground forces.

That just hasn't worked. I do think they need to try here. But I do have a lot of questions as to whether the Israeli military and Israeli society, because their military is primarily made up of the service. So. of all of these call up reservists that are going to have to be focusing on occupying Gaza are unable to go to their jobs and contribute to the Israeli economy.

So there's a lot of difficulties. It's fraught with problems, both militarily and within the, you know, politically and within the civilian population for the Israelis to maintain the type of occupation that I think they would need to maintain in order to truly defeat Hamas and Gaza.
