Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This is terrifying to me. The only way to ramp up war and also remove troops is to increase remote airstrikes. Are they going to nuke Gaza?

They would never irradiate land they want to occupy.

I think more likely they want to expand and land grab Lebanon and the West Bank.

How many nukes does the Zionist entity have? They might be saving them for Tehran...

Israel is also generally understood to have nuclear weapons but does not acknowledge it, maintaining a policy of deliberate ambiguity. Israel is estimated to possess somewhere between 75 and 400 nuclear warheads.

Are they going to nuke Gaza?

They want the land, so that's unlikely. Not that the more traditional bombing methods are going to leave Gaza much less uninhabitable, but at the very least I'm assuming they don't want fallout spilling into Tel Aviv every time the wind blows the wrong way.

I assume they're going back to the "drone patrols that kill anyone still moving" strategy, to effectively deter anyone from migrating back up north. Also, they'll likely be constricting food, water, and fuel into south Gaza in order to force more and more people into Egypt. Then they'll be pivoting troops and artillery to the West Bank and Lebanon, presumably to extend their proxy war with Iran.
