24 hours after Hamas’ devastating attack on southern Israel. A few thoughts. Everyone is comparing this, with good reason to the strategic surprise Egypt and Syria sprang on Israel 50 years ago in the Yom Kippur War. Israel’s failure then was due to “the concept”>

אנחנו בחיים.
הילדות שלנו גיבורות עולם. שכבו בשקט בחושך בממד בלי חשמל משך עשר שעות.
החיילים שהגיעו בסוף גיבורים. הצילו אותנו. חמישה מחבלים חיכו להם.

עוד נספר בהמשך. מתפללים על שכנים שנעדרים ונפצעו.

Some of most amazing friends leaders in peacebuilding community live in/near Gaza envelope. Living on bleeding edge of conflict in way few Israelis do. Some had horrific ordeals today. We’re still waiting to hear from others, after hours of silence. Today is just too much to take

Update: The IDF have reached my family and moved them to a bomb shelter. A couple, 8.5 months pregnant is in there with them and other civilians are joining. One woman's husband has been killed.

The house is burnt out, as are their cars. This is all live first hand updates

What's the war aim?

Kill some Jewish civilians.

Portray the counter-attack against terror as indiscriminate aggression against civilians: 'bombing Gaza'.

Hezbollah to attack from the north.

This is also an Iranian operation: worried about Saudi normalisation of Israel.
