Israel Raid Frees Four Hostages

Erik offers his insights about the complex and daring raid conducted by IDF forces in central Gaza that resulted in the release of four hostages. Using the elements of surprise and deception, the daytime raid, which was planned weeks in advance, tragically resulted in the death of the commander of the operation. It was a much needed victory for Israel, and a reminder of the devilish ways in which Hamas uses citizens as human shield and residential areas as prisons for hostages.

My late husband was in Special Forces, Vietnam era. I cannot imagine the complexity of this operation. They must have practiced with mock-ups for weeks. Anything could have gone haywire at any given moment. The outcome was a miracle, no doubt of it. Israel is the land of one miracle after another. That the team leader lost his life is a terrible loss.

Yeah no shit. If Trump doesn’t hire Prince for a cabinet position in some capacity, somewhere he’s wrong.

Erik. Off topic. It when do we Americans sue the government for breach of fiduciary duty? They collect our money and I was supposed to use it for our best interests. Doesn’t seem to be happening.

[@bluebee5266]

They don't "collect money". They get credits to use in the US defense industry. This helps keep the industry afloat. They also share intelligence and weaponry technology (Iron Dome) with the US, who would not get any such benefit from any other country in the Middle East.

[@arlenegojocco7518]

The elite force that rescued the hostages was Yamam. The ones that got stuck with the vehicle that wouldn't start, was the one that rescued the 3 men not Noa.

[@michenorman7347]

Re flooding the tunnels - the Egyptians did with a few tunnels on their border - with sewage - for Israel, the tunnels are twice the length of the London underground - flooding the tunnels would have turned the groundwater saline and destroyed Gaza as a habitable environment, which is why Israel did not do it.

Why youre deleting comments about the killings of kids by Israel???

[@lexxired]

because it's propaganda

[@trumanhw]

They're not. YT does. At least you noticed it happens ... but my god, if you say dissident statements in general about US policy, you'd know it's not a feature a user can implement ... but rather, either ideological BS by YT employees ... YT higher-ups (Susan Wojcicki), political objectives (many things you can't criticize and will be threatened as if it's "hate speech" ) ... and then, those things the US gov and State Dept want suppressed, also. It's SO much bigger than your little Hamas pandering that you obviously have no idea.
