Massive operation by the resistance this morning. Completely unprecedented. Several IDF soldiers killed outside gaza, a few settlements taken over by the joint resistance groups. - eviltoast

      They did not infiltrate anything as you cannot infiltrate your own occupied country – just a small correction because NPR is a public broadcaster and obviously will push a Zionist line.

      Otherwise yes they did start with paragliders, though I have to wonder how they managed to get past the checkpoints and snipers. Maybe they thought they were tourists?

      They also cut a hole in the fence and convoyed motorcycles through. But it seems the gliders were sent to secure an opening for more fighters to follow.

        you’re still infiltrating a security device even if the people who put up the walls or locks did so illegitimately. that’s a real weird revisionist prescriptivism you’ve got there.

          Clearly NPR was not talking about infiltrating a wall or lock, but about infiltrating Israel.

          that’s a real weird revisionist prescriptivism you’ve got there.

          Not sure what you mean by that.

            the specificity you’re demanding for “infiltrate” to apply is prescriptivist, and it’s revision because it does not reflect common usage in american or commonwealth.

            anyway, you’re still infiltrating a security device something even if the people who put up the walls or locks fortified border did so illegitimately.

              The comrade was being slightly pedantic in objecting to the use of the word infiltrate to make a point, but you are just being an annoying debate nerd for no reason. What do you think you are achieving with this?

    I hope this goes well for Palestine but I feel like they don’t have the support to actually succeed and Israel will continue their genocide in force

    There are pictures and videos on Twitter and Telegram that I’m not going to share. Safe to say the “IDF” is in complete disarray and everyone was taken aback by the scale and urgency of this operation – the occupier among them. News and videos are still coming out so I’m holding off on the body and injury count, but yes there is visual confirmation that the resistance completely liquidated IDF barracks before the soldiers even got out of their beds. Settlers fleeing to airports. At least 4 settlements occupied with everyone essentially driven out, but I have no idea what the situation is like right now. Several POWs taken by the Palestinian resistance as well and brought back to Gaza.
