MSM now reporting what I've been saying for months
Some mainstream media is now acknowledging what I've been saying on Hive for months:
Israel is winning an unprecedented victory in Gaza.
You may have missed it amid the media defeatism, but Israel is winning its war in Gaza. Hamas’s losses are mounting, and support for the Israeli war effort has endured around the world longer than Hamas expected.
The IDF's performance is far better than the US (and Russia)
[T]he 2016-17 battle of Mosul [by the USA] against ISIS took nine months. “Mosul,” writes John Spencer, chief of urban warfare studies at West Point’s Modern War Institute, “was one battle, in one city against 3 to 5k militants with limited defenses. Israel is fighting multiple battles in 7 cities against 30k militants with military grade underground cities built under civilian areas.”

If you follow me on Hive you would see that I have been drawing these comparisons to US and Russian military performance in urban warfare for months.
I've analysed the metrics of military performance in detail and the inescapable conclusion is that the IDF's performance is FAR SUPERIOR to both US and Russian militaries.

The conquest of Gaza by the IDF is the most complex and difficult urban warfare scenario in all of human history.
The IDF has accomplished this extremely difficult task in:
- a rapid timeframe
- with very low losses on its own side
- historically record high kill ratios of enemy forces
- one of the lowest "civilian death" ratios ever achieved.
This is an extraordinary achievement and demonstrates conclusively that the IDF is the best military force in the world, by a large margin.

The outcome was obvious.
The only thing I disagree with is the low number of civilian casualties.
As far as I know, civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip are many times more than in Ukraine in two years!
Thanks for sharing your predictions in advance!
And for your support too!
So when does this whole conflict end?
When the Mullahs in Iran are overthrown.
so where is the proof Hamas gets the majority of their funds from Iran?
