Someone pls explain the sudden overnight drama in Isreal, assuming I know nothing about geopolitical conflict in that region.

Preferably, without picking a side. I just want to know what's happening and why.

@r000t I don’t know either so I’ll boost

@teratology @r000t I believe Hamas attacked Israel and has some amount of fighters about 20km inside the border.

> Twenty-two Israelis confirmed dead so far and 545 injured, with death toll likely to rise, after aerial and ground attack

@thatguyoverthere @r000t idk what is happening but I know Israel commits warcrimes against Palestinians every single day and nobody is putting Palestinian flags on random software sites or their twitter bios

but if it’s Ukrainians, predominately white Europeans, it matters

@teratology @r000t tbh all war is crime imo. I think both sides participate, but Israel has a lot more weight behind them since they are our ally.

@teratology @thatguyoverthere I'm also obviously wondering how many billions of dollars that could be going to solving problems here at home are going to be sent to military contractors instead

@r000t Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad decided to launch another surprise attack on Israel and decided for it to coincide with the anniversary of a previous surprise attack and also a holiday (as what better day is it to launch a jihad where a fair amount of the opposing army is probably on holiday leave?).

Israel wants to seize all the land in Gaza as well and Hamas wants to seize all the land that makes up Israel pretty much.

@r000t Weapons meant for UA were leaking onto black market and Palestinians were buying and stockpiling them for this occasion.
Probably some of abandoned US gear from Iraq too.
