Gaza blockaded

[NotAllThere]

I suspect they will raze Gaza to the ground, strip search all the occupants for weapons, imprison or kill anyone armed and create a tent city for the refugees or march them to Iran / Egypt.

Tricky to march them to Iran. They'd have to go through Jordan and Iraq first.

If it's confirmed that babies were beheaded then I'm calling all bets off as to how far Israel would go.

No one does vengeance like the Israelis, think Nazis and Munich 1972.

my thoughts exactly. If I had any Hamas affiliations I would be very scared right now.

Called it, Gaza will be flattened.

Sorry for the normal Palestinians but I can't see what Israel can do. Note the EU are out willy waving telling them they are breaching international law for turning the power off. Personally I would have left the water on just for the optics.

I suspect Syria will be in for a spanking soon after for sending rockets.

I reckon they stopped the water and electric to try and force the populace to flee to Egypt. Gaza was Egypt before the 1967 war anyway and Hamas are an offshoot of Muslim Brotherhood, an Egyptian terror group.

How are they going to get into Egypt? Border is closed and Egypt doesn't want them.

There is apparently US led discussions on a corridor for civilians, if that's true that can only be to Egypt. Egypt really don't want them but maybe they can be bribed? Egypt has an upcoming war itself so US/Israel weapons might be useful.

Ground invasion seems more and more certain but I have no idea how it becomes anything other than a bloodbath. IDF will have to go literally door to door and do what with the people they find?

Kill all fighting age males (>14yrs) and any females who resist. This is a once and for all operation. An eye for an eye, tooth for tooth.

You really think the entirety of the IDF are so far gone they will just gun down anyway and everyone? 100,000s of people? Why would they even bother? They could literally level the entire strip from the air and not risk a single soldier.

What happens to the millions+ under 14s?
