BREAKING....Thread 9...Israel At War...OPERATION SWORDS OF IRON

Is it wise to put an aircraft carrier in the Red Sea?  Isn't that just a large lake of bathtub?  Not much room to navigate and maneuver.

Only if you want to keep your strike force as far away from Iran as possible and show the world what a demented old weak-ass POS you are.

[Timber Rattler]

Not sure how the Iranians plan to fire all that ordnance at Israel without torquing off all the countries in between.  Nor where the U.S. Navy could conceivably intervene, considering the geopgraphy.

It looks to me like the Red Sea is ~200 miles wide at its widest ... near Sanaa Yemen (can you say Houthiville?). For a carrier that's not a great deal of maneuvering room and determining its exact location would be too easy.

IMO, it's a bad idea, but endangering US military personnel is probably not a big deal to LIEden.

The US was in the perfect place to intervene up until the point that Obama totally destroyed our relationship with Iraq.

I think the possibility of a deal expired Saturday night.

Hamas thought Iran was going to pave their way and now that that path fizzled badly they have to come up with another plan to survive.

 Nearly 50 attendees of Israel’s Nova festival died by suicide since Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, survivor says

Nearly 50 traumatized revelers who survived the Hamas attack on the Nova music festival in Israel have died by suicide in the last six months because they were unable to cope with the tragedy, a survivor revealed Tuesday.

“Few people know, but there have been almost 50 suicides among the Nova survivors. This number, which was true two months ago, may have increased since,” Nova festival survivor Guy Ben Shimon told a parliamentary hearing for a State Audit Commission on the treatment of the Oct. 7 survivors.

He said many of his friends who escaped the massacre could not recover from what they had witnessed, I24NEWS reported.

“There are many survivors who had to be forcibly hospitalized due to their psychological state. My friends are not getting out of bed, neither am I,” he said in Hebrew.

“I am practically unable to do anything. I had to get a dog to help me survive in my daily life. The goal for all of us is to return to work and function normally, but we cannot do it without adequate help,” Ben Shimon added.

Israeli strikes on Rafah kill 22, mostly children, as US advances aid package
The House of Representatives approved a $26 billion aid package on Saturday.
ABC News, Apr 21, 2024

RAFAH, Gaza Strip -- Israeli strikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah overnight killed 22 people, including 18 children, health officials said Sunday, as the United States was on track to approve billions of dollars of additional military aid to Israel, its close ally.

Israel has carried out near-daily air raids on Rafah, where more than half of Gaza's population of 2.3 million has sought refuge from fighting elsewhere. It has also vowed to expand its ground offensive against the Hamas militant group to the city on the border with Egypt despite international calls for restraint, including from the U.S.

“In the coming days, we will increase the political and military pressure on Hamas because this is the only way to bring back our hostages and achieve victory. We will land more and painful blows on Hamas – soon," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. He didn't give details.

The first Israeli strike in Rafah killed a man, his wife and their 3-year-old child, according to the nearby Kuwaiti Hospital, which received the bodies. The woman was pregnant and the doctors saved the baby, the hospital said. The second strike killed 17 children and two women from an extended family.

“These children were sleeping. What did they do? What was their fault?” asked one relative, Umm Kareem. Another relative, Umm Mohammad, said the oldest killed, an 80-year-old aunt, was taken out “in pieces.” Small children were zipped into body bags.

Mohammed al-Beheiri said his daughter, Rasha, and her six children, the youngest 18 months old, were among those killed. A woman and three children were still under the rubble.

The Israel-Hamas war has killed over 34,000 Palestinians, according to local health officials, at least two-thirds of them children and women. It has devastated Gaza's two largest cities and left a swath of destruction. Around 80% of the territory's population have fled to other parts of the besieged coastal enclave.

Yes, very disturbing. I have no sympathy for the "Palestinians". They earned what they're getting in return.

"Mostly children..." is like "Women and children hardest hit."
